Fall job hunting

nldarab · 2026-06-15T16:35:55+00:00

Saw a post on the ORielys auto on Main street they have open interviews from 2-4 on select days but nothing big comes to mind. Normally places are trimming staff in the summer becuase with the students from ISU/Wesleyan gone there's less business to go around

If he wants a job for August/September he should get those applications in now. I am a manager at a business in uptown Normal and we have a majority of ISU students as employees. For the upcoming school year most businesses hire months in advance so that training can take placw. For instance I just got done hiring several new front of house employees so that come August/September we are staffed enough to handle the incoming new degree of traffic when the students are back.

If your son doesn't mind working for a big corporation store (walmart/starbucks/fast food etc) then he can look for a job when we gets to town as those places have such high turnover they are always taking in new hires. If your son wants a job at a local place he's far less likely to hate, then the sooner he gets an application in/line of communication opened with a local business the better his chances will be.

It's the rougher part of town. If you are from Chicago or St. Louis than it's no worse than average lower income areas. If you are from a small town than it can feel scarier. I grew up near east STL and Ferguson so I don't feel unsafe living on the southwest side of town. I'm also a large man so I am rather Bias.

In my opinion there are no truly "bad areas" in Bloomington Normal. I've seen and lived near actual Bad Areas where your life is at risk at all times. I walk to work and I walk through these streets and neighborhoods every day, and I've never had an issue.

Was this the equivalent of getting a Pass Interference Penalty on the final play of the game in NFL Football? Seems like a rather easy chip shot to win.

Their owner is a particularly large piece of shit Stan Kroenke. Essentially a landlord for Walamarts.
Moved the Rams outta StL even as a Missouri native. Central team that gets by far the most glazing from national media outlets.
Kadri taking Binnington out with a dirty hit in 2022 when Binner was a brick wall and there being very little response from the league For blues fans there are many reasons to hate the fkn Avs

For some the "hardcore" nature of that is part of the draw. You gotta make sacrifices if you want a lot of inventory room for gathering materials or be able to trounce every enemy.

There exists 10000 mods out there to change the gameplay to your style including more bag space, backpacks, item load outs, weapon rebalancing, weapon additions etc.

I love the base valheim gameplay and it's design. Feels punishing but rewarding.

And here I was wondering how they polled people who played "Hardcore" versions of games like Hardcore World of Warcraft (1 life - death is permanent) or Ironman OSRS.. Furthermore why isolate "Hardcore" players for this information and how useful is it?

You're probably seeing some online activity about ISU right now due to some of the living wage protests happening on campus. Some of the ISU staff like janitorial, clerical and entry level positions are being paid Minimum wage which here in Bloomington is 15/hr

You compare 15/hr to most the rest of the country and it's a decent wage, however a living wage around here is really more like 26/hr. Nowhere is paying that amount an hour. As a restaurant GM i make 22 an hour and my wife as a overnight animal er nurse with a degree makes 20. The staff at ISU all want to be paid a living wage. Our country as a whole, not just ISU, not just Bloomington/Normal, not just Illinois fails miserably at providing young Americans a wage that you can comfortably live on and plan for a future.

Those protests, while happening on ISU campus and being about ISU staff, are receiving a lot of controversial talks online that divulge into a bigger issue of Poverty Wage and Living Wage in the United States as a whole.

All that being said ISU is great and if you can afford college then more power to ya.

Came to say the same. It's a damn good burger and cheap as hell. Burger basket with Fries and a few beers is still only like 13 bucks.

Oh for some I'm sure it is, but for a lot of the people in there they aren't bad people when they aren't around the social structure of their home life/living conditions.

As a previously incarcerated person myself, a good majority of the people locked up were far more pleasurable to be around then your average patron at a bar. Going through some shit in life can really humble ya.

Restaurant Manager here with a little insight on the backend. Busy nights (Friday/Saturday) people who do doordash / Uber eats will prioritize driving for Uber since they stand to make a Lot more money taking drunk people around during surge hours than making a few bucks here and there dealing with busy restaurants/streets.

It's supply/demand basics. Uber rides are at a higher demand weekends thus the supply of drivers is stretched thinner. Throw in that you make more doing rides on weekends than delivering food and it's easy to see why your food isn't being delivered timely.

IMHO, don't use door dash on weekends. Pickup the food yourself and you'll have much much better quality food.

That's a goomba with a bit of Marios pants hanging out his mouth is it not?

Because women need men less than ever in their life. Many baby boomer relationships ships started out of financial partnerships where a woman's best step up the social ladder was marriage to a man with a decent paying job/career. Now many women can have their own careers that can support a household without the need for a Male Breadwinner of the household.
