    I hit the construction sites and ask for the foreman. I ask if they need help right now and if not " do you know where I could find one?"
    Alot of times, they will have you cleaning up the job site. Alot of the contractors are always looking for good help and they voice it.

    Sometimes I'll call all the construction companies in the phone book. I start at the "A's and work my way down. When asked about experience, always tell the truth and that you are a hard worker.

    Always show up at these jobs ready to work now, have your gloves, hat and boots on you. Don't turn anything down.

    Good luck to you.

    You can try animal clincs and ask if they have any kennel work available.

    Ah, Tampa ...
    Great place xD
    St Pete here ...

    Hmmm .. Well like places here wont hire you such as Publix and whut not .. they want some clean cut bullshit ...

    But i actually heard that the Publix Greenwise stores do hire people with longer hair, dreads, piercings, etc .. They dont follow the clean cut policy or something like that . Maybe you shud check that out?

    I'm in the same boat! Well, I'm 24, but I'm tattooed and pierced, with dreads. I set up an interview on the phone, and they love me. Then I get there. They take on look at my hair, and poof, I'm not what they're looking for. (Mind you, I'm qualified!) Why must we conform to answer phones, enter data, wait tables, operate cash registers, or wipe butts in a nursing home?! Does having ink impact my ability to work hard in any way? Of course not. But we're still in the minority, and ignorance knows no color. (Unfortunately, it does see dreadlocks.) I'd like to dispel a myth here and now.... HIPPIES ARE NOT INHERENTLY LAZY!!!!!!! I'm certainly not. I make all kinds of stuff to sell on ebay. (Dread coils, voodoo dolls, roach clips, and other small gifty-things. cynnnamon on ebay.) But right now, those don't pay the bills. Maybe some day, but for now, I'm stuck trying to find a place. Thanks for letting me vent. Good luck to everybody with dready hair and a dream of paying the mortgage.

    Just wanted to apologize for throwing the "h"-word out there. That's just what people generally call me.
