Be the Change

applications

I'm currently trying to find another job. Yes, I already have two, but those are more "career" jobs that don't pay the bills... I have too much free time and I could use more cash, so I'm trying to get a "regular job."

The thing I hate about applications is trying to remember everything. It's very difficult for me to remember phone numbers and addresses of places I worked at years ago.

And then there's the "reason for leaving" problem.

With my last job, these are the real reasons I quit:

1. They weren't paying me for hours I was working.

2. They were treating me like shit.

3. I was afraid to work with my boss. I honestly feared for my safety.

What do I write on the application, though? I could say, "conflict," but that sounds bad. I don't want to bad-mouth my previous employers, no matter how bad they really were, but I also don't want to make myself sound bad, either.

I usually say, "seeking better pay" or "seeking full-time employment," but with this current application, I'm applying for a part-time, probably minimum wage position. I've seriously been sitting here for over an hour trying to think of what to write in that spot.

Any ideas?
