idk about your place but why you didn't just call someone like family or a friend or just took a taxi? Also next time check your bike before starting searching for jobs...

At least you HAD an interview. I've been out of work since the end of April with no luck on even one callback. I have a feeling that I was right all along. No one is going to hire me. Pessimism is my form of optimism. Why? Because I see that I am ALWAYS right about myself losing out.

If you've not done so yet, do contact the folks you were supposed to have the interview with, and let them know the situation.
It's common decency, and if you're lucky they'll be willing to give you another chance.

In my country the average worktime is 9 hours a day from which 1 hour is break and 8 hours of actually doing something. I happened to read following inspirational text somewhere:
If you don't have a job, it is your job to find a job. This means that you should put as much effort into it as having a job - in other words 8 hours a day to find a job.

The best why to find a job is if you know someone who have good spot in his job and he can recommend you :) That is how i got my first shitty job :D After some time( a year) i find easier job what i liked but still shitty(Pays minimum wage ,but lucky me .. i am 25 almost and i got payed 7.20£/per hour what is enough to live in uk with out your own family :)

don't worry, your luck will come soon, just look for it and don't miss it :)

Apply to everything that is even remotely close to your field of specialization, always send a cover letter with your CV even if the employer did not ask you to. Limit the cover letter to one page or 400-500 words max as a rule of thumb (unless otherwise specified). In the cover letter make sure to show that you know things about the company like their specific ongoing projects or their mission and try to mention them in the letter, also mention that you are dynamic and you follow the philosophy of continuous improvement and what not, try to make it as non-generic and interesting as possible. When writing it, always imagine yourself in the position of HR reading through thousands of letters, would your letter interest you if you found it in the pile? Or you will throw it away after reading the first sentence? And like what other person here said, if you are jobless, your job is to find a job.
Good luck!

Job interviews are stupid as fuck

Where in AZ are you? Do you have a license? I'm flying out at end of month, and know someone who runs a pool maintenance company that services the Tuscon area. Also if you have a landline, you could try westathome.com I did some work for them for a while. Work from home, phone operator type shit. Sometimes your doing like 411 for sprint, other times your taking calls for QVC.

Lol I literally got fired from a job the day before I was supposed to start reason was "Someone came back and we hired to many people" That was after doing training crap to.

How do you make giveaways without a job for income ?XD

I think you should have turned up to the interview even if you were late and explain what happened atleast that way you show you really want the job by turning up regardless of what happened. But I dunno all the details I'm guessing the interview was really far away, all you can do is just keep on trying you're bound to get a job soon just apply for any and everything you can.

Ah that sucks, but it happens to some of the best of us, I have a similar story. I had the chance of working in Stokoma, that's a store that sells guns & army equipment. I was looking forward to that interview all week. The night before I couldn't sleep, so I wasn't well rested. I rode my bike to the store for the interview (+-45 minutes) and then when I got there the interviewer asks me for my resume. It was at that time I knew I fcked up, I left my resume at home. I showed up the next day but they already hired someone.

It might sound cliché but keep searching eventually something will turn up when you least expect it.

Do you know another language than English?

lie with class

there are no cabs/taxi/friend/family/SOMEONE that could have drive you there?
if it still was "time" (same day) I'd tried getting there anyways, if I really wanted the job, maybe I'm being stupid and dreaming with the utopic world where the employer -or at least the PR whom is doing the interviews- would VALUE the effort I did by overcoming shit hitting the fan and still coming to the appointment.. Yeah, it's based in a lot of maybes, like good/fair employers, not-so-long distances, no blizzard or electric storms, no muggers, no giant spiders or boxing kangaroos, you know..

Sorry for you mate, it's hard out there, I've been trying to get a job here and no luck. I'ts not that I'm not qualified, it's shitty luck and no contacts. I'm convinced you cannot get anywhere without the right contacts to.. well, contact you, make it happen.

ps. Didn't you checked your bike while filling the tires? a mess like that would had showed (prob) signs of getting their last ride sooner than expected! XD

ps2. can't you work from internet? I'm saying this (and sounds silly) but you want it as NEAR as your home as possible, so, working from INSIDE your home would be a killer, right? yay? :)

Based on my own experience looking for jobs many years ago (haven't switched job for years), I always used reliable transportation methods e.g taxi or even rent motorcycle (cause they normally check the condition before renting it) or something.

And always always leave home much earlier to prevent traffic jam.

Thankfully I have quite work experience and education background so I didn't have problems getting interviews. Getting accepted was a bit difficult, but doable for jobs I liked.

You got one, you can get another. I know it may not feel like it though, and it's totally understandable to feel like that. I just hope for a second or two, somewhere in there, you can be aware you can still do this.

good luck to get a new job. Repair can be done later. or spend a few minutes. if there is a near workshop and can do so very quickly. popytaytesb warn that linger. if it does not alert the looking for a way to get there as quickly as possible

sorry to hear man,i live in phoenix myself hot as hell here this year defiantly not bike weather=/

That one you missed was just the beginning think of it this way. Hopefully soon you will find a job that suits you. Next year i will start looking job as well so i kinda hear you. Hope everything will go the way you want it to :)

I remember when it was my 21st birthday and I had a party with some friends and I was all like 'I have a job interview in the morning so I can't get too drunk or stay up too late'. But then somebody convinced me to take a few hits on this bong and it was all over as I don't usually even do that kind of stuff. I was doing karaoke on my own at 5 am in my underwear.

A few hours later I was at the job interview feeling more poorly than ever in my entire life. And I was late because my neighbour had made me clean up where I had sicked outside his front door on the way to the interview. And the lady who was interviewing me made me a cup of coffee and I sicked it up and then I sort of spasmed and threw the rest of the hot coffee over her blouse.

I was in a band at the time and I had a great gig the next night, although the support act was really terrible and had to be rescued by his mother. That cheered me up a lot - but in hindsight I am still ashamed of much of my life. There is probably some sort of moral to this story but I am too lazy to work it out for you.

I was late to an interview recently because I decided to use my smartphone as my satnav in my pocket while cycling with earphones and it took me on a stupid and slow route so took twice as long as it should.

Still did the interview and was feeling very positive but 2 days later found out I did not get the job and was probably the saddest I have been in my life so far.

I was told I should have taken a taxi but this is something I have never done before and does not appeal to me at all.

open a bike repair store? :P
