I Have a Question

what does it take to get employed these days? Ive gone out of my way recently for jobs, one at teletech where i was forced to leave after 2 wks, i was taking cabs in the morning cause the buses didnt run that early, i had gotten a 73 on a test after training when i shouldve gotten an 85, then someone from tutor doc got really interested in me and it was an hr away, i didnt have a ride so i took a cab $276 including a tip, the job wouldve been in my area, its been 2 wks and i never heard a word from them, should i ask these companies for my money back? also, rover.com is interested and approved my application but i would have to get a smart phone and pay extra every month for it and im kind of hesitant after these other experiences. so i didnt get one and figured if someone wants me they can either email me or call me on my landline. so any suggestions, im fed up
