Title: :piss unemployment :piss2
Post by: The Sceneman on December 01, 2010, 08:29:48 PM
shit sucks, theres no jobs online and this is the worst time of year to look for work.

Just asked my dad for a weekly allowance while I look for work  :(

I dunno maybe I should enjoy this shit becasue I am studying, I just feel like less of a man not earning shit.

Who at EB is unemployed and loving it?? I need help here

I got a job but the pay is shit and yeah I'm agree not earning your own money feels like crap, unless you have a rich family and can afford a bunch of awesome shit without working which would totally rock :rock

yeah my dad said he'd give me an allowance until I find a job which is cool I guess but I feel pretty useless cos I know he isn't exactly made of money. Oh well. More time to play games! ha! Basically I need to put a pin in my drinking habit, try and limit myself to a case of beer in the weekend. No bars.

I'm unemployed, not really loving it that much though. Mainly because I keep working [writing] and don't get anything for it. Feels bad man.

Working at a local USPS hub for the month. Shit sucks so bad. Its a mixture of strenuous physical work, being micromanaged and having to deal with curmudgeony old co-workers. Some of the workers are nice but most of them are entitled douches that are bitter about never moving above line work. FUCK.

I've been unemployed since April - not really loving it though.  Watching my finances drain after working hard to build them up is not very appealing.  Oh well, it's just money.  :-\

I'm working at a panera part time now, after not working for almost 8 months. Not ideal, but the knowledge of getting paid and being able to buy things that I want is so great. And I get a discount on bread, woot.

 ::) because you cant just magically get hired. I'm quite experienced but theres just more people than jobs where I live. Had a job interview a couple of weeks ago that I thought was in the bag, but nope. Someone better always comes along

I had the best rebuttal lined up. If he replied I was gonna say:

"Why dont you shut up and do your monthly replay of Macarena of Time"

he was gonna be so owned

Yeah, it really, really fucking sucks when you think you're a good fit for a job and they end up getting someone with a lot more experience.  I kept applying for entry-level jobs and was told more than once that they wanted someone with experience under their belt.  One place even told me that they were going to likely go with someone with 6+ years experience AFTER I had been talking with them for an hour or so and they showed me the workplace/had me meet people. What is the point in wasting time like that? 

Still wasn't as bad as an interview I went to in Japan (which was in Tokyo, so I had to pay for a train ticket and get a hotel room to make it there-- that's like $300 spent just to go) where the president came in and told me he had no idea why I was there since they only hired people with 5-10 of experience and that I was just wasting his time; he had to go "talk to someone important" and left me to talk with an employee there, who basically convinced me not to bother with that job path at all.

I got lucky with the job I found: My cousin's roommate just so happens to work there and just so happens to be in a position where he can easily get someone an interview with them.  I had even applied to them a week before he got my resume, and they hadn't responded.  None of the recruiters or job search sites I joined helped much; I got almost all my previous interviews from Craigslist ads or from my school's Alumni site.

A better rebuttal is "why dont you get some health insurance HAHAHAHAHAHA"

Cause... hes in American and doesnt have insurane while you got it all good there in Kiwitits

I got my latest job through Craigslist. Which has health insurance btw. Oblivion owned.

This must be why socialist states have such high suicide rates. Lack of health insurance motivation, the biggest philosophical mover of men.
