Finding a job is impossible

>> No.30083707

>>30083612
yeah same. im unemployed for like 3 years now and the last time i had a job it was only for 6 months. actually i have only been employed for a total of like 12 months in the last 10 years. I don't give a shit. Oh btw - i just lie on my resume and have 800+ connections on LinkedIn anyway. I LOOK legit but its still hard to find a job.
Gonna pretend i had a job up until Corona and fill my resume wiht fake shit thats untraceable and try once all of this is over.

I would probably already have a job right now if it weren't for COVID. My trade school closed for a few months and instead of finishing before summer, I get to come back in september, probably up into november to get my diploma. Even when I get my diploma i still have to ask around and actually find the fucking job, it's been 100% impossible to find an internships, there are still a bunch of holdovers from the batch of guys before us who still haven't done an internship and still aren't working, one full year after they got their diplomas.
Trade schools are based compared to colleges, but holy fuck the whole system sucks dick. I'm in Electromechanics, essentially electrician but for industrial equipment.

Pretty much you have to work for a corporation or just start your own business. Most small businesses are just hiring their own friends and acquaintances anyway since most jobs are bullshit.

Wagies suck. Just got back from the store. A wagie told me to sanitize my hands. I told him "no, I'm wearing gloves." I had leather gloves on. He told me to take them off and sanitize my hands before entering the store. I said no and went on in, made my purchase and left. Lol @ wagie grocery kids.

but quoth not the Governor, "Fool, to collect the drippings of the fat of the pig, one must first have fattened the pig from the sweat of thine brow!"? Is it not a pustule excreting fleshy irony in sharp barbs and thorns that to be a man who takes pride in the malady of a dearth of employment, he must have suffered many fortnights under the yoke of that converse sickness, that toil that eats at the spirit from within and without, that taunts "wagie, wagie, get in the cagie"! To be alive, with a corpus strong and fair, yet to suffer at the behest of swine, is the greatest curse borne out of the gift of that selfsame life.

I write smut for 2-3 hours a day and get paid about £20 for 2k words on average. Or £40 per 2k on a good day. I can pay my rent (halved living with brother). Beyond that I can spend all day in doors chilling and doing what I want so long as I just write 2k per day. Get the satisfaction of people enjoying my work which is also nice.

I had a day job. Fuck that. I keep a picture of me working my job (fast food) on the wall above my computer to remind me how good I've got it writing smut and getting paid. No managers, no colleagues. Can take a day off when I feel like, etc. Meet my own deadlines.

It's not a lot of money but I also don't want a high paying job and being locked into working for a company. I'd much rather have less and live frugally. The system is rigged and I intend to be comfy. It's like NEET life but I also get paid. Win win.

i got a local govt. job for a good bit more money than any job i've ever had, but way less actual work and responsibility. that was a few months before covid, since last march i've been working from home with even less to do than when i was in the office. i basically work 4-5 hours on monday, 2-3 on tuesday and do fuck all the rest of the week. it's been a fun year but now i'm looking for a side gig cuz i'm bored. where do write smut, and who for? is it like really fucked up stuff or are people paying for well written normal sex?

I mostly do transformation stuff. Men turned into women. Men turned into latex monsters. Men turned into women then turned into inflatable toys. Just weird stuff that is fun to write. Occassionally I'll get a vanilla idea like a guy who gets to play with his girlfriend's feet.

I basically refuse to work for people who can't speak coherent English, and those tend to be the time wasters who want stuff like giantesses stuffing pygmies in their vaginas.

that's just not the case my man. if you're forging a degree or something then yeah, but saying you were a supervisor at your last shitty job hurts no one and might get you a supervisor position somewhere else. not like it takes years of experience to actually do a job like that, so if you're competent enough to do it then where's the harm? people lie all the time without getting caught, that's life.

ive had multiple resume gaps and field changes, but I work in gov compliance so its really just being able to do the job when you get in. nobody has asked me about my past positions, as I do well enough at this one.
I'm past the 'reaping period' now and I'm rarely contacted so long as I do my work, and stay punched in for 40 hours. Just fake it until you make it, or in this case fake it until you figure out the job, then make it.

that could be a smart way to double your money, assuming your customers don't mind you sharing their commissions. it doesn't hurt to have some extra income, you never know when you might need a few days off or get hit with an unexpected bill. you could also try selling your stories on amazon or something, even if only a few people pay a few bucks each to download it, that's more money than you had before for basically no extra work.

Dubs confirm the women part, but just like the value of our magic internet money, the current system is one big vaporware performative dance. The current system will never crash, it will just become unlivable for people without land, political connections or vital utility to the life support systems that keep it limping along. Someday you may be standing in a breadline waiting for your phone app to get scanned as people lay dying in the street, but the TV screens (which are already on every street corner and in ever indoors space like some Orwellian fanfiction) will be jabbering about the record-breaking Black Friday sales, the boom in the housing market, and how all the smiling upper class got together in their Bremer walled Green Zones to sing Kumbaya for the Holidays. You won't be able to find any discussion about the crippling poverty around you online unless you "know a guy" who can connect you to a HAM radio meshnet for a few hours a day, and if you speak out angrily about the latest pet project of the higher classes - whether that's the violence of "underprivileged minorities" or the latest war in Iran - you'll find your breadline and emergency housing apps mysteriously desync and stop working, and your support tickets glitch out after 4 weeks waiting in a queue.

Buy land, spend the 5 years it takes to learn self sufficient organic gardening not reliant on commercial fertilizer and how to raise animals without constant antibiotic shots. Good luck.
