Don't feel bad, OP. Just the fact that you're out there is a step in the right direction.

Don't let our fellow /jp/sies throw you off. Being employed is WAY BETTER than being NEET. Once you figure out how to deal with the normalfags, the benefits far outweigh the detriment. In fact, I appreciate my bedroom so much more after I've been forced out of it for a few hours.

That said, if you can find a way to make money from the computer that is INFINITELY preferable.

Good luck!

My mother has contacts, she works in the goverment. When I tryed to get a job there I failed the spelling test.

She helped her secretary (who studied in law school) to get a job. In return, the father of his secretary who is a leader of trade union promised to find me a job.

I got this interview because of him, but the dude who interviewed me say there was a mistake, they needed that I being a college graduate (I'm 24 and I'm still a student, the secretary of my mother was my classmate in high school).

Are you serious? Employment is like being in kindergarten again. You have
-faggots telling you how to dress and how to act
-telling you when you may eat or go to the bathroom or answer a call
-constantly giving you pointless busy work
-always expecting stupid reports that they won't actually even read/listen to
-retarded smelly kids bugging you about their stupid problems and wanting to tell you about their cats and shit

See? Just like kindergarten, except with no naptime, and instead of the teacher praising you for everything you do it's your boss bitching at you.

Work is basically hell, the ONLY benefit is the money. Which, depending on how much you earn, can be quite a benefit.

Actually, I couldn't agree with you more about EVERYTHING you posted.

I just like being able to buy figures and food and shit. Some people can hack a mean existence. I did for a while. It got to the point where my anxiety about food and shelter started to outweigh my social anxiety.

Like I told OP, if you can figure out a way to make money on your own or better yet from the comfort of your own home that is the way to go.

protip for interviewing: i screen applicants by resume/cover letter to weed out obvious retards: frat boys, religious freaks, people with douchebag hobbies, people who can't put a one-page resume together despite having basically unlimited time

when you come into the interview, you basically have the job--i'm not interested in your technical skills, education, grades (lol), etc. i already know what i need to know, or i would ask before you arrive

what i am really interested in is assessing whether i can stand working with you every day. the job is yours to lose--eyes down and whispering, interrupting/talking over me constantly, visible piercings/tattoos, sounding like a pompous ass

you just need to fake being normal and you're in. if you can strike up a casual conversation on demand, you've got the job (unless an asian girl with big tits applies)

Corporate managers are taught that they can only meet expenses if they hire Mexicans willing to work less than inflation says the job pays.

It turns out that Americans actually are willing to work minimum wage, which anyone being paid too much (read: anyone with any sort of executive decision-making power) doesn't realize.

Moreover, in many parts of the country, managers would prefer hiring American nationals to foreigners.

Our Congress is still astonished by this for some reason. Apparently, all Americans should be demanding so much money that no one will hire them.

Once upon a time, employees could walk down the street and get another $5-an-hour job (this was when $5/hr would get you a brand new Cadillac after six months of work).

Lazy faggot. People should work every weekday of their lives with only 10 days vacation. You know those kikes in Israel work six days a week? Same with those smelly Japanese fucks.

I agree with not having it dominate your life outside of the workplace though. My IT douchebag at college was telling me about how there is a company that archives every page on Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, and all the rest of that shit and that companies will have them search those archives to find dirt on you before hiring. So if you happen to have a bunch of dumbass friends post stupid shit on your profile 4 years ago those companies may not hire you. Fucking bullshit is what it is.

Sorry, I might not be reassuring some of you who post bong rips on your profile, so let me reiterate.

100 years ago, the most prominent law firms in New York refused to hire "unqualified" Jewish lawyers. As a result, Jewish lawyers got the "unsavory" cases like divorce, bankruptcy and that American staple, straight-up suing. Now, the most prominent law firms in New York are Jewish owned and operated.

tl;dr The meek wind up in a ditch. The depraved inherit the earth. Keep fapping to loli.

Aw, no. I'm actually pretty up and up on my skills on the job, but my ability to take the lunch hour pressure and tolerate inane coworkers proved to be a bust. Knowing I can't hack it without becoming a nervous wreck, combined with the agony caused by just trying to meaningfully communicate with the people I had to work with ate every bit of motivation for the school I had. After having had 2 fistfights with fellow students, I practically lost the will to even leave my apartment. Cue sporadic unexplained absences for the last 5 months = GTFO, most likely.

Expelled. From a school.

The situation was a little odd. After two years of pissant passive-agressive wankery from a few other students, I finally snapped and smacked one of them around. And in the resulting talk with the teacher, all I was told was that he was wondering why I hadn't done it a long time ago.

So I herped a derp, wondered about it for a while, and then went and punched another dick just to see if disciplinary action really was an urban legend in the educational system I am in. Turns out I was correct. Utter loss of faith and motivation followed very quickly afterwards. So that's the kind of society I was sweating day to day to enter.

I'm getting a little tempted to get some diagnose too. I'm going to talk to some workers tomorrow about what measure they can do to ensure I'll get a job soon, and I really don't have any ideas or motivation for it at all. But they did allow me to skip this 3-day program that everyone are supposed to go through if they want to receive any unemployment benefits, because I had already told them about my previous troubles with social situations. So maybe it will just be easiest to continue going with it.

Work job for two years, get moved to a different store. Forced to do 60/hour weeks on min wage no benefits due to retards under my power, but because finding people for the shift was so hard I got the blame. Every day at the beginning and end of my shift I would get bitched out by a different manager and everyone else for something out of my control. (Controlling someone with real ADHD is fucking hard when they're 50 and think everything is wrong with them)

After a few months of that I pussied out and quit, probably the biggest mistake of my life.

Got another job about 3 weeks after, started out fine. But once it hit Sept I was doing 14 hour days, stressed out as fuck, min wage, over time does not exist. Pussied out.
