I hate having to justify not having a job yet to people.
Going home for the weekend in two weeks (so I will have left town for 6 weeks). Of course, I don't have a job yet. It's been 6 weeks, and if i'm honest the first 2 weeks was more about getting myself settled in the city (as well as having teeth removed and recovering from that).
I have been put forward for several positions by agencies and applied for plenty online. But some of these applications have closing dates, a lot of which aren't even up yet!
And yet I know, when I go home, the first question absolutely EVERYONE is going to ask me is 'Got a job yet?' Heck, they were asking me that before I even bloody left!
I just HATE that question.
I know it's just standard. I know people are only being nice and making conversation. But it just drives me up the wall, especially if it's followed by any look of judgement or a comment like 'bloody hell, what are you going to do?'
It's like they think I haven't thought this through. When I made this move, did I SAY 'I'll move there and get a job within 6 weeks?'
No, I believe I said I had enough money to cover me for a 'few months' until I found a job... So why on earth are you so surprised I don't have a job yet?!
AHHHHH! Rant over
