I hate Earth

[Silvermoth]

I've been trying to get a job for four years. I don't have a huge grasp, I just want to be able to earn money, you know, so that I can eventually buy a house or travel like my sister does.

Last week I applied for a job in a call centre. No, not a nasty one. I don't sell things to people. My job was to take messages and enter them into a computer like when you order a taxi or something.

and I got it! Do you know how excited I was! How much I felt like I was worth something! I couldn't wait til training tomorrow.

But they just gave me a call the day before training begins. Sorry, the job is no longer avaliable. You are once again unemployable.

I've already told everyone I'm working now. All my friends and my sister who is on the other side of the world. My ex boss was so thrilled for me, everyone was. They knew how passionate I am to work. I have even volunteered in the St Vincent de Paul society for a year and a half where I became a co-ordinator in lightening speed because I was so good at doing things.

I wish I could have a chance to prove myself. I wish for once I could see what a paycheque looks like.

Post your bad jobhunting experiences here.

You will, most likely.

And Earth is kinda a crap planet due to us screwing it around.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

What has Earth done to you?
Humans. You hate humans.

It's the way things go, because of the idiots in high places, the real people with talent, common sense and skills get ignored.

Four years! Dang...you really can't find a job within four years? Maybe go get a higher education? Take out a loan and go to community college or a specialist school if you can't afford the big college and then get to work. Waiting isn't going to help ya

I've just graduated from a Bachelor of Arts (Media and communication) t university with a distinction average.

 

[The Battousai]

I take it "Earth" was the name of the guy who denied you the job?

 

[chaseter]

Well if you just graduated, why the four years worry?

Finding a job has been hell for me, too. I finally got a job (I haven't worked since November 2008) at a Wal-Mart. Now, I clearly applied for all of the following: Cashier, Sales Floor, Stocking (taking items from the back room and putting them on the shelves), Electronics and Groceries.

I'm a fairly weak person...pretty skinny, and you can look at me and instantly tell I can barely lift my own weight. Considering all this, plus my experience as a cashier, sales rep, and pretty much customer-associate interface, you'd think I would have gotten hired in as a cashier or something?

No. I'm warehousing. Lifting extremely heavy boxes all day. Boxes far heavier than I can manage...all day. What really kills me is that I was told they needed more warehousing staffing tan they needed cashiers, yet during orientation, I was the only ICS guy while they hired four cashiers. If they desperately needed more ICS, then why only hire 1 while the cashiers are now overstaffed? PLUS, one of the new cashiers is this 6'3, 200 lb plus athletic-type guy! Not to hate or anything, but COME ON! Clearly HE needs to be back in the warehouse! He has the muscle to do this kind of labor! My weak-ass needs to be in HIS position!

F***in' sucks, is what it is. And I need this job, so I just have to deal with it.

 

[The Battousai]

WAL*MART is ******ed - now you have first-hand experience of this fact

 

[The Depp]

Once again, the logic of these high placed morons is astonishing!

 

[Ace of Knaves]

It's hard to get a job everywhere these days. A LOT of people are in the same boat.

Hell I'm lucky I'm doing 3/4 day weeks, the construction industry (especially residential) is ****ing basically non existent over here.

No labouring jobs where you are? Hard work but it's money.

And these words are so, so true.

It's not what you know...it's WHO you know. Write that down [/Van Wilder]

Planet Earth is great to visit but you wouldn't want to live there

Is this thread a promo for District 9?

 

[Majic Walrus]

Wait wait wait... Where the hell do you live? They don't have fast food there.

I hate Jupiter, **** that planet

 

[Aesop Rocks]

I know right? Who the **** does Jupiter think it is?

That comet did RIGHT showing it knows whose boss.

**** Jupiter.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Jupiter is my fwend

 

[Majic Walrus]

Yeah man. **** Jupiter. All big and gassy... Like an overweight car salesman who's eaten too many Volcano Double Beef Burritos from Taco Bell. Now available at participating locations.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

*puts down Volcano Double Beef Burrito*


.....y-yeah man!

 

[Wiseman]

Jupiter is my fwend

I never like friends of a friend, makes me jealous.......why do you hang out with him more, I'm pretty fun to hang around with. I know I pee'd on your wall and hit on your gf but I told you I was drunk

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Some things are unforgivable Wiseman. Jupiter provides a shoulder for me to cry on when I'm feeling emotional and...bloated.

Do you share Hagen dazs with eachother while you cry over men

 

[Ace of Knaves]

No, no, no. We're classy, we do Ben and Jerry's. But you are right about everything else.

 

[BlackLantern]

in my area, there are jobs....its just jobs that most people don't want to do...janitor type stuff, hard manual labor, etc
