It should not be as hard as it is to find a job these days...it's like everyone is hiring, but nobody wants to hire you specifically...

Back when I finished University, I think I sent out about 30 letters and applications...I remember I had two interviews, and three rejections. The rest went unanswered. |
I sometimes wonder how many applications these people really get and if they're just lazy in processing them or not...if you want workers THAT badly, replies should happen pretty quickly, not weeks after the fact >.>

Yeah, part of it is luck and timing, too. A lot of places won't bother to take job postings . Or they'll just put them up for the sake of appearing fair because they already have someone in mind but can't appear to show favouritism...I'm positive I've lost out on more than a few jobs because of that. |
Sweet, sweet unemployment.
(I'm poor and my family is starving) |

Unemployed for three years, five months and counting...getting worried that when I'm capable of working again I'll never get a job because nobody will want to hire someone who has been out of work for so long...

...honestly, I'd settle for any part-time morning job at this point. I'm not in a position to be choosy anymore like I was when I left University. xD |
I hear coal mining is coming back.
>_> |
I don't think I'm fit for physical labour of any kind somehow. xD;
Plus I'd drive my co-workers mad with Hi-Ho literally all day |
When I worked retail I had to stand on the checkout for 8 hours, that was pretty bad even though I was in better shape back then. I didn't mind moving around to take delivery and stuff, but I wish I could have sat down back then...
|
i had a retail job where i had to work 8-hour shifts without any break whatsoever and no pay for the first three days. i quit the next day.
|
I'm alright with sitting all day as long as I can stretch...my knees seize up and start to ache if I stay in the same position for too long. But then, you're supposed to take regular fifteen minute breaks from staring at screens if you work with a computer or something, so it's not too bad. Hard to take regular breaks when you have to serve customers on your feet all day...
|
I used to have an hour's break...which I took an hour before my shift was supposed to end. It made the morning hell, but I got to go home an hour early >:3
|
in my last office job, we had an hour for lunch which we could take at either 12, 1, or 2 which was actually really nice. taking a 2-3 lunch made the day seem shorter when finishing at 5.
|
Kind of annoying when you're being told when to take your lunch...in my last job we took turns so that someone was always in the office, and I always volunteered to go last so I could go around 2:30 or so. The afternoon drags something awful if you go too early, right? =x
|
Most people want to take their lunch as early as possible because they're hungry and/or fed up of working, so it's usually pretty easy to sort something out in those cases I think~

I have a surprising amount saved for someone who used to blow money that he didn't even have originally (overdraft life YEAAAAAAA). I mean it's not like, thousands, but it's enough to have me getting by on a basic level and enough to deal should some sort of expensive emergency (idk what) arise. Then again, what I consider a "basic" level is way way way below acceptable for most people I've talked to. |
...I buy literally every video game I want. I'm terrible. Although I have savings I do not touch, and I know how to budget and whatnot...I do have two Accounting degrees after all. But I'm generally not very restrained when it comes to spending my spare cash; if I want it, I get it.
Although that's partly because if my savings go over a certain amount I lose access to money, and if I lose access to money I can't afford to pay for my keep, meaning I get put out on the streets. I guess I don't save my spare money very often, but I don't spend more than I can afford to. Bills first, luxuries second. I'm a pessimist - when I think I'll have a future, I will start saving for that future. As long as my life expectancy is as low as it is...if I want it, I'm going to buy it. |
Spending money when I don't have to is not something I do. I'm a scrooge.

my savings are actually pretty good right now, i'm managing to get by without any money problems. i'll be getting a student loan in september, but i have no idea about all that just yet.
|
Whenever I get extra cash I am very stingy about spending it. I often just let it sit for weeks before I decide to buy more music, or a game, or some movies.
