Life ain't easy... unemployment- sign of the times?

thats when people move...if you dont get jobs in your area look somewhere else

im unemployed too, ive been trying to get a job as well. but i know that if i REALLY absolutely HAD to have a job i could get one...

 

This is true to some extent I suppose. Luckily I'm employed but I see a lot going on- people my age out of work and being able to find any... of course I don't know if they'd adopt my approach- if no full time job then job hunting is my full time job. I do not live in a part of the country that has been hit as hard by the recession/depression as some others have been.

I tend to agree with what you are saying though. Sometimes people need some constructive support- like suggestions as to how they can better present themselves at job interviews for instance. These conflicts of perspective bring to mind the usefulness of a résumé writing/job hunting forum where folks can share tips on how to make a good impression.

Your abrasiveness is good in that it gets people to thinking but you may want to measure it carefully.

By the way- I think I'm going to edit the title a tad- make it more descriptive because this is a good discussion that a new member might want to sound off in...

 

well i'm glad you have those options available. not everyone does.

 

if they are available to me, they are available to others

 

Well- you're from Missouri... so "show me".

 

i was actually thinkin about workin for the uni...ugh i really dont want to, but theyd most likely hire me in a instant

 

It's winter- raise some money man... fund the summer...

 

truth...maybe i should
although my summer will be funding my fall...which is when i will begin funding most everything that i will need. may get help with car insurance but thats about it

 

More funds for the fall. I think the economy is in for a very long difficult spell. The more moolah ya gots the better off you'll be. They're still lying to us... saying how in the past month unemployment went down... problem is the economy still lost jobs... somewhere around 300,000 of them if I remember correctly- and the man I voted for is trying to make it sound like that is somehow a positive thing when in reality people drop off the statistics when they exhaust their benefits and stop looking.

 

you have a lot to learn.

 

Don't we all...

 

what is wrong about that statement?
if jobs are available to me, are they not available to others?

get out of here with your superior mindset bullshit for real\

Nah sorry purp but youre way off the mark here. I cant talk for America but here there is NO jobs, one of the worst hit by recession with a useless, dangerously idiotic government. They still think they can tax theyre way out of recession.

Im only living in a small town but there is not one job going here, although luckily we have free healthcare (to some extent) along with free education (to a small extent) but rent allowance has been cut, job seekers allowance cut, well I could go on listing the ammount of cuts but it would take far too long. In Cork city there are some jobs but to say "if they are available to me, they are available to others " is a bit retarded.
Just because you can find a job in your area doesnt mean the same can be said for another state, or even the next town. Not everyone has the option of moving either.

Although with rent allowance now cut thousands of people are going to be forced to move, before, under the right circumstances you could get rent allowance on any property. Now it has to be under €450 a month which is hard to find. Landlords are going to have to lower their prices because of this and the whole thing is just fucking up the economy even more. The recession might be easing up on some countries but it seems as if our government is trying to dig themselves out of a hole..I just dont understand how the public lets them get away, there should have been riots by now. Its just a matter of time before there will be...

 

man, youre just miss little pessimist aint ya

 

do i really have to spell it out for you?

-not everyone has the resources to move
-not all towns and cities have the exact same ratio of jobs available to people seeking jobs
-not every fast food restaurant (or whatever) is hiring

i'm not being superior in my attitude, i'm being open minded. i believe you that you have the options to find work "if you really wanted to" and that you could move elsewhere if you really wanted to. but you have to realize not every single person in this world is in the exact same situation you are in. wake up dude.. i'm not wasting anymore time talking about this with you.. hopefully you get it now..

 

actually yes

i cant move if i "wanted to" and anyone COULD move if they absolutely hAD to get a job elsewhere...what do you think happened during the dust bowl? people had NO money at all and they traveled across the country in search of work.

dont tell me anything about my opportunities and shit, i know i am lucky to have what i have right now, but you are making it sound like i have the world in the palm of my hand

yes you are acting like you know more...you are "open minded" yet you go apeshit when i say that the opportunities for a job in ANY area are open for anyone to apply...that is the god damn truth and it is absurd that you try and tell me otherwise

if you are so open minded then why dont you listen to something i say.

honestly, when you try and make yourself sound like you are so worldly and knowledgeable about everything it makes you sound like an idiot...or soaringeagle

and bad.fish - you said you live in a smaller town. a few posts back i said specifically that small towns arent going to have job opportunities for obvious reasons. if you were in desperate need of a job, you wouldnt go looking in a town with a population of even a couple thousand

 

Good thing you found a place to stay.
Keep your chin up things will get better.

:grouphug:

 

glad you found a job! at least you got that much out of the way..

id say about 80% of people who cant find ANY job simply arent trying hard enough.

but of course, i just pulled that out of my ass ive lived in a couple different states, and gotten jobs in the city, and in rural ass towns where you think there would be no work except maybe on a farm..

if people were to put in a job application as often as they came on here to post... there would be very few people still looking for employment.

not trying to be an asshole, or judge your situation by any means though. i just know from experience that most people really aren't trying their hardest to get a job.. most people would rather hang out with friends, smoke weed, watch TV, waste time on the computer, etc.. as opposed to devoting the large part of their day toward getting hired somewhere.

 

purp.. LMAO... i don't know what else to say to you
