anyone out of work ?

I'm working in a hotel atm..but never sure of my job because of the recession

 

I am 'on holiday' atm, but am applying for jobs even so, I am not nervous yet, but will be if I can't get something within a month. I agree, it's tough out there!

 

I got laid off yesterday. but it happens every year

 

That interview is in 5 hours and I'm tweaked out about it.

Pretty even blend of fear that A: It's just going to be yet another sketchy opportunity that I raised my hopes over for nothing. and B: that it's going to be legit and,,, I dunno,,, I'm just tweaked out.

 

I start my new job in 2 hours.

what a pisser.

 

I just recently became out of work. I get laid off at the end of every summer and it is pretty depressing. But luckily I have a backup plan.

 

OMG, Christine! How are you, LONG time no talk! Years, even! lol

 

Yeah it has been! How are you doing and everything?

 

Another interview on the horison for a gig doing exactly what I used to do at O'Hare minus being on call 24-7-365... And in different locations at the Airport.

Best of all it's only part time to start,,, would hate to go back to 50 hour weeks after having been idle for nearly 6 months let alone having had a regular 9 to 5 type position since 07'.

 

i,m down to 3 days a week, cable is shut off, but still got the good ole pc.

 

i knew it, there is someone inside that machine pushing your money out to you!

 

Yes, I am at the moment. I got fired from one job after I left my farmhand job, and then moved on to work a casual possition at a pet store. I guess 'cause I was a casual salesperson they decided it wasn't worth calling me to tell me that they just closed down one day, and I was out of the job again.

I think what happened there was the fact that they were loosing money rather than making money cause of poor management. Also the clincher would have been the fact that there was a pretty bad bout of parvo, too. I'm glad to be out of there really. They weren't doing anything with the puppies other than sending them out the back of the store, putting them in cat cages and feeding them yogurt with a syringe. I wanted to leave anyway.

I'm on the dole at the moment, on rent assistance. What I do is I look for ten job's in a fortnight; if I dont look for the ten job's, then I dont get paid. Simple as that. Now that I'm on centerlink payment's, I realise that a lot of people just assume that yeah, you go in, you get paid, you just bludge the rest of the time. But no, they make sure you're looking for employment at the same time.

 

I have a job. It's not great but could be a lot worse.

I went though long periods of unemployment in my 20s.

 

I was laid off last April. This is the first time for me not working since I was 16, so I've been enjoying it up till now.....Collecting unemployment for the first time as well as side jobs here and there. But now I caught my live in gf cheating on me, agreed to stay roomates but we all know how that goes lol. No all my stuff is in storage and Im crashing on my sisters couch. Oh yea and my truck broke down....needs a new motor.

So needless to say, I'm going to have to start actively finding a job. My dog just had 8 puppies and I'm expecting to get $800 a piece for them, so that will fix my truck and give me a deposit on a new place.....but I haven't found any landlords willing to sign a lease with someone on unemployment
