Are you a parallel universe Mat then? It'd go a long way to explain your scary newfound right wing streak. I've only ever had one job in my life. A Christmas Temp job at Gamestation. I did it for two Christmases, then moved to university.
Even if this was true and I landed a job, I would still be having this conversation with you. I'm not mad out of fear, I'm mad out of disgust.
Holy shit, can you read? There's nothing anyone looking for a job can do about the amount of people out of work. There's only so many jobs and all these places get filled. People who don't 'try' are just so desensitized and apathetic to the system that's shit on them their entire lives that they've
given up. I've been on training schemes. I've seen the average jobless. They are frustrated and angry and lost and barely surviving. It's a system where the worst performers will always without exception fail. There are less jobs than there are people.
Soooooooo unemployed people should sit in a bare house staring vacantly at the wall and eating soup until they're magiced into a job? Having the internet is the bare minimum requirement for landing employment nowadays. Access to culture and entertainment keeps poor frustrated people off the street (And out of your cards, handbags, prisons [They cost a lot of money!] etc). Books help people better themselves. You'd trample on people without the power to stand up for themselves and call it social justice.
Yep! Employers should only have as many employees as they can afford. Anything else is entitlement theft, in my opinion.
Because a Democrat is only a Republican who hasn't yet been mugged, right? I don't give a shit about your outrage or sense of justice because something bad happened to you, hence how I tried to keep my own status out of the equation. If your opinion was formed because something bad happened to you, it's not an opinion worth having. Same goes the other way.
As an aside, I'm curious how someone who lives within driving distance of Detroit can believe poverty and unemployability is the fault of the person, rather than the fuckups of those in power.
No, you had them because of your experience. Tell you what, I'll write some self congratulatory diatribe about my work ethic on my cv and see if I get any more interviews than usual next week?
I apply for cleaning jobs, catering jobs, litter picking jobs etc. Any job I can find. They don't want a degree student, they want someone with experience.
I live in a ghost town in the worst region of the UK. I can't afford to move because I'm poor.
Honest to God Mat. Over a hundred applicants for every job I've gotten an interview for. If they interview ten people, is it the fault of the other ninety for not being suited enough for the job? Is it my fault for not interviewing as well as the one son of a bitch with the 'gift of the gab' who befriended the employer in five seconds flat?
