Im so sick of looking for work. sick of looking for jobs, sick of filling out applications, writing letters, tarting up for interviews. sick of it all.

I got the very first job I applied for when I was leaving school despite there being thousands of applicants for 18 positions, and everyone was telling me I wouldnt get it.

Then when I left, 3 different jobs found me, where I didnt really want to do anything. People were asking me to work for them!

Now, when it really matters, and I really need a job to get out of this shithole suburb, I cant get anything at all. Cant get computer jobs, cant get fitting jobs... nothing.

SUCKS. 馃槵

thanks for listening, im off to eat dead cow, chocolate muffins and drink beer.

sorry, thought I was in BA

Yeah, its easy getting a job when ur young. Like me for example, i find it dam easy to get work at my age, cause my young age makes my wage cheaper, making it easy for me to get into the retail or hospitality industry.

What i have noticed is with most of the 'adult' jobs such as managerial positions, or doing a profession or even working and keeping up books, or even a trade, you need extra education and training to get into it (or to have good chances). From what i have seen, it seems hard to get into a full time 'adult' job (rather than being a checkout chick or stockier) without any training, education or experience. Have one of these 3 in the job field, and it should strongly increase ur chances.

Good luck mate, im sure there is a job around here. Alll human beings have some useful quality, so someone here should be able to find out what and how he/she could use you as an employee.
