Inb4 millennials
>death to 1% yada yada yada
You millennials are pathetic
Had an interview with a gas station. No call back.
Tried a tea place, factory, kmart, walmart, marcs, internships, best buy, time warner, huntington bank, janitor at planet fitness, petsmart stocker, dock worker, dollar store, staples, and no call back.
How long would it take to go to a trade school and get a job as a plumber or electrician or something?
>>79234203
Not so good since I retired. You?
been working at a grocery store for 6 weeks $10/hr
>>79234203
I'm stuck in a dead end job making only 17 an hour
I'm on the verge of being fired actually. Thinking about applying to new places before they can me.
It's not going since I am employed and not a NEET faggot.
>>79234454
Hurr durr, stupid millenials just don't want to work
>>79234203
I am applying to be a prison guard
I threw it out there among the other jobs but they got back to me the next day. The money will be nice but fug I dont want to be a jackboot thug
>>79234454
wtf i literally got out of jail, was on house arrest and go a job within a week of being out.. had no license no car.. your fucking retarded
>>79234454
2 year is the standard for trade schools around here, but after the first year you should be trained enough to get a job in the skill while the second year is electives and general studies.
>>79234615
I guess so. Where do you live?
>>79234203
Dole, got a phone call this morning out of five of us they picked two guys who both said to be they didn't even want to work
I might just give up soon senpaitachi
>>79234615
He could also be living somewhere where there are literally no jobs.
>>79234615

Had a job in melbourne, but can't find anything back in my home town. Resorted to a paper route
>>79234203
an uphill battle with no end
>>79234203
part time poor fag ($17/hour, 20 hours a week), but did have an in-company interview for a promotion to a new, full time position with a raise and benefits. I'll hear back in about two weeks.
Approaching homelessness. Could not get a job as a hot dog man. Welfare not looking good as I am not a shitskin
>>79234203
I keep getting recruiter calls, but they cannot match what I presently make from either remote gig I'm working at the moment. (one full time, 1 contract).
Full time gig pays 55 an hour plus full benefits, 401k, etc. Not bad money out in Arizona. Second gig pays 60-75 an hour depending on the contract. No benefits, but I already have insurance and all that so it works.
Am in holiday presently in Nip land.
>>79234203
Got one after 2 years, now I'm renting a shoebox literally in front of where I work to try and keep it. Shoeboxes are expensive and come with dirty white people who don't clean anything.
>>79234454
Apply to security guard jobs. Many companies will hire anything with a pulse and it's easy money. It's how I got my first job.
>>79234203
Getting a good job is easy if you are good looking.
I'm no where near as qualified as the people around me, but i'm not as ugly as them.
People are shallow and genetically programmed to make decisions on your appearance.
>>79234918
Nigzor, what is your profession?
Working in a restaurant while I pay for my college. Parents make too much money for me to get aid, but they won't pay for college so I have to do it myself. Working 40 h/w while doing classes every semester and taking every intercession is hard, but it'll be worth it later down the line. Oh wait, I forgot millenials are supposed to be lazy and entitled. Uh, GIBE COLLIS PLOS BRENIE 4 PRENSIDNT
Will be out of a job after a few weeks (contract ending). Have not found a replacement job yet.
Fuck
>>79234203
Started work as an actuary/data analyst for a consulting company whose clients are pharmaceutical companies. God damn I never realized how complicated healthcare is. I'm ungodly stressed with how little I know about my job.
At work. Having coffee and apple pie. Do something with your life and become a HVAC bro.
>>79234203
>How's the job hunt going /pol/?
Terrible, just graduated from university and can't get a job anywhere because of the political and economical crisis tearing my country apart.
I'm trying to make it my job to make everyone else's job. So far I've got all the jobs created but no one is hiring because all the work is already done.
>>79234557
Apply now. They won't ask for a reference from your current employer since they think they're stealing you from them
>>79234203
My first job is going to be in a week or so. I'm kind of sad that I can't be a NEET anymore, or at least for a little while, but we're struggling with bills and I would have more money for video games and snacks so I think it's okay. I'd be going out to a gym to clean up around 10:30 at night with my mommy. She says I can earn like $1000 a month which sounds crazy, I've never had that much money at one time in my life
>>79234203
I'm a tax intern for the summer. $22/hour. I'm hoping it'll get extended for the fall while I go back to get my master's in tax, but I'm not holding my breath. I really do hope so, though. I could start paying off loans.

>>79234203
oh ha ha I just finished my job searches decide to go on to /pol/ and this comes up
Pretty bad man, left my shithole administrative job and hit the market. Firs tplace that called me back was a call center and I'm not about that.
I have half a decade experience in various offices, a BA, and a good amount of extracurricular experience but I don't get many call backs at all.
And when I do it's for like$9-10 an hour.
>>79234918
Nigzor, what is your profession?
New vidya store opened nearby that's hiring. Took in my resume today and I think I made a good impression. Hopefully I'll get a call tomorrow.

What is this image representing? A NEET that stays up until dawn because they have nowhere to be or is it just a comfy pic of after the sun goes down?
>>79234203
Just paid $190 for polishing my resume. Apparently it's too big and doesn't look managerial enough
Working for one of the major insurance companies in the country. Way underqualified, no college, no high school. Sent out tons of fake applications. Good looking, charismatic white guy, interview well and get hired on the spot. Fellow white guy, older hires me.
Fake it til you make it guys

>got a clerk job with a judge thats about 50 grand a year

>tfw no rich ancestor or distant relative to just give me money

>>79235499
i spend literally 1 hour a day shitting. lol
>>79235352
unfortunately I got to go today to sign on I am really starting to feel like I should just do some unpaid work experience so employers don't just ignore my cv
>>79234984
this is true. no one wants to hire a fat fuck because you only get fat by being lazy and stupid

Keep your head up mate, after two years your good and it can only get better
>>79235608
They still do, enjoy the endless cycle of "maybe we will hire you after to complete this unpaid work for us that the government is making you do and paying you way less than minimum wage" fun house that is the job centre
>>79235665
all you need is a charismatic personality desu anon, no one gives af if they hire a fat fuck
>>79234203
Employed full time for the last six months. Pay isn't great but the responsibilities of the job are minimal. Just show up on time, be safe make quality work.
>>79234454
Look for nightshift warehouse and factory work.
>>79234203
Joke's on you, I've had the same job for the past 4 years.
>>79235499
I don't know what it is exactly but it's some kind of gym cleaning job. My mom got her job there and then the lady there told her to bring me in for a job too, so now I have to go. I had to hold it in all the time in Highschool because I was too scared to do it in the bathrooms there and it was the worst, I hope it's not like that again.
>>79234203
The Jobs dont get me. I am on the run for over 2 years now. Never getting tired.
>>79234203
Have one.
>>79235489
It doesn't work like this in Murica. You need to brag a lot with fancy words and use specific key words in specific places to pass trough HR scanning processes. They key here is to get your resume trough the dumb HR bitch to the actual manager/director who can actually read it and look for specific skills they need.

>>79234203
Pretty fucking easy.
I signed up For a Temporary agency, you know the people who's sole job is to

It only took a fucking week.
Stop being a piece of shit and find a local tempo agency.
Faggots.
>>79234454
You must be really, really ugly or unwashed or something. I see cretins that barely count as "people" with 75 IQ working at all those jobs you mentioned and providing almost no service.
Try getting on at Cricket Wireless since they are massively expanding their bases and hiring the worst of the worst degenerates. If you can't get a job there you must be intentionally bombing your interviews or scribbling porn in the application margins.
>>79236135
I went through like 9 interviews before I found a job
I never got turned down for an interview either

Okay I'll remember that if I ever have another interview or see someone face to face and not on an online application.
>>79234203
Interview on Friday with a friend who wants to hire me because she's sick of high schoolers slacking off. 10 years of unemployment will end because I finally know the right person at the right time. Nothing matters, it's all chance.
>>79236674
Not that anon, but basically take some classes in digital forensics, ethical hacking (or some personal gray hat), learn everything else on your own basically and know what you're talking about.

My undergraduate internship received funding to continue as full-time position for a full year. Going to do that to sort out my financial issues and then apply to graduate school. It's a lab technician job, so the pay's kinda shitty, but I think I'll be able to buy a new car and have a cushion for a phd student stipend by the end of it.

>>79236699
I wish my man. I've been unemployed/underemployed for 14 months. I've been working various things trying to get more experience on my resume in the field. I think the worst thing it's done to me as a person is that it's made me hate niggers spics and women because they just waltz into a process engineering job that I'm much better qualified for.
ayo hol up u be sayen they be benefit packages an shit
What do you do when you get to age 25 and you've never had a job?
There's so much social bullshit here and you're required to make conversation with everyone and their dog or they'll get offended, can't just do your work, have to interact with all the other employees.
I'm autismal I can't deal with this shit.
Starting a new job tomorrow night at a factory on the production line.
I'm completely new to this work though, so I'm not exactly sure what I'm in for.

Go to squat parties, try to pretend the liberals don't annoy you and wear protection.
>>79234203
Not even trying to find one, I don't believe they want me and I don't want to be productive. NEET life is too good when you can only find minimum wage jobs at best.
At work now, literally shitposting on 4chan while pooing in loo

Y u do dis to yourself?
>>79237074
Oh yeah and I can't drive either.
JUST
>>79237160
I know that feel. How the fuck could I deal with normies all day long? No friends, no social media, never go out. Even if I got a job they'd mock me all the time. Fuck that. An hero when?

Don't some countries over there literally give you money if you're diagnosed with autism?

>>79234203
I've thought about considering thinking about potentially deciding if I should maybe look online to see if there might be any jobs to which my skills would be applicable or that may potentially hire me but as of yet have come to no particular decision regarding the matter.

2nd week of first job, ever. Overnight amazon warehouse employee.
>>79237087
Because that's literally what employers are told to do.
Tax breaks for hiring women and so called minorities. Former felons are also desired (tax breaks)
>>79234704
Me. Right here. Live in crowded part of my county in California. Pretty girls, ugly girls, any girls, literally Only girls Are who I see working anything like retail or waitress or cashier jobs. I think I know why. I went to a group interview. Told the manager I plan on furthering my education and am also in summer school. All the other girls aren't taking classes and they sounded/acted like bubbleheads. I fucked up and acted too professional. No emotion, just carried myself like business professional and thought my merit and experience would help. Never got a call back. I guess I have to lie now and say I'm full on retarded and don't plan on doing anything with my life except being a retail slave in order to get a job
>>79237313
>implying I haven't thought about it for ages
>>79234203
Got an interview for a sales job I don't really want lined up for tomorrow.
Got my LSAT score yesterday, good enough to go to law school next year, retaking it anyway cause I did much better on my practice tests
>>79235499
I work 12 hour shifts regularly and my shits have become like clockwork around non busy times, I've even noticed it on my days off ill shit a half hour before lunch rush then half hour after dinner rush.
>>79236621
No it's not, fuck off.
>>79234454
You need to wait a week to call back senpai, not a day.
>>79234203
I have a good trades job for the City, so higher wage, benefits, pension etc.
Tonight I applied to two new positions within the internal postings hoping to move myself further up the ladder.
Got a retail job 6 months ago and everything was great. Now it's winter they've moved me to another park and i've gone from 1 boss and 1 roster to fucking 9 bosses and 6 different rosters, i've missed two shifts and once turned up when i wasn't rostered because their roster app isn't synced with their paper rosters and their paper rosters on site are different from the paper rosters in the office, so i'm getting blamed for missing shifts when i can't find the right fucking roster.
The worst part is, i love the job, but i feel like i'm gonna lose it, or get fewer rostered shifts, and missing shifts is apparently 'permanently marked' on my information sheet in the offices.
It's maddening.
>>79237373
I understand why they do it. It doesn't make me hate them any less for it. One of the real kicks in the head is that for any "entry level" chemical engineering job, they want 3-5 years of experience. It's a catch-22. I'm at my wits end with it.

Isn't it the worst when the thought hits you before you get out of bed in the morning? I suggest getting off the computer, as condecending as that may initially sound. My hd started dying about 3 weeks ago so it's been out of commission since, and in that time I've outlined a story idea I've had in my head for years as well as gone through 99% of my things to sort a donation pile.
I've used 4chan once a day at most, just to see if there was a happening before getting back to productivity. I don't even want to fix my pc now.

>Now it's winter
No its not. Its just that your summer is retarded.
>>79237267
> I know that feel. How the fuck could I deal with normies all day long
If it's any consolation many office jobs are extremely antisocial. I just sit in an enclosed cubicle with a computer for 9 1/2 hours a day, don't talk to anyone, and alternate between makework and 4chan. It's almost no different to being at home as a NEET, except you get paid.
>>79236621
I must not im afraid.
I went to one of the top 10 universities of latin america, paid for by the government using taxpayers money...
As a part of the 10% of the population that had the opportunity to go to college, and even more so because it is a good one, it is my duty to stay and use my skills to help improve my country that has given me such an opportunity.
If I left I would be abandoning my fellow compatriots.
Also, I would not be welcomed there by most of your population, like this guy>>79237528
All in all, im better off at my own shitty clay than in some foreign clay whose population don't want me there.
>>79237794
>Forex
I don't think he can, I think minimum purchase is 1000 units at a time. He would have to work to be able to Forex.
>>79237613
I want to say it's not a requirement, but in actuality, it is literally the best thing you could have under your belt for this line of work. It would basically increase your chances of being considered 10fold.
That's why I said practice some gray hat stuff, stuff that may be illegal technically, but non malicious. Frame it in a way that sounds legal of course. Black hat shit will just get you black listed and nobody is going to want you except the government under close supervision and scrutiny.
If you haven't already, install linux, know it, understand it, then know and understand windows beyond the basic user interface. Understand all the shit that lies beneath the hood (believe me, Windows is convoluted and complicated as fuck and it's good to know your way around).
Educate yourself on the three core IT principles, Hardware, Software and Networking. Study all of them and studying Security is so much easier than if you were to just jump right in.
>>79234203
Was recently hired after being a NEET for 2 years.
Full time as well. It was a really big step forward for me, but it was extremely stressful due to mental/physical problems. I've gotten my bearings though.
>>79237025
Thanks senpai, but I'm basically riding my PI's coattails.
>>79237771
Yeah it hits me often in the morning. No idea how I get through the days. I've tried to spend less time online and go out walking but I feel lost without it, no ambition or motivation at this point.
>>79237533
So since I'm at the two week mark, now what?
>>79237587
I had a food processing job where the females all sat in the office on kike book gossiping, while all the guys broke their backs out on floor like good slaves.
One of the cunts even clocked out early for a yoga class. She was only then fired. Women in the work place can literally do no wrong.
>>79234203

>>79237728

Place I used to work at called me back today.
I don't want to go back, but I'm running low on money after NEETing it up for 4 years.
>>79238150
Both are okay.

I can't leave my confinement just yet until Trump is elected. Otherwise my Meme Magic might wear off.
>>79238124
Half of me wants to fix this country, the other half of me hopes it burns to the ground. The only consolation I have is that I'm a fitfag and can actually get pussy. A lot of my friends have good jobs but can't pound a kitty to save their life. Everyone wants what they can't have, ya know?
The other odd thing is that whenever I interview, then I ask for feedback, it's nothing but positive. They actually write me a 3-4 paragraph email asking if they can consider me for future jobs that might open. It's killing me inside

Isn't cyber security mostly a bullshit job where you check off compliance checkboxes?
All the real money is made by being on the offensive side, the defensive side is always three steps behind, get paid shit and more than half of the people there don't even know what they're doing.
>>79238328
They still keep your contact on the books after 4 years? I thought that was against data protection or something?
>>79238015
Maybe I'm just feeling positive because I've been sorting my possessions and storing things that mean something to me, and getting everything squared away feels satisfying, even if one of the thoughts lingering behind it is "now it'll be easy to sort your things postmortem". Still, my first interview s Friday and the hirer is someone I've hung out with who already decided on me and just needs a formal sit down before starting.
Smash your pc, or put it somewhere you can't use it. After a little time, you'll look for something to do and find satisfaction in the accomplishment.
>>79234203
Been doing this for 4 years with 2 different companies. Nice and quiet with no boss looking over your shoulder. Make good money too.

>>79237971
based. what would be a good starting linux build (shitty terminology?) and what beginning hacking guide would you suggest?
>>79237971
this.
also read phrack magazine, and ensure you understand everything by the end of that task. look up information as you go along. none of it will be directly useful today, but it will give you a foundation of knowledge that will extend to the field.
next read the last 12 months of bugtraq, and starting reviewing current trends. all of this will take you a long time to fully digest (probably a year if you're ambitious).
also, learn about reverse engineering - get to the point where you can write your own keygen in assembler after unpacking a foreign binary yourself. this will take you another few months.
in 2 years, you will be a god.
good luck
Sometimes I dream of marrying (lol) into a rich family and living the NEET life forever.
>>79238480
Because ultimately it's not your objective to just go to summer classes.
>>79238506
Nah, I reapplied.
Actually been over a month since then and I finally got the call today.
>>79234454
>Had an interview with a gas station. No call back.
>Tried a tea place, factory, kmart, walmart, marcs, internships, best buy, time warner, huntington bank, janitor at planet fitness, petsmart stocker, dock worker, dollar store, staples, and no call back.
>How long would it take to go to a trade school and get a job as a plumber or electrician or something?
If you cannot get a job at any of the above, I doubt you could complete any kind of trade school. YOu're just a hopeless case, and should an hero.
>>79234592
Just learn how to take the training seriously, and don't let the power get to you. Try to build a repertoire but be fair and without fault. If they sense weakness in you, they WILL take advantage of it.
>>79237261
Early starts are way better than late shifts.
>Start early
>home early
>can do whatever after that
>Start late
>Home late
>straight to bed after work
>that sucks
>>79234203
I've been at the same job for 12 years. My wife, who just recently graduated from college just landed a job in her field (marketing) and has other job offers at least once a week.
>>79234203
>>79234203
Muh company fucked me at worst time.
>Get a pay cut and then laid off in early June
>Summer holds very important dates in my family
>Father's Day
>Dad's birthday
>brother's birthday
>girlfriend's birthday
>yearly roadtrip to Niagra falls with my boys
>fucking school bill I can't pay off so I can register for next semester.
>fucking rent
>fucking bills in general
Should have never became a Graphic Designer.
Kill yourselves before you leave High School, kids. I regret everyday that I didn't have the strength to pull the trigger.
I'm in college and I am really getting down because I cannot find a job that's not in fucking retail. I am seeing if I can be the mail room dude in a local law firm but I'm not holding out hope.
>>79237190
8 hours of repetitive work. What else. Also your back will hurt like hell for the first week.
>>79238525
do you go to trade school?
>>79238699
I've worked pretty much every shift including one starting at 4 am and I liked shifts that start in the afternoon and end around midnight the best.
Guess it just suits my natural sleep schedule better.
When I got off work I'd usually stay up till like 3 to 4 in the morning.
>>79238500
No not at all.
Granted the offensive side (or red team as it's called) is in fact more fun than the defensive side (blue team), but that in no way diminishes the actual amount of knowledge and work that goes into cyber security.
You have to know your environments just as well if not better than your adversaries, you have to take many preemptive measures and implement many solutions to get a functional cyber ecosystem going.
It is not easy, and it is not an industry where they just hire chumps. Those jobs pay damn good money for a reason, because they are literally being tasked with defending their entire business, and just about every single business worth a damn these days operates somehow through the net.
It's a very organized procedure, and you might want to look into what's called "incident response". Basically the cleanup and forensics aspect. Not an easy task.
>>79238797
what's your major? are you taking advantage of the job/career fairs in the area? if not, suck it up and go shake some hands.
>>79238850
A state school which offers a 4 year Construction Management program.
Think of construction management as the application of engineering design, or if engineering and business had a baby.
>>79238671
I've been thinking about it. Just need a way to avoid leaving a corpse.
>>79238839
Well as long as I can do the job, also the shift is 12 hours lel. I guess I will have to say goodbye to my back.
>>79238638
So profound and oddly concise.
I want to go to one of the best law schools in the country. But I can't find a job. I feel like it's fucking holding me back. I don't even tell these managers at interviews that I'm just gonna fuck off after a couple years if they employ me cause I'm furthering my education. I need to have a lengthy resume when I apply for law school that states I wasn't just some NEET who thought his good grades could get him into their campus. Not having a job or work or internship is really fucking my shit up.
>>79238922
my major is Computer Science and I have tried but 90% of the fags there always told me "well are you almost done?" and I would tell them no and basically I am fucked. The only consolation is I found a way to make the Feds pay for my schooling otherwise this would be out of hand,
>>79238868
So the trend is that companies are forced to spend more money on the never ending arms race that is cyber security due to how tech is becoming so pervasive.
But why do white hat work for a measly 5-6 digit salary when you could be creative and write intrusive tools for governments and military or break into fortune 500 company to get non-public info to sell to hedge funds?
>>79238315
This is how people used to find work, I've been invited to work by random strangers after shooting the shit with them, granted they were jobs in construction like iron working and operating machinery. I'm not outgoing, so it's not charm either.
>>79238771
I have though about killing myself every day for the past 10 years. There is literally nothing I want to do, nothing I want to see, nothing I want to be, in life. Everything is meaningless to me. I'm just waiting to die.
>>79234203
The only way I can get a Job is under the Tables. Fuck my life
>>79239300
>90% of the fags there always told me "well are you almost done?"
Well, you shouldn't really be there unless you're a junior (intern) or senior (college hire program). If you're a sophomore or frosh, their reaction is not surprising.
>>79238970
Can you join the military?
so during your interview, how many of you guys gave them a firm handshake and looked them in the eyes?
>>79239344
The industry (construction) is 90% shooting shit. If you can talk shit with the mexicans and the whites, while shooting shit with the big boss (superintendents), you'll be ok.
>>79239052
I don't work in the legal industry so I don't really know the ropes of that world. Getting your foot in the door is always the hardest part of a career/job,
I've usually found that for most jobs if you move to a place that has a demand they will ease off on selection criteria.
>>79239300
Get an internship, make a portfolio, contribute to open source or do a hobby project.
Doing any one of these things will feed into the others.
>>79239545
Me, ive been complimented on my firm handshake but i can't keep eye contact so i just stare at the wall behind their eyes, makes people uncomfortable
>>79238567
Haha, ok first off, don't ever ask for a "hacking guide" or anything like that in person by a professional. You will be laughed at so hard you'll regret it.
Colloquially speaking, just about everybody refers to as making a computer or other electronic system do something as it wasn't intended to as "hacking", although the actual proper term would be "cracking", which is the malicious side of making computers and electronic systems do something they weren't designed to do, and hacking being the ethical, playful side. Throughout the years however, the blanket term "hacker" has evolved to just mean gaining access where you aren't supposed to.
In actuality, in the actual industry, Hackers are merely people who exploit any given functions of a program or piece of equipment and makes it do something other than it was intended to by its creators. This would include bypassing security.
Don't ever fall into the trap misconception of the portrayal of "hackers" by the media and hollywood. In real life, "hacking" takes quite a while and is more time spent looking at lines and lines of code and trying millions to billions of different passwords and waiting and hoping for a match.
If I were to sum up how to get into the hacking scene, I would merely tell you to get good and just literally learn as much as you can about everything.
There is no magical guide that tells you how to "hack". The true hackers know how to hack because they know what they are hacking. How do you expect to hack Windows if you know nothing about it? Do you know anything about the registry, event logs, system services, the strengths and weaknesses of each of these components?
The best way to learn how to hack is simply to know what you're using. That's it.
As far as a GNU/Linux distribution goes, if you've never used one before, nothing wrong with Ubuntu or Linux Mint, but eventually move on to a more difficult distro like Arch, or Gentoo.
Lurk /g/ if you don't already.
>>79239417
Nihilist memes are keeping suicide at bay right now though.
>>79239545
I always say "I don't like shaking hands, that's how germs are spread."
>>79239617
>>79239484
the thing is I don't even care if I get a decent paying job right now I just want to not work at a retail store.
>>79239417
You'll make it brah
>>79239583
I was fortunate enough to be born in to a family that was bantz 24/7. Some of the local spergs probably wouldn't fit in quite right because of this.
>>79239761
I hope you at least don't tip your fedora at the same time
>>79239417
I know that feel man. I think even if I ever had sex/a gf I'd be hopeless. I remember back in school, when they asked us what we wanted to do for careers, I had no clue.
>>79239545
I can't even look my parents in the eyes any more anon....
>>79239625
That's a classic sign of Autism.
>>79239417
Try alcoholism. It might sound like I'm shitting you, but the party never ends
>>79238970
>Just need a way to avoid leaving a corpse.
If you are so bad off that you can't even get a job at Walmart, then you just need to do it now, before the size of your corpse becomes the bigger problem.
>>79234203
My 1 year anniversary just passed on the 22nd.
1 year of full time unemployment.
Haven't seen that since 2008-9.
>>79239340
In a sentence, because it must be done.
Contrary to pessimist beliefs, people do do thing because they feel it's the right thing to do, regardless of the cost. There's nothing wrong with that. For some people, it's not about the money, but the progress. For others, it's all about the money.
For the latter group of people, they wisen up and do in fact sell their skills to the highest bidder, going down to the black market while they're at it.
>>79239625
I can't look at anyone in the face. It's too much of a struggle for me. Very intimidating
>>79239545
Every time but I still exude 'sleazy and untrustworthy'
>>79239866
This sounds quite serious almost as if you are not joking
>>79234203
I went from being a paramedic to working in wealth management at a bank. Best decision i ever made.
>>79240153
>he thinks there aren't multiple people ITT that will die by suicide within the next five years
lol
>>79234984
desu senpai most fat ugly people are also stupid.
Good looks or at least average looks is a sign of decent genetics. People that look retarded usually are.
>>79239753
i pretty much run on 100 percent memes right now dont know y im still here
>>79234203
Had an interview at an accounting firm today. It went pretty good.
>>79240057
I would say talk to your doctor but even i'm to chicken shit to ask my doctor for anti-anxiety meds, and here it's all free too
>>79234203
This image hurts my soul, I didn't choose this life.
>>79240274
That guy genuinely seemed descriptive enough to be believable.
>>79234203
My jobs have been up and down. Used to work for a major phone company here inside a shopping centre, then I left that, now I'm a cleaner, a certified personal trainer, and a security guard on the weekends. I might take up my PT role, not really sure yet. My current job offers good hours/pay. If I can find a PT job with the same hours/pay, or better, then hell yeah. Do I regret my decision leaving? Not really, I was over it. Sometimes you have to take a step back to get somewhere. I'm trying to work my way into airport security since the cleaner/security jobs are owned by the same company.
For those wondering why I went from being a retail person to a cleaner, well, I tried to apply for other retail jobs, but I was denied for some reason, so I stopped trying and took a step back. For those that are struggling, just try and get something, don't have the CEO 10k/day attitude, it's dangerous, and it might ruin your working life. Work your way up, even if its a job at the bottom of the barrel. And for those that seem to get turned down by jobs such as cleaning etc, you might want to take a look in the mirror, the way you are/look/dress might be telling you something.
Keep your head up, fà ms.

If you can't get ANY job in the last 2-years there's something wrong with you. The US economy is the strongest is has been since pre-2001. $9-$12 hour jobs right now are a drop in the bucket.
>>79234203
>Work at grocery store
>One of four people in my department
>They can't fire me because the others would have to work every single day of the week and fucking nobody wants to work in my department
feels good man
>>79240358
Do you have an accounting degree? I'm tired of being rejected by retail and fast food places, so I'm gonna bite the bullet, step over that whole process of starting at the very bottom and just apply for internships/positions at all the local law firms
>>79234203
Just started a new job this week. $18.50 an hour doing tech support for a niche software company. I live in Austin, Texas.
how to get a job when 26 and no work XP?
My town has been flooded with illegals too.
>been sending applications for 3 months
>every job, including dish washers, requires 2 years of experience
Someone end my misery
Just starting. My lupus is making it almost impossible for me to get a full day of work in at my construction job and I'm going to have to quit due to 4 ER trips in the past 5 weeks. Have to find a good indoor job and my cousin can get me a good job.
>>79238622
h-how do i do this anons?
>>79234960
Is 5'8 tall enough to apply to these kind of jobs?
>>79234203
I'm considering suicide and the only thing stopping me is I don't want to upset my family.
So not very well.
>>79235846
You had to pay $190 to figure that out?
>>79240153
I'm not. I hate myself.
>>79240556
That's because he probably will kill himself.
You're very sheltered.
Fell for the back to school to change careers meme after a layoff. School is going great, straight A's, in the combined internship program, but I can't get an entry level job in my field whereas everyone else seems to get them just fine. I'm thinking of just killing myself before this last year of school starts to avoid the inevitable failure after graduation. Who the fuck was I kidding?
>>79234203
Interview tomorrow, 16:00.
Applications in processing for a couple of security gigs, armored transport, and public works in my city but the rest is mainly retail
Probably going to join the army after i finish my degree.
I don't get how people can not get jobs.
It's real easy.
I got a thorn in my ass about 2 weeks ago because sick of being a poorfag, so I've been applying since.
If you want work you'll get a job. If you don't you won't.
>>79235539
You're on the right track bro. Pretty much every industry these days view straight-out-of-college kids as absolute shit tier workers, which is mostly true. Anyone with any experience actually working a real job has a huge advantage.
>>79240825
Get a gun, shoot it next to your ear, then reevaluate your life.
>>79240849
No. I paid $190 to professionals who will rewrite my resume to make it pass trough the HR
>>79237868
True fucking story. Samesies.
>>79240012
I meant full time employment.
>>79240856
I wouldn't consider myself sheltered ( I might be I just don't know anymore ).
What do you actually mean by sheltered?
Sheltered from the struggles of a modern jobless/hopeless world or sheltered from society in general?
>>79235857
Tfw 155k.
Tfw 90-ish after taxes.
Tfw 30k rent.
>>79239896
This, all you sad niggers should give alcohol a chance, it keeps me and many other failures alive and smiling
>>79240889
Graduate and tell us your story of how school is one gigantic meme.
>>79240668
It's a social media/marketing job for the place. Basically, you just need to sell yourself for the position. I've only worked as a busboy and customer service, but you can spin anything into professional experience. Also, most firms will be willing to foot the bill for grad school if you're not a fuckwit.
>>79234203
Unemployed for a year.
Started getting interviews this week after a month of no call backs.
Had an interview on Tuesday and have one tomorrow morning for two small businesses.
I suck at interviews and advice hasn't helped
I've never had to work in my entire life and I'm not planning on doing so any time soon. So long as I can collect autism bucks I will, because the alternative sounds like a nightmare to me.
If I could change I would, but I don't know how.
>>79240909
>Its real easy
Not if you are complete shit at interviews.
>>79241289
Here's some advice that won't help:
Better to be overconfident than to lack confidence.
>>79241179
feels good being middle class huh?
:^)
>>79240747
Lie.
Say you worked for a company called "Crossmark". You were a "retail merchandiser". Your duties were:
>Maintained 100 percent authorized distribution of all required products in assigned area
>Cut-In and introduced new items
>Maintained store shelf standards and inventory
>Rotation of new products
>Supplied and placed point of sale materials
>Implemented shelf plan-o-grams
>Communicated effectively with store personal
>Lifted up to 50lbs occasionally
If they ask you to break it down what that means, tell them you worked with a team that your buddy got you involved with. You worked various grocery stores around where you live. He was the team leader and would give you a call and say that you were working a specific store this morning, and all you would do is go in and move products around. You would resize the shelves and move pickles over here, and paper towels over there. Have them call your buddy as the supervisor (they won't) and tell them he ran everything. All you had to do was show up and make easy money. But you're quitting because it's not enough hours, only four days a week.
It works, and it looks better to have some experience. I use this on my resume from a time I didn't work.
>>79241179
>30k rent.
You must live in Jew York.
>>79240825
>>79240889
Wtf? How old are you two? If under 31 just join the armed services. If over 31 but under 41 join the french foreign legion. Better than just offing yourself like a pussy
>>79241232
Meh. It's a meme for a guy like me.
>>79239866
>>79239417
>>79240825
Ever wished for an "opt out" option? Where you can simply choose to have never existed?
I've considered suicide every day for the last few years (I'm 22) and the only thing that stops me is that I'd upset my family. I'm also the only male descendant in my family, so my name dies with me.
The idea of killing myself and scarring my family for the rest of their lives hurts me more than the fear of death or the need to escape. Without my family I would've done it a long time ago.
I wish every day that I can simply close my eyes and never wake up, or have never existed. Nobody to mourn me, nobody to cry about how they never saw it coming... just an end to this worthless life, allowing everyone else to get on with theirs.
If only...
I have a detailed plan and everything if I ever get the courage to take the risk. It involves the least chance of me being discovered having comitted suicide. I would just go away for a few years, then "stop contact."
>>79235284
How old are you?
>>79234203
Really sad they lied and said an athropology degree would mean businesses would want to hire me because of the analytical and human nature skills it teaches
>>79237449
>group interview
>professionalism
>imblyign dad's suit and drugstore cologne are professional
>you wouldn't have just been an overstepping burden to management

Turning 20 later this year. 40k after tax last year, probably 60-70 pre this year. What do? Wait for somewhere to crash? Buy something rural? Start a business?

It will just end up destroying you. If you're still young, I can understand why you think alcohol is the shit.
LSD > MDMA >>>>>>>>>> alcohol = weed >>> sober wage slave

this is fucking true.

I work at a casino full time, and part time for friends dad (doctor) and my father (lawyer)
Get a stackexchange account and be helpful.
Use the account as your resume, that's what I do.
Then go to weworkremotely.com and look for remote customer support positions to start, don't even need to leave your house.

CRAWLING IN MY SKIN!!!!
I'm on my lunch break desu
>>79238015
Consider religion. I'm not only talking about christianity, but consider even islam. I hate islam, but our life is way more important then that shit.
>>79241599
Yep that's basically exactly me. Right down to being the only male descendant. I love my family but I wish I wasn't such an embarrassing failure. My parents are the only ones keeping my going. I think I'm too cowardly for it though, so I'm doomed to misery. I wish I'd never existed either.
>>79241599
Why are there no jobs that you can just "get" or apply for, like welfare and food stamps?
For all this talk about how many jobs there are available they sure aren't looking to hire anyone soon.
