    Default Unemployment

    so yesterday i was really excited to have a job interview, i went from a really dodgy interview a couple of weeks ago with a company called kirby the biggest scamming ****ers out there!. so anyway im looking in the paper and i see delivery driver.. applied had my interview yesterday with a group of 20... half way through the interview i walked out and told him his a ****ing scamming bastard, nutrimax the company was called... not one of the jobs they had going was a delivery driver. so i have walked out with the shits thinking am i ever gonna get another job? im sick of looking and getting these scamming bastards. i apply for over 60 jobs a week and the only ones that call back are the ****ing scamming bastards.

    Had to let off a bit of steem thanks =]

    Sounds like you are full of qualifications if they are the call backs your getting. Re-education perhaps?

    If you're unemployed though surely a job is better than no job?
    Just get a crap job, work there until something comes up that better suits you.

    I know exactly what you mean! I was looking for a part time job whilst at uni a while ago, dominos pizza just down the road were advertising for managers, so applied got called up for an interview. Did the interview, they seemed to like me well enough then the catch, the dirty bastards weren't hiring mangers at all they wanted delivery drivers with the 'idea' of making you a manager after 6-12 months of deliveries. I was just like hmm thanks for wasting my time, delivering pizzas in a blown 355 thats really going to help my bank balance lol

    its easier to get a job if you already have a job.
    it shows you want to work.
    take a shit job and use it as a stepping stone instead of doing nothing till you get what you want.

    LOL. I have done deliveries for domino's and running a 4cyl is a stretch to make money. I would always made myself useful instore so i didnt have to do as many. But if things got nuts i could always just pick a delivery and get out for 30min or so, *sigh* the good old days, best job i ever had, just no real future in it or money.

    OP, if you seriously want a job, go into the army/navy/raaf ect.. Defence are looking for people for almost anything and they will trade qualify you. Seriously worth a look.
