Unemployable

[Dhimmi]

Eleven CDs? Who on earth has time to listen to eleven CDs?

Folk on the dole for 18 months...

 

[Firky]

You know once upon a time only three years ago I boasted that every job I ever went for I got and now... I can't even muster the strength to bother trying. I'm nearly thirty and am in so much debt that a pension or anything is out of the question.

I don't normally get pissed at failed job interviews but this one bothered me as I really wanted it and I could have done it standing on my head - only I find it hard to articulate myself in interviews. Anyone who knows me will know that I am a bundle of nerves until it passes. I never used to be, something changed inside me that made me unsure of myself. I used to be so confident that I was probably cocky now I can't even look at myself in the mirror with out feeling contempt.

Feel shit

That has stunned me. We don't know each other on here but when I see your name on a thread I always have a look to see what you've said because it's always funny or interesting. To hear you feel like that is amazing to me.

I bet it's just interview technique you are having trouble with. It's not your CV, otherwise you wouldn't get an interview in the first place

I would insist on feedback and work on that for the next interview - not going to try give some shit eating encouragement/advice so going to shut up but do get help on IV technique because I'm sure thats all it is.

 

[Firky]

Thank you

*warm fuzzy feeling inside*

Turned down for another job that I had to do a 700 mile round trip for the interview. I don't know why I f'ing bother - nearly 18 months I have been unemployed now.

You should be glad you didn't get it.

That's a killer of a commute.

 

[chainsaw cat]

Yes!

I am not working for the public sector ever again.

So sell your soul,

work for charity

or live on the dole.

e t a or marry money

Here, firks, have some brackets.

(((((firky)))))

Really sorry that you have had a set back, but don't give up. Now seems to be the time for people to get new jobs, judging from some other threads on these boards.

I have been doing careers counselling for many years, and to different groups of people. If you want me to look at your cv, I would be happy to. If you do, PM me, and I will give you an email address where you can send it.

It's also good idea to ask for feedback as to why you didn't get the job, although I know it is difficult to ask that question...

 

[JTG]

firks, very quickly - don't let the Glastonbury comedown get to ya mate.

I know there's wider issues than that to deal with but try and deal with them without the massive serotonin depletion yeah?

That's me out then.

Hope something comes up soon Firky.
