Jobsearching

So today I had an interview for a small family owned warehouse doing picking and packing. The woman I spoke to was very friendly, she explained that the roll was fulltime but very quiet with alot of downtime to just hang out there. The work wasn't very difficult and I would be the only one in the warehouse for most of the time. I honestly had never

know EXACTLY how you feel dude...I've been on the job hunt since February and still nothing...

I just have to plod along in this job I hate and deal with the shit until I can get out...it certainly isn't doing anything to my sanity and I got a written warning last week that my performance isn't up to scratch...how can it be when this place is just being fucked over left right and centre...

*sigh* apologies for turning this around...but I know how it feels to have such a positive interview, feedback and the like...and then feel your heart sink to all time lows never experienced before when they say 'you were not successful'.

Ugh, that excuse has gotten far too old and tired lately. I was unemployed for a year before I got my most recent job, and I lost count of all the jobs I was turned down for. Far too many of them called me "Overqualified" or "Not what we're looking for". Usually because they wanted a bunch of teenagers whom only wanted to work 2 days a week for minimum wage.

Hopefully you find something chief!

Overqualified? That's the most pathetic, nonsensical, humiliating excuse you ever came up with. I've been working my arse off at school, learning things nobody gives a fuck about to have an easier time finding a job... and now you are looking for LESS knowledgeable people? You suck, my dear sit!

Yes I've been bounced off a few jobs for being "overqualified" too. That's why I'm tempted to write a new CV saying "I'm completely useless, I can't even find my arse with my own hands. Please give me any job, I need to eat and pay my bills and cable tv".

I'll be employed for the next 3 months, then I'll have to look for something else. I dread the moment. Best of luck love, and if someone says "overqualified" again, kick them in the cunt.

Oh, Drake, I'm so sorry. What could be worse than being told your overqualified? All you can do is keep trawling and please, please don't stop believing in yourself.

Yeah, employees are not just for Xmas

Seriously, anyone will move on if a better job comes along.

Why don't they just go to Endeavour Foundation if they want someone who'l stay forever in a dead-end job.

I know how you feel.
