8:13 AM I lay in bed with the anxiety of another day weighing heavily on my chest. The desire for a full-time job in a field that I can devote my time and energy to- a desire that so many of us want, but feel deep down that we are either not worthy, no special enough, or just do not have the skills. I drink my tea, even though the milk sometimes gives me mucus, the warmth of the mug is comforting to the chill of the job hunt.
Unemployment is a slow death of everything we as a society desire. People become disillusioned and sluggish, turn to crime, or despair. After a time in such a state people start to become used to not having a job though, and they start to like their time 'on the dole'. Leading to the national annoyance with these people- the news reports on current affairs programs. However as with all social groups there is a subgroup which is struggling to improve their position with a legitimate desire to obtain employment.
Some have fallen upon hard times- been retrenched, made redundant or had to pull out of their own business because of the difficult economic times that we are all involved in. These people are evidently trying to find work, but people still group them with those who are evidently not seeking work. This negative connotation from no necessary fault of their own is only going to hinder these people from obtaining their goal, and will in a way act to the detriment to society.
To help those seeking work contact you local employment agencies or Centrelink office.

I hate beening unemployed.
ReplyDeleteI try my best to find a job. I try to improve myself so i can appel to emloyers, I also find myself constetlly being regected by the area i would give my soul to work for.
ealer this year i have change Employment angences and have been given oppertunetys to experiance the working life. i was happy. but now that time has finshed, and life is back to the way it was before. I try not to give up hope that i will find something. but somedays are better then others...
First off thank you for commenting. I am glad to hear that you have taken an active view on you situation by changing Employment Agencies, it is unfortunate that the job did not last though.
ReplyDeleteBut the experience you have gained from that job should give you at least some new examples to use in your future job interviews. Experience, and knowledge that we have had experiences are core skills that separate us from much of the animal kingdom.
Though it might seem the same as before- it is only similar, because now you know that with effort and an active forsight that you can influence your own destiny, which was better than the passive way you might have left to the Employment agency before hand. Do not give up, every attempt is a slice at the giant tree of job hunting and eventually with determination we should be able to cut through, and see it fall.
I wish you all the best in your future endeavors and hope that this blog might help you.
