"You don't have child! You look after your mother!"

"Jek. You want boy flend?"

I read that with the accent of an Asian mother.
|

15:37:57

Jake, you want a boy friend

Male or female, it's up the poop chute at 8 bells
|
|
|
15:36:48
|
|
|
And yeah, they take it up the pooper a lot
|
|
|
15:36:09

Mostly they deal with sailors on drug charges in real life
|

I think this has made me biased towards the navy.

Think NCIS has made me biased towards the navy.

I once mistook the drowsy eye alcohol warning for a winking eye alcohol suggestion.

Seriously though, my cousin gets paid pretty damn well considering she's in uni, for whatever she does...
|

I'm just not a fan of pathology, or microbiology either.
|
|
|
15:31:48
|
|
|
You just want to write those warning sheets that come with my medications
|
|
|
15:31:21
|
|
|
... for all the good it's doing
|
|
|
15:31:15

My cousin's in the OTC, and gave me the idea of maybe going to work for the armed forces. Though upon investigation, they really mostly want pharmacists, doctors, nurses, and people who do pathology stuff, not my cup of tea.

Sure I'm without longterm employment and already $35 000 in debt, but at least I have a degree

Just use a fake name and email address and don't show your face
|
|
|
15:28:59

You have boobs and this is the internet, you can always make money
|
|

15:28:58

"We'll get you started after Easter."

The moral of this story is that there's always going to be another opportunity. You just have to keep looking. I applied to two different places after that, and one of them hired me. Just don't give up!

Thank God for the UK and their easily-abused university loan system.

I was so pissed when I trained for the grocer.

I have TWO bachelor degrees and I can't get a job using either one of them
|

I did. I went to this park and sat there.

It's incredibly stressful and panicky, I know. I needed money for my bills next year, and I can't really rely on my parents because they're already taking on a huge burden with my tuition.

The ER part is really scary because she is not the coolest person in a crisis and I'm fairly certain she only got the idea because a friend of hers is one

When I left Game Stop, I was in between jobs. I was supposed to be getting a job at a bakery, but that fell through. Honest to god, when I heard that, I started absolutely losing it. I was driving, couldn't even see through my tears.

Careers my sister has had her heart set on since graduating from high school: radiographer, food scientist, nutritionist, vet nurse and now ER nurse
|
|
|
15:26:25
|
|
|
What fucking bullshit that was.
|
|
|
15:26:17
|
|
|
But then her eyes started getting really bad, and then she was unceremoniously fired for daring to take time off so she could have surgery to fix one of them.

Didn't she want to take some jewellery making course at TAFE or something?
|
|
|
15:22:00
|
|
|
Figured I'd do my sister a solid and send her a link to the Angus & Coote listing. She likes messing around with jewellery.

I think we both know that feeling, so it's great to be able to help someone else out.

You two have really lifted me up, I was feeling quite down about it.

I will take everything I can get, Emily.

If you want my resume, I can send that to you as well. My cover letter changes depending on what I'm applying for. I usually rewrite it every time.
|
|
|
15:04:36
|
|
|
Well, I will when Facebook lets me.
|
|
|
15:04:24
|
|

I'll send you my friend's one as well, though his is more kiss-assery than usual because he was applying to this big-multinational corporation, but I think he still managed to get an interview for it...

This is actually incredibly helpful.

Try and sort of pick out key words and phrases from the ad and show that you know how to do those things/have those qualities, since it shows you actually read the thing, you know?

I sent them over Facebook. <3
|
|
|
14:52:23

My greatest asset is a friend of mine who works for them.

If you want, I can send you my CV and covering letter, see if it'll give you any ideas?
|

I'll have to go find my school stuff.
|
|
|
14:47:16
|

I did do... fuck, what was it called... some computer thing in year 12.
|
|
|
14:47:11
|
|
|
I also had a good paragraph of my cover letter talking about building computers and using it as an example that I can motivate myself to learn stuff independently.
|

Talk about anything you did in high school, drama, languages, etc.
|
|
|
14:44:48
|
|

This. Which I could totally do.
|
|
|
14:43:02
|
|
|
What are you trying to apply for?
|
|
|
14:42:36
|
|
|
It's really a lot of not so subtle ass-kissing and trying to make your achievements sound as impressive as possible.
|
|
|
14:42:08
|
|
|
To say nothing of the fact that my resume is empty and sad.
|
|
|
14:40:03

Cover letters are the worst.

I'm actually depressed the game is over. Can't remember being like this with a game. A couple of TV shows, but never a game.

How to sound impressive, but without being self-fellating and desirous for work, but not desperate.

I have to give Infinite a replay at some point. It slogs through around the ten hour mark, but picks right back up again. And when it does, it's beautiful.
