I hate

job searching...it's one of the most depressing things.

I don't like rejection. I don't like to beg. I don't like the interview process. And I HATE wearing heels.

I need a job...:$

 

I thought everyone loved that

what are you doing begging?! Don't do that unless its a sex game

 

Finding a job and a new apartment are the worst. Last time I was unemployed I had basically quit smoking and by the time I was hired I was smoking a shit load again.

 

I definatly feel I can't be myself at most jobs, and especially in most interviews.

I can't stand the faucade either... least I don't have to wear heels.

 

I used to be that way, i think the key is not to give a fuck AT ALL. Act like you don't need the job, you are interested in finding out what its about and considering it. When they say something that is seemingly a test, like "you will have to deal with this or that you know?" just take it in fucking stride.

Be the part of yourself that fits with the job, only show that part

When you go in there think that you have plenty of money and plenty of options, let that be your mantra, act interested, but NEVER desperate

 

I know...I dressed up to go to an interview today and what did it get me? Nothing.

I mean, I don't wear heels. I don't dress nice. I was lucky to find a piece of clothing in my closet that wasn't stained or didn't have holes. If I went to an interview looking like myself, I'd be laughed right out of the office. It's hard to be yourself when yourself isn't what most places are looking for. I just need SOMETHING. I will have a REAL job when I graduate from college...I just need someone to pay me to do SOMETHING until then.

 

at the moment i am trying to do both at the same time, from 5000 miles away from where i am looking. it truly sux ass.

 

you moving over here to the us of fucking a?!

 

You can have my job.

 

yep. after a month away i'm fixing to come back, except i found i don't have a place to stay anymore nor a job. i do have a cool hookup on a bunch of amsterdam and european merchandise tho, altho i am half torn between spending the cash on a deposit, or buying the merchandise and sleeping rough till it all sells.

Anyone see my desperate ads begging for a roommate in austin in the personals thread and want to give me a hook-up?????? C'mon perdy please, i'll love ya 4 ever. with a cherry on top.....

 

austin?!

nope, i don't pay attention to Texas, doesn't exist

 

texas is much maligned, but i found there is a kinda san fran vibe in austin.

 

I hear Austins alright, never been there, i only like a couple of cities in the US for living

 

which cities do you like?

 

You would say that's a good thing, right?

 

I've only looked for a job twice in my life. I never found one. Now I don't look for jobs. I just wait for something to fall into my lap. Has worked every time.

 

If i were to move from England, i would only go to NYC or San Francisco

there are some other decent ones, but those are the big two in my opinion for big cities

Some others people like are Portland, Oregon, Boston (never been), Chicago (its pretty cool)

Keep in mind, i've only actually lived in Ohio, Seattle, and los Angeles

Los Angeles was weird and kind of fun, but did not want to say

seattle is kind of lame, i hate the people there, bunch of no fun pussy
flakes who think its so great there,

Columbus Ohio, you don't move there, but there are lots of great people there and lots of drinking and music, but like i said you simply don't move there

Personally, i would only move to ny at this point, but I'm jaded

 

i loved living in the city before, maybe it was the whole english accent thing but everyone was really welcoming. there can be a bit of shite from certain types of people there, but in the end you get that everywhere.

 

Where did you live in LA?

 

NY always appealed to me but it seems kinda pricey.
