I am the incompetent person that could only get a job if it was handed to them by mummy/daddy works in a small business, trade apprentice or a job through nepotism where mummy/daddy being manager at a company.
Employers/businesses do not want to employ the wrong people and spend more time and money to do the job properly.
Why employ someone with low IQ and mental health issues ahead of a normal person that has no issues?
I have no idea what work I am capable of doing. No car license rules out a lot of jobs like Uber/taxi driver, delivery driver, factory, cleaning and many menial jobs require a driver's license. Not having driver's license makes me unemployable.

Then get a drivers license.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I do not have a LinkedIn profile. A cat pic would be a decent profile pic and get profile views!



O rly?

Economic migrants have been given jobs ahead of local workers for a long time and it has been covered up by the government.
The majority of available jobs are never advertised and are handed to economic migrants that are flown into skilled and unskilled jobs ahead of local job searches. There are many jobs that local workers never had a chance of applying for and will never get because employers bring in cheap foreign workers to take jobs to work for lower wages and help boost companies profit margins. Reducing cost of wages helps boost profit and reducing wages is the best way. From a business view it is great but local workers miss out on jobs. 

Applying for jobs online is a waste of time, because most emails are never read and automated rejection response if you are lucky. Knocking on businesses door and being persistent is probably better way of finding employment than useless online applications or sending useless emails. No one checks emails, automated repose or emails never received. A physical presence, passion and determination is going to be harder to ignore that unless online applications or emails that no one reads or ever responds to.

It is hard work to gain employment in this  country. I would move to any other country in this world and it would be easier getting a job. Australia is the hardest job market in this world to get a job. If you are lucky to have a job in this country it is hard work to keep that job and not get replaced by easy to bring in cheaper foreign worker. You are very lucky to have a job in this country. I hope you do not get replaced by economic migrants that can work harder for cheaper pay rates and they will not join Unions.

Economic migrants also do jobs that local workers do not want to do.

I should have marched into businesses the next day and kept on persisting until I got the job. I held my cool and did nothing and got more depressed and one day I just gave up and just wrote jobs down that I never applied for or look at job ads online and list them down on forms. Not applying for jobs got me the same results of applying for jobs that never stood a chance of ever getting. I never applied for thousands of jobs, I lost count and gave up after a while and became depressed. I will never apply for another job ever again because I do not have a resume, no experience and no skills and too old for the retail/fast food jobs.

I hated those: we will call you rejections. What a joke, they never ever call back. I should have made more noise, showed some passion and determination and fought for what I want in this world. Instead of accepting those not today excuses. I should be asking why not? It is an insult to be overlooked for every job and never given a reason why you never got the job. In my job applications I used to write detailed essays on how I would be the most suitable candidate, addressed the criteria and claim I would do whatever it takes to make the business more profitable and working hard to be the best employee for the company. A job applicant with a rubbish resume or no resume, family or friend of employer/manager got the job every time instead of me, clearly proved it was who you know, not what you know got the job.
