Forums - General Discussion - Have you ever faced unemployment or long term unemployment before?

This thread and constant posts by the OP seem to be waiting on someone to make the fairly obvious suggestion of what to do next given you don't want to do anything with your life.

I would actually love to see you post a copy paste example of an email you (pretended) to send out to a potential employer though, just to get an idea of exactly why HR staff have to read these days. You said you applied for tons of jobs, surely you have a copy of a cover letter/CV laying about? Also would love to know your idea of a dream job, bed tester? Chocolate taster? What would it be? What do you picture yourself setting an alarm to get up at 8am so you can go and be arriving at 9am each day to do and be a productive member of this planet? What's the dream that gets you doing something.... just something.

Hi mentioned in previous posts (the one about women and i think a few pages back here too) that he doesn't send out a cover letter and cv because they are a waste of time.

In this thread he also admitted he just applies cause he needs to to get his welfare payments. With zero effort put into them.

So, does that mean if you do not get a job with any of the top 4 accounting firms then you will do nothing at all.  Exactly what are you declaring.  It really doesn't appear you are looking for change but instead looking for pity.  What exactly are you looking to accomplish.  What is the goal you are setting and the steps you are working on to accomplish those goals.  Are you expecting to be handed a good job or are you serious about working for it.  After reading a bunch of your replies, I am still wondering exactly what you are seeking to do concerning your situation or are you not considering anything.

I am not doing anything. I gave up and have just done nothing with my life. I have no plan, I just drift through life and no motivation and no ambition. In my country you actually have to earn over a certain amount before you have to repay back student loans. I do not want to do cleaning toilets, labouring, factory, farm work, gardening or any job that requires hard physical work.  I do not know what jobs I want to do and interests me. I need to be passionate and enjoy what I am doing or it is not worth it. To be honest I did not really want to work in any accounting firm. I never applied for any graduate jobs because I do not have a passion or interest in accounting. I did not care that I did not find accounting job because it is boring and monotonous and I did not put any effort into my studies. 

and yet you complain when migrants come to Australia and do exactly those jobs....



I have sat on the streets, begging with a sign saying "Homeless! Please spare change"
Maybe selling the Big Issue, homeless paper may be a way to earn some money on the streets.
I have no talent for singing or playing guitar, so busking is not an option.

I looked at jobs online and write them down. No one checks that the jobs were applied for or not. There is no way to check emails were sent or online job applications that get no response. Online applications and emails have  low probability of getting a response. No one really cares if an unemployed person gets a job or not. Tabloid media and government make a big deal out of unemployment but it is smoke and mirror screen and they do not really care about it because it does not impact them.

What is your dream job anyway?

Dream job would be paid to run an online business where I do not need to interact with anyone. I get easily upset and I over react to situations and make a big deal out of small issues. There are businesses online that do just that but I do not know how to make it happen. Most of the online businesses that claim to get rich quick at home are too good to be true and sound like a scam. For most businesses you need start up capital and most businesses cost a lot to run and there is the business risk of losing money. 



In online business you still have to deal with shitty people (I speak from my own experience on Ebay and Etsy lol).

I should have studied theology, so I could become a Catholic Priest and then work my way towards Cardinal. To become Pope of the Catholic Church would be the greatest honour, anyone could aim towards in life. I would love to be worshipped as a God on Earth if I became Pope. Imagine being Pope and all that glory and a God amongst men? There it is my dream job is to become Pope.
