Job hunting is so annoying. Everything is online now. No one wants to take a paper resume or application. My Dad and his wife don't give me much slack either and are like "Back in my day I just got one, keep calling your not trying hard enough, blah blah blah." Meh, Here is a fun fact, I tried to certain electronics store I'm not gonna mention that has a yellow and blue color scheme. I was gonna be that guy who gets the name of the hiring manager and talk to them so they would know who I am! Instead I go up to customer service and asked if they were there. They said no. Ok I was like I'll do it later! Who is the hiring manager We aren't allowed to disclose that. (Da #@%!?[I didn't say that but i was thinking it!]). Fine, Fine, No its fine. So then I asked ok when can I come in to meet this person whom I don't know and can't learn. We aren't allowed to give out our employees hours... So ya most successful encounter ever! NOT.
Another stupid thing are all these news reports about how the economy is improving and we are on the uptick. If there is one thing I have learned about politics is I should only care about the stuff I see. So when I hear in today's article: The February jobs report released Friday showed the economy added 236,000 jobs, bringing the unemployment rate to 7.7 percent from 7.9 percent the month before.
I do some math because I am bored 236,000 jobs divided equally to the US (50) is 4,720. In Georgia where I live is approx. 59,425 square miles so divide the jobs among Georgia and you
will find 0.08th of a job per a square mile which at means about every 13 miles 1 job has been created assuming my math is right. What does this mean? it means its depressing and I don't see it haha. I see my local mall slowly dying, the starbucks, disney store and other big name
shops closed out of it. Seriously Starbucks? How does that even go out of business!
And assuming your foolish enough to try to start a career that is not a retail giant its truly dreadful. You have all these sites like Snagajob where one wrong click and your phone number gets put on 1,000 different call list. Thus far today I had 4 people form 4 different call centers call me asking me if i want to further my college. I feel like the grumpy cat. I am like NO!
I think the proper way to some all is up is just a big fat MEH. I hope you all the best of luck in the big hunt!
/end rant
And as a disclosure No whining or complaining about my rants. If you do not wish to hear me whine or complain then don't read this.
Common sense, Pass it on!
Thanks!
