Well I could be looking for work but I just bought a PS3. I think we all know what the right choice is :cmon:


Not only this, but I hear from several of these people that the only reason that I haven't found a job is that I'm not going to enough places and just dropping off resumes willy nilly. And now I hear that <10% of jobs posted online are actually filled by online applicants? gently caress :smithicide:

I used to get that bullshit about dropping off resumes in person too. You know what happened when I tried it? Everyone told me they don't take paper resumes. The only people who give that 'in person' advice are parents who still think its the 1970s.

EDIT: But my favorite line was always 'just go somewhere and tell them you'll work for free, then once you've impressed them enough they'll hire you as a full employee.' Why the gently caress would they do that if I already agreed to work for free? Also needing money to actually survive is important but imo the futility of the endeavor outweighs the pointlessness.
