Just wondering ,how you got your job. Maybe some unemployed goons can use your alternative answers for inspiration!

Sadly I got mine by applying to an advert online.

for real tho if you are unemployed your best bet is a staffing agency. applying to one is like applying to a dozen jobs at once. if you have any skills dont waste your time submitting job apps any other way

No but I do have a government load for my fees, only have to pay it back if I earn heaps.
I get $280 a fortnight and because I moved away from home to study I got $7.5k when I moved. Also get $170 a fortnight towards my rent.

Australian welfare bitch it owns.

Applied for like every pension-having job you can think of after graduating high school; trade union offices, government jobs, basically any job that only required a high school diploma and a clean driver's license, clean piss, and clean rap sheet

Some of them had literal years of waiting lists; took whoever responded to me first; switched if one of the other jobs that were better contacted me like 2 years later

so I guess the answer to the OP is I applied and was hired like 7 years later lol
