Looking for work

[Coyote]

Out of Weltec, was hoping for a job in Spraypainting cars but the economic downturn has stopped most people from hiring (though I'm still looking). And work and income are forcing me to work at McDonalds or cleaning slobber off old ladies at rest homes.

Anyone know of any job opportunities around that aren't horribly depressing?

Do what you got to do, until you can do what you want to do.

Right. I want to rule everybody with an iron fist. Search up how to make nuclear reactors on google right?

Exactly. In the meantime, do whatever you can to make the $$ to finance your plan to rule everybody with an iron fist.

hey, that's not a very nice thing to say about old ladies at rest homes!! they're often very lucid and lovely people... And the people that work at rest homes are also often lovely, caring and compassionate people. It's only a depressing job if you make it. If its not your thing then say "i dotn want to work in a rest home" nuff said... dont have to put it so horribly.

sorry.

Good. You cant just sit round on your arse hoping. If you are out of work for a while it can make you seem more unemployable than someone who just gets of their butts and knows how to work. If you dont wanna work at the above places and you really can find spray painting work then go get something else. Yourself. Being able to take the initiative can make you more employable too.....

Sorry. It was a bit cruel. However that's what the caregivers had to do for my grandparents...

Thing is the people at Work and Income don't like taking no for an answer. Apparently, my response to refusing to work at McDonalds which was: "I don't think my skills would be best suited to flipping burgers and I'd rather spend a bit more time finding a job that wasn't so depressing" was "just an excuse" and all the dole bludgers around me started picking on me for saying fancy words.

Looking for jobs isn't so bad anymore as I have a bike to ride to and from

Just stopped by Maidstone Panelbeaters to check their situation, and they said they were now fairly interested in bringing in an apprentice now work is picking up. Just need to bring in a C.V. and my course papers from Weltec. I'm updating my C.V. now (temporarily distracted by KB right now) and just called Weltec to see if I'm meant to be getting a certificate and left a message on the answering machine, waiting on them now.

My turn to be cruel. HTFU, get over it. Take the job and start looking for another one. Ive been where you are and what you do now and your attitude to life now could make you in the person you're gonna be in 10 years.

Hop on the ferry and do grape-work in Blenheim - less depressing than Mac D's, and you'll get a tan...on the downside, it's backbreaking and you don't get a uniform with stars on.

That could be alright. I look into it.

Actually, I'm expecting worse.
