The "Being Unemployed Sucks" Thread

[arjue]

I'd just like to point out, you are not unemployed unless you are actively looking for work. Not having a job <> unemployed

Oh well.

I've been unemployed for like 2 years now. Apparently there's not a whole lot of unfilled openings for inexperienced 3D modellers. Go figure.

I'm so sick of sitting at home all day. I've done nothing but play WoW for the last 3 months. I really need to get out.

Hopefully, though, I'll be a tester at EA soon. Interview's in 2 weeks. Wish me luck.

Just curious, but are you gunning to be anything like an actuary or what? Your words would be helpful.

He'll be close to being a video game journalist because he'd be getting paid (off) by EA.

If you want a job as a security guard, let me know. I can get the number for your location. Starting pay is about $10 to as much as $30 (depends on contract with company). All depends on your qualification and experience. Been in the army, law enforcement, navy, etc. you'll get paid more. Have a gun license, fire safety, CPR, etc. same thing also.

Part time and Full time are available. In NYC, I know we have contracts with St. Johns University, Quest Diagnostics, Coca-Cola, NY Times, Sirius Satellites, LVMH, ESPN, Discovery, HBO, Christies, Tiffany's, AOL Time Warner, and other big name companies. Pretty much any major Fortune 500 companies. This security company is the only company in listed in the Fortune 500.

Ive been working for them for the past 3 years. This is just a cheesy way of getting money. Go into work, wear the uniform that is supplied, fill out a daily report (journal) and go home. Get your paycheck every Friday and start the new week again. You really dont do much..its mostly either at the front desk logging people in, command center monitoring the monitors, patrol, loading dock, lobby, parking lot booth, etc. All depends on location and where client wants guards.

Background check is extensive. The higher ups are mostly retired FBI, CIA and law enforcements.

But.... you get to shoot people if they get all up in your face, right?

Also, I have two jobs and work every single goddamn day. Go get jobs you fuckin' bums!

Yea but I dont think I have the experience (read: havent passed the right number of tests). We'll see what happens later.
