Hey I spent all day studying to further my chances of a promising career. The book was not free, nor was the $300 state required class and the $300 worth of state application fee, background check and electronic fingerprint fee, exam fee and for some reason an additional test fee. I'm doing this even without a job lined up, because I DO believe in luck. And the definition of "luck" is preparation meeting opportunity. So I'm preparing. I want to be the lucky one.

What did you do today?

Now it looks like you are just posting anything you can come up with. Wrong. I've worked before. I found those 2 jobs by job hunting. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Whatever. Guarantee since you've begun your aimless rants you haven't spent a solid day job hunting - particularly since you ignore all advice and ideas here and just fall back on your fake sob story. Enjoy that gubmint paycheck every 3rd. Glad my 6% is doing something. SMH.

I am real and my situation is real. I've offered to meet anyone face to face.

Which is a stupid offer as we all live far from you. Meeting face to face would serve no purpose anyway. I really don't care about your backstory.

Most employers don't give a crap either. They want to know what you're doing now, anything employment or education related, and criminal history.

Sadly, I actually believe Parried's story. I think that he probably does believe that he is effectively job hunting and is unable to understand and follow the advice he has been offered.

If I am right he is simply inept, he is not a troll.

The bottom line is the same. Until/unless he shows that he is capable of using some more effective job search strategies, I am done with him as anything other than forum fodder.

So why don't you listen to any advice?

Did you ever think that companies were getting it right when they DQed you for their jobs? Maybe you aren't a good fit and you need to improve upon your situation?

Nah, that's silly. Employers are just doing that to spite you.

With all the whining you do here, I can only imagine the amount of whining you do in real life. Do you go to interviews and whine like this? I hate working with whiners. I'm sure potential coworkers would love you

I don't get interviews, I just don't hear anything after submitting the application.
