So last year, i finally got a joinery job which i loved (for the money mostly but glad to finally have work in my chosen profession) which came to an end around august, since then i have sent out over 1000 Cv's, no joke i keep a log, to different joinery firms and other jobs like driving warehouse etc, i haven't had a single fucking interview, not 1, Liverpool has been fucking smashed by this recession. The dole seem to think i'm not looking for work and increase pressure on me to get a job more and more every time i sign on. I genuinly am depressed, Everton are shite this season, most of my mates are off doing they're own thing or in nick, my parents struggle more each week to run the house, i never have money to do anything so i'm virtually a hermit. I want to go to Australia, i've taken the visa assesment and i'm eligible to get a years work permit, a few of my construction friends are already out there and apparently there is a huge amount of work for joiners over there but what's holding me back is the $5000 you need to go out there. Every time something with the potential to be good comes around it never works out and i'm sick of working hard at doing things the proper way and getting shit on on a regular basis, nobody understands how under pressure i feel to get myself out of this situation but every open door gets fucking slammed in my face. I was a bad fucking kid a few years ago, always into something and constantly in trouble but in no way do i deserve the shit lifestyle i've had these past 2-3 years, i've tried so hard to do things the right way and i'm sick to death of things not working out. I tend to find the silver lining and drag myself out of shitty situations but i have no control over whats happening as it's the government/banks fault i can't get any work. I have ways of making easy money, the majority of my mates are upto no good but live far better then i do and i feel like a fucking dickhead getting fucked over for trying to be legit whilst other people who jump straight into crime are reaping the benefits of a reduced police force and general depression so they sell more drugs and such. I really have nowhere to turn, do i continue living like a fucking pauper because theres no work for legit folk or go back to what i did when i was younger and actually have money to spend on the weekend, it's a question i ask myself every fucking day and i'm still undecided. One side of me says what i would be doing is bad but then i didn't get a say in what the bankers did and i'm fucked because of it whilst they take a measly 900k instead of their usual 2m bonuses. Realistically i could have the 5 grand i need for aus in a few weeks if i get work of my mates but if i get caught then it's jail and aus wont take criminals, or i could wait like i have for 3 fucking years for something to come along and continue being depressed. My head is fucking everywhere. |

That's a tough one. I hear the country's in a mess and quite frankly, I dread going back. However, it appears the US is also in a mess. It is a shame that this mess is making you consider do dodgy things. Have you been applying for any old job or just jobs within your profession? The Australia thing definitely seems like a good idea.. As for me, I've been in Florida for over 7 months... It's flying by and like I said, I dread going home. |

Irony. I think you should keep looking for work. Try getting a mate who works in business to look at your CV and rewrite the shit for you. I'm still at uni in London and I don't envy you out in the real world looking for jobs... |
