Another day of failed job hunting

[M. Tugboat]

A newspaper with work ads came out yesterday and I've been making calls the last two days, with no avail.

The only "not so bad" part was that I talked with a Chinese guy and we couldn't understand each other and it reminded me the Hush Hour movies.

I've put some Tyler Bates themes from John Wick and Netflix Punisher to hype myself up to go to the gym, but they don't do much help.

I gotta say, my psych took a hit. Or maybe my E2/prolactin is just out of wack.

What state do you live in? What type of employment are you looking for?

Not in the states.

I kinda called to all kinds of people. Plumber, one of those guys that fix air-conditioners, an electrician, the Chinese dude was a clothing store, and a couple coffee shops.

Call exterminators. They’re always hiring. Nobody likes that job!

Then once you HAVE a job it’ll be a lot easier to find a better job. That’s always been my experience anyway.

Now that you mention it I've never ever seen an exterminator ad

Wish you the best of luck! Too bad you weren't in the states, people here could probably help you.

It's all i saw on Craigslist when I was looking. It's rough looking for anything online nowadays. Everything is a scam. Housing, employment, prostitutes.

Thank you!

The ads are on a weekly newspaper, but even there, there are some sketchy stuff, half a dozen herbarlife pyramid schemes.

I'm sitting at my job looking for a better job as we speak!

I do it every day though.

That's a wise decision.

What's your job?

 

[WeMadeItToAndromeda]

That's a wise decision.

What's your job?

I'm a draftsman/3D Modeler.

I create structural steel drawings using AutoCad and create models of buildings using programs like SDS2 and Tekla. We create models for BIM projects.

Technically we're called detailers, you don't hear draftsman thrown around as much anymore. When people hear detailed though they typically think of like a car detailer lol.

Damn, that sounds quite complex.

Are you looking for a job on the same field or something different?

I look at everything really. I love what I do, but I just keep my eyes out for anything that might pique my interest or be a large increase in money.

The current company I work for keeps me drowning in jobs, so most times I don't feel like the money I make is worth all of the stress.

I've been thinking about just freelance drafting, I know a bunch of companies that hire outside detailers. If I do that though then I have to pony up the money for CAD software which is not cheap, pay for my own health insurance etc.

You're better off on a job board than a newspaper..

 

[WolfGain]

Idk about your area but I resorted to labor pools in many cities doing construction and odd jobs in between gigs for years, even donated plasma twice a week, gotta do what ya gotta do

 

[Sworder]

Go to the gym and do two sets at least! That's all you need to do, it will feel good to get out of the house.

Don't stress, something will come along.

He could always apply at Hot Topic.

Excellent point! @M. Tugboat have you looked into retail sales? A lot of people consider that a dead end career choice, but the good people at Hot Topic offer more than a career - they offer a whole new lifestyle! I know @MisterSuperGod hasn’t looked back and he’s coming up for a promotion to store manager!

So paint those nails and lips black, put in your piercings and go down to your local mall. Hot Topic is hiring and may be interested in someone just like you!
