Job Anyone?
Right. Back in February 2009...
"I have a great job with alright money and I don't want for anything. Snore. I'm going back to college"
July 2009...
"Jaysus, sure I've been accepted. Best quit my job so...I'll just get a little extra part time job for some money. I only need it for my loans - I don't need to go out drinking all the time"
And then September happened...
Not only do I want to go drinking all the time, but my "little extra part time job to pay for my loans only" appears to be a little less than enough to support my new student lifestyle. So off I go to get me another little job. But there aren't any! And the ones that I think might take me on, won't because I appear to have too much work experience! How would bank experience hamper my chances of getting a job in the local Spar, I hear you ask. I am good at talking to people...I can count money...I can answer a telephone...I think I could handle stocking a few bags of crisps onto a shelf (even though I have no prior experience but sure, we all love a trier right?) But I must have talked too much in the bank. Or maybe it was that time when I missed an important phone call from a man who wanted to ask if he had to have the internet for internet banking. Special folk make special phone calls.
I don't know. But at 25 there is absolutely no way that I can have too much work experience. If that is the case, then what are the people older than me with families to support going to do?! Even if jobs are available, it doesn't look like some people can get them. I will clean toilets if it will keep me in beer and petrol money. Not together.
Tis shockin.
