Cant get a job without experience

I've learned something in the past couple months of job searching. In today's society, employers want you to have experience but how do you get that experience? You get it by getting hired! Employers aren't going to hire you though because... uh oh... you don't have experience.

If this was 50 years ago I could find a job easily. I paid $15,000 for a piece of paper, literally. If i don't find a job in the legal field, then I will have to resort to finding some lame job with crap pay. I have a bartending certificate and an LAA diploma and what do I have to show for this? NOTHING!

Do you know all the things that go through my mind during the day and night? Well first, suicide thoughts. I know, that's ridiculous, but I can't live like this anymore. I've gone through my schooling and have nothing to show for it. I keep repeating that but it's hard not to. Second, I don't know where my life is heading and it FUCKING SCARES ME. I need reassurance that something good in my life is going to happen.

You know what that "something good" is? I want to move out, I don't want to be stuck living with my parents anymore. I don't like it. I need to move on and move out. I want a nice car, something fun and reliable. I want a job that makes me feel successful and satisfied. I just want an independent life where I go buy groceries for my home and I go out for long drives with some pretty girl and I want to go out and have fun hanging out with friends at the bar every weekend.

My life right now is not where I wanted it to be and I don't see it changing any time soon. I've hit rock bottom and if it wasn't for bad luck then I wouldn't have any luck.

I need a life preserver.

Winner winner chicken dinner

Today I won my first Tim Hortons roll up. Yay! I won a coffee. I better not go spending it all in one place.

I went to my fourth, yes fourth, recruitment company for help. Now I have 4 companies trying to find me work. Someone has to find me work sooner or later.

My sister's boyfriends mom is a legal assistant and he is gunna see if she can somehow get me a job. It would be awesome I could land something that way, yay for networking.

Cheers till tomorrow

Death of a controller part 7?

Today I broke another PS3 controller.  The pink one, and I don't care. It was almost broken anyways. Smashed it into a thousand pieces.

I had another recruitment interview too. I got a good vibe from them, it was a small place too but I have a good feeling that if anyone is gunna find me a job then it will be them.

Over and out.

Ps: I hate this new predictive text on the GS2, it fucking sucks.

Now I'm done

The beat goes on

Had a phone interview with a legal recruitment company today. They want me to come in on Thursday for another interview. After my interview tomorrow and Thursday, it will be 4 recruitment companies trying to find me work. With zero success so far, things aren't looking so hot. I'm still keeping my head up.

This is the quote I live by and I haven't been living by it lately. That changes now.

See you later, alligators

Looking for work

I have been looking for work for a few weeks now. Since finishing school I have not been able to find a job. You know that vicious circle? No one wants to hire you because you have no experience, you can't get experience because no one wants to hire you.

How long am I going to have to wait before I catch a break? I have a diploma in Legal Admin Assistant but where is this going to take me? Is the world going to fetch me a bone soon?

So many questions and no answers. I'm frustrated but everyone keeps telling me to keep it up and keep looking.

You say "why don't you look for something else in the meantime?". I say it's because I don't want to put my effort into finding a job that I don't want and not into finding a job that I do want.

It's tough. I hope I find something soon.

My First Post

Today, March 11, is my first post. I'm new to this blog thing so everything is a little "rough around the edges". I wanted to start a blog to share what I want to share without the opinions and assholes from facebook.

The more I post on here, the more you're gunna find out about me. I don't like starting introductions so I won't be giving you a brief about me.

Stay tuned for more...
