Job hunting....oh what fun!

Tuesday, May 1, 2012

No matter what type of work you do, job-hunting is hard; it seems like there are ever-more increasing hoops to jump through, just to get an interview! I remember when I was a teenager/young adult, there were simple one-page applications and you could be working within a week of applying. It is a very different story now. There are drug tests, physicals, background checks, credit checks--and it is very common to go through all these tests and then still not get the job, even if you pass.

Then if you DO manage to get the job, there are more dangers lurking; job discrimination, bullying, sexual harassment, worry that a co-worker might show up with a gun and shoot you. Or how about poor Debbie Stevens, who gave her boss a kidney, and the bitch still fired her for missing work!! I have come to the conclusion that this world is a very fucked-up place, and getting weirder every day.
