Not so snazzy times
For the past 3 weeks, I have been semi-actively looking for someone to say, “Hey Mizz Thang, you want to work for us cuz you are wickedly talented?” However, no one in their right mind combines professional computer work with such urbanized lingo. Maybe only a crack addict my age would, but where are those goons?
Here I am again, the job hunt maniac Mona. I am doing it this time because I don’t need money, but I am bored to death and I want to talk and meet new people. I want to feel useful! Don’t you dare say that my site is an income, because it is not. It is pocket change that I can go around and say, “Hey jealous dumb ass! I am actually making money from writing nonsense. Do you?”
I had enough anal people that visit my humble site telling me to get a job and stop making money from ads. Yeah, you pea brained arrogant selfish bastards. IT IS SO EASY to find a job now a days with such a bad economy. Am I the only one that reads the news? Because companies are going broke and a LOT of people are getting laid off. Also, I make SO much money from this site, that I live on my own island out in the Pacific Ocean. I am not in London, Canada freezing my tan Arab ass off. No. It is a lie. Snow. What is snow? Is it that white cube stuff you put to make my sexy drink cool in the 40c degree weather?
Fortunately, I am not going insane yet. I am close to it though. Very close. One thing I learned while job hunting, to never ever send my resume ever again to a recruiter. They are money hungry people that know NOTHING of your talents. They ask you the most mundane stupid non-related questions, because they know nothing of what the job is really about. They memorize or read off a bunch of skills from a piece of paper, and they don’t know how to really analyze someone for that job. When I am with a recruiter, and they start asking me about my old work place, and I tell them how awesome it was, but we only know I am lying through my teeth, they are amazed by me. Then they ask, “oh.. do you know how to do this and that?” Then I realize at that second that they want to see if I am a match for some other position that I don’t even want, but want to see if they can throw me in another pool for later use.
I have gone to far too many recruiters the past few months. However, 3 weeks ago was the last time I will do it. The recruiter was such an arrogant ass, and he kept boasting about how much money recruiters make off big companies, and that’s why some positions don’t pay well. When I heard that, all I wanted to do was get up and leave, and then say, “screw you and this cheap ass unfairly paid job!” Not only that, the night before, the job was posted at the company’s website. No recruiter needed. I was like huh? And I told the recruiter that. I asked, “well, last night, a similar job was posted on the company’s site. It’s the same right? Are they doing their own hiring?”
Obviously, the recruiter started bullshitting on how many resumes a company gets and they don’t go through all of them. After that, I couldn’t wait till the pointless interview was over. The recruiter obviously did not call, typical, and I just ignored the whole thing. However, last night, I was going through the stupendous job board of this amazing city that God put me in, and the job was still there. In reality, it was exactly the type of job that I wanted. I really want it! I don’t care how much it pays. The experience enough is a big pay off! It was the second step that I should be taking in my career. So I applied directly through the company. However, I know my luck. Meh. I am just one in a 1000!
Finding the right job is not easy. Some people are lucky, and some people, well, are like me! I am giving London a chance for another month. After that, I am going to be searching anywhere in Canada. The reason I am waiting another month because of the snow and mobility.
I hope one day I will get a job where people treat me fairly. I want a full time job, where someone actually pays for my benefits, pension, and insurance. To actually get paid what I am supposed to get paid, and stop being compared to others and get paid the same as them, or even less, so everyone is close to the same level. Why would I get paid the same as someone who is less educated and has less work experience? I think that’s the reason I am so picky with work, and want to make the best choice. However, recruiters, never again!
I guess what now that don’t kill me, can only make me stronger!
Blah Blah, Confused, My taste of Music, Random Thoughts, Ranting as usual!, They said what?, Whatever!
