Job hunting.....I mean real job hunting. Part 1

Unemployed once again and this time it's easier and I have grown from the previous experience. I have been unemployed for two months now.

The unemployment rate in the UK for the youth is almost or around a million. Imagine a million people are jobless like me, that's scary. But from my experience I would say there are people who are really trying to find a job but there isn’t any and then there are those who don't know how to go about finding that job. They don't have a good CV or even a CV and so on and then there are some who just don't want a job. I remember at the job I had there were people who didn't want the job because they had to look after their dog every three hours. Some people were forced by job centre to apply and they were rude and had been unemployed for 11 years and 8 years. That's crazy but that's what I have seen.


Anyways, for me the first part is actually applying properly and regularly. Right now I have sorted different CV's and a cover letters. But I know I need to do more. The thing is in a weird way I expect the jobs to be there waiting for me. Even though I haven't applied for them. But being unemployed sucks, you don't do anything because you don't want to waste money and you feel like a prisoner in your home because you are always at home.

I made a promise to myself that by the end of February I will have a job. I am a beggar and beggars cannot be choosers. I will do anything at this point.

Time will go by and no one is going to knock on my door and say “hey you want a job.” If I try and fail at least I am in there. I might become lucky one of these days. Let these games begin.
