I'm a Scottish NEET transhumanister and can't find a job. Decided to go to uni to do sociology and film studies as a surrogate for employment so the job centre wouldn't keep hounding me trying to make me do unpaid 'internships' as… A cleaner… Or at a fast food chain in exchange for the dole. Had a few jobs on and off over my 20s but in my 30s now and feeling quite shite and done with academia (sociology and film) considering I know most of it already and have experience making films and doing freelance shit and just need to do something.

What is NEET filmmaker/musician transhumanist to do for our cause? Im also bretty good at DIY I guess



 

Hello I have the potential to become a supervisor at a mail company and want to become one for the benefits, less body strain, and more potential growth in my career.
I want to also see if I can help the unions a bit here and there too. Any tips? Am I a terrible bastard?

My grandad was union steward and he said all bosses are bastards but without some sympathetic floor leads they would've never gotten their contract demands through. You gots to get paid, and if you can be friendly with the union without getting fired it's a double win.

>>2110
I like the idea of rubbing shoulders with the union. Thing is getting caught and fired is always spooky

did you get a job straight out of university high school training etc? I've been applying for years. Shit sucks. Only have a job after going to a mental hospital and a retard facility. Who's dick did you suck to get your job. I could probably just have laid bricks and shit for 600AUD a day or so. I'd be in better shape and not a fat permanently online retard.

You'd still be a retard but a less fat one.

with 600AUD a day which could probably buy me some fucking pussy too. Ten years without any. I'd be like a man let out of jail on that shit. Be like a pimp assed dracula caligulating.

im going to be like that shit from an anal cunt song where I'm a PhD working at a gas station.

>>2203
Didn't get a job for 5 fucking years after my studies.

My advice is, get ANY job before the gap in your resume fucks you over. Experience is way more important than anything else.

Get some money, then instantly you'll get some motivation and some semblance of a normal life going. Don't worry too much about the future, or else you'll be stuck forever.

The robot report podcast featured a company that lays bricks and mortar. They know the alignment. They are not in demo phase. They are in production and success phase. They have on site compute.

When I left college, I worked in food service.

What should I be doing to get into IT?
I was thinking:
>get a helpdesk job with my experience from helping out my family as an IT contractor
>get a+ and network+ CompTIA certifications
>get RHCSA certification
>pray to engles I get past the interview process for sysadmin job somewhere
What I'm really wondering is, is certification stacking worth it, or should I just look into climbing the corporate ladder?

Sysadmins require 5 years of experience. Try your best to get A+ and Desktop Support. I have been unemployed for more than half a year and I have several certificates. Cloud, Security, A+. I have a major and a minor in different computer related fields. I am still unemployed.

It is brutal out there. Concert every job question into a password manager entry so you can copy and paste faster. Use folders to group it all.



 

Ive read Das capital and im a member of a communist party, I am currently unemployed and was gonna enter university farily soon. I was pressured by bourgesis idelogy to try to get a degree, its funny because I love marx yet I only realize a shit ton of youngins were being pressured into becoming uni graduates to force wages down for Intelligentsia jobs.

Im now at a middle road, I can either work in culinary that was my backup, either get a degree in culinary (that i don't wanna do after realizing ykw) or work my way up from shitty dishwasher and line cook jobs to actual kitchen jobs. I can technically sustain myself since I have low standards for housing but its gonna suck. So what do I do? Getting a job for even the entry level positions is hard too so its a bit of a gamble

If you happen to live in a country where going to college wont put you into debt for the rest of your lifetime, definitely go that route.



 

I cant get a job anybody else having this problem
also from what ive heard wages have decreased by -0.3 so even getting a job isn't good.

Are you American? Are you white? Are you a man?

Same. Ive been applying for warehouse/industry jobs once a day for the past 3 months.
The only times I've heard back were on the jobs where I clicked "I do not consent to using AI to overview my application", and those were denials.
It's hard work searching for a job.

If I lose the job I have now I think that might be it. I'm done. At least with working. Maybe end of life but I'll try to spend as much of my money before I go.

Propertyless proletariat and all that

Im a white male you got a problem?

Been looking for work (while employed) for two fucking years. I have interviewed for only six jobs during that time.

>>2107
Didn't get that last job. Stupidly applied to a position that didn't have any pay listed. That means they know it is dog shit, they rejected me because their budget was less than half of what I was looking for.

how would that even work? from my (probably retarded) knowledge IT work is like a cuck it till you make it game and even if you're successful you maybe hold a job for like 6 months and then move on. are there actual successful examples of IT unions

Boss wants me to operate a forklift without a license, move extremely heavy and broken pallets through a tight hallway, where I sometimes climb up the pallets, but I get minimum wage.

Have you started the fire? We need it for night time. It's freezing here.

bitches love forklift operators, though

your boss is an idiot and is exposing himself and the company to massive liability. get some hard evidence of you driving that forklift with your boss's knowledge and approval and you've got some serious leverage, if he tries to fire you or doesn't give you the raise or promotion or hours or benefits you ask for or whatever it might be, you whip out that evidence and watch his face turn white.

>>2174
this. talk to a lawyer if you can find one, make sure your evidence is legal (one-party consent recordings) and get good at forklifting. Make sure you wear your seatbelt and don't be a retard. lol at mods for moving a labor dispute thread.

>>2175
also a reminder that this dude was union, got this job through his labor union at the union hall and still ended up fucked up

21 years old and haven't found work, went to school for IT and there are barely any jobs revolved around what I studied for, living in the euroreich, any other zoomies experiencing this? I've been thinking about getting my drivers license and just doing that since I prefer sitting jobs.

>>2114
Have you tried signing up with recruiters/agencies? I feel like job searching sites are totally useless now and 99% of the jobs on there are just fake, scams, or ridiculous requirements like "minimum wage - seeking Swahili speaker"

>Have you tried signing up with recruiters/agencies?
In my country we have a unemployment insurance fund who also help with finding work, so I might give that a shot.

>I feel like job searching sites are totally useless now

It's so bullshit. I know for certain that in America there are fake job-listings but I'm not sure if that has carried over to the EU yet.

>>2116
Pretty sure they're everywhere now. One of my acquaintances just got scammed like £300 by a fake task scam app thing.

The other day I got a robocall on my phone from a bored sounding Northern woman (clearly not the usual customer service voice is all I'm saying) that said "Hello, this is Indeed Human Resources, please add my number on WhatsApp to discuss a job opportunity" (yeah sounds legit).

>>2116
>In my country we have a unemployment insurance fund who also help with finding work, so I might give that a shot.

Also, I would try this yeah, but also contact private recruiter companies, they get commission of like £1000 - £3000 or something if they find you a job and they hire you, so they're a lot more motivated than bored government employees.

Things suck right now in Amerikkka and I can only imagine how much it will be in 2027 when I graduate High-School, I worry that with this gig-economy and AI shit going around I will never achieve my art dreams and be stuck as a Wagie.

You will survive the chemicals and projectiles of the front.

Honest question, should I just empty out my 401k and just forget about retirement? That shit's not until 2055 anyway.

I wouldn't if I were you. You'll get old one day
