I Am Unemployed

Today I went to Kennedy Scott to use their computers (even though I have one at home) 🙄. Going through Indeed looking at all the jobs.. I have photographic memory so I'm scrolling through and there's thousands of jobs that I am either unqualified to do or have already applied for.

I was close to losing my temper.. It's been over a year now coming up to two. It's annoying because I'm not retarded (or maybe I am) but they don't give me a chance because I don't have much work history, I went to a rubbish school with a bad reputation (in fact I've learned more educating myself in my free time than I learnt there).. When I was at school they didn't even teach me the difference between 'there' 'they're' and 'their'.

It's like why do I even bother?

The unemployment rate in some british cities is over 53%. If you ask your parents, they'll tell you it was much easier for them to get a job when they were your age. Blame mass immigration for this.

@tynamite It was so much easier to get a job in the 1960's once you'd had your first job, till then like today with no work history it was hard to get a job.
A lot of today's problem with getting a job is to do with immigration but also fact that government pays companies to hire foreign workers, at £3000 per worker no employers gonna turn their nose up at that.
Place I worked at till 3 yrs ago boss preferred foreign worker as said they worked harder than Brit workers, they did when he was around but not the same when not, plus he was getting the £3000 per worker 😐
