Are you the guy who only leaves his room at night when everyone is asleep?

No one has called me back and I'm worried that the gap between employment is growing too big.

Goddammit, I have the certifications and the experience just hire me you bastards.

>>34781347
yes... currently waiting for my nightly voyage.

it's nice to have something to look forward to.

I have a phone interview with my dream job set up for next week. It's crazy how much any positive response from a company improves my mood.

Moving back to Asia again at the end of this month, fuck living here seriously.

Well I lived in Vietnam for a couple of years and learned the language, this time I'm off to Korea. Can highly recommend Vietnam for robots, the country is incredibly cheap so you don't really have to do a lot to survive.

It was luck that got me in but once I was in everyone loved me because I never want to go back to being an actual neet unless I have total financial independence.

I was a NEET for 3 years and then the gubment made me do career training or they'd cut me off.

Long story short I went to truck driving school, got my CDL and have been doing OTR driving for two years now.

I have little to no social interaction with anybody except a shipper or receiver every few days. I'm dispatched through my qualcom so I never actually talk to my dispatcher unless there's a provlem.

My sleeper cab had a tv, small fridge and I have a 4G wireless connector so I can play console games or pc games online or stream stuff.

Plus I'm making about 75k a year as a company driver, owner ops make a lot more but you have to pay for the tractor and insurance.

I'm gonna be driving across the middle of Nevada deserts all night tonight, lonely roads but a comfy tractor.

Doesn't that mean the salary is low?

>"How's the job search coming? Why do you always have to do this? Why must you always humiliate me like this? Why talk down to me every chance you get? Just talk to me like a human being. You don't talk to anyone else like this. How about we talk about movies or football or politics? huh? You barely know me. All you know is the bullshit you and your kids gossip about. I can't believe you even have the audacity to treat me like this. How about we talk about your druggie daughter and her boyfriend who abuses her? Or how they keep trying to steal the identities of family members? Oh i'm sorry, would that offend you? Would it offend you to bring up an embarrassing personal topic like that? Fuck you, Jeff. Selfish prick. Your whole family are the definition of white trash and YOU should feel fucking ashamed of the way you treated your stepdad. He gave literally everything to your stupid fucks and you squandered it all. I hate you fucking people. The only reason I came here was for Grandma, another person you people treat like shit.

>>34781567
For Vietnamese people generally, yes. For a home qualified teacher - which I was - no. I was earning 3000$pm with my accommodation included and no tax; bare in mind this is in a country where you can live on a couple of $$s a day.

>>34781568
If you're just looking for a quick buck, maybe experience something different, whilst you search for a job/decide on a career - you can always try TEFL; most places just ask for a degree.

How do some people actually not find jobs? Like goddamn. I'm 18 and had never had a job until about 4 months ago and I literally got the first job I applied to.

>Move to my grandparents house for college
>Go to hardware store in nearby town
>Submit application
>Interview aquired
>Make myself sound like a hard worker (I actually am)
>Get a recommendation from my cousin who works there already
>Wait a week
>Go back and check in to see what's up and how my interview went
>Wait another week or two
>Get a call for a drug test
>Go take a drug test
>Pass
>Get a call the next day saying I've got the job

Wew that was hard.

I'm 25 and have never had a job. I can't get interviews because of my lack of experience and massive employment gap. My resume is literally my high school diploma and some interests.

Ayy originally original

im too scared to get a job

we had to do a mock job interview for a module on my uni course. We prepared 2 answers and then our partner would throw in a random question. It was filmed so the whole class could watch and critique each other.

I cried as soon as I was done, spoke for 2 out of the alloted 10 minutes and didnt turn up for the seminar where we watched each other

Im too fucking scared to apply to jobs and even if i somehow got one id be terrible. Can't handle phone calls, the idea of co-workers and customers, anything

wat do?

>>34781289
I've already got one why do I need another?!

>>34781313

So will you be NEET again when robots took yr jorb?

>>34782120
Not the guy you're responding to, but you can't be this fucking stupid.

>>34782120
That still helps a lot. I've heard of a lot of companies only hiring by employee recommendations rather than at random.

That feel when I get called for interviews but I don't respond.

>>34781554
Fuck that sounds comfy

>>34782059
Work at ups. They hire anyone. Or temp service. People are just lazy to work

I guess I kind of know this feel. I can barely hack a uni schedule despite it being much more lenient than an actual job, just having to do 9-5 for anything would probably kill me let alone having responsibility and talking to people.

You're literally who should be getting neetbucks.

>>34783378
From what I'm told the only NEETbux available to me involves playing games with a person who persistently hassles you to get a job and even volunteers you for unpaid work placement.

>Be me

>tfw no one has hired me for so long that all of my clothing is now damaged, reducing my chances of getting a job even more significantly

i originally applied to a theatre and mcdonalds but just got to help at a family truck repair place.

i changed some brake shoes today, changed oil, took off a gas tank and stuff like that.

i felt like an idiot when this one trucks back brakes didnt work because apparently i adjusted the slack adjuster the wrong way, ill just let my uncle do that or ask him to watch me next time and see if im doing it right.

the only part of it that i always hate is the occasional event of steering a pickup that wont crank while being pulled in revrse by a fork lift, i suck at it but i can back up a car when its me in control of the gas. every time i do this my uncle is always yelling over the sound of the forklift saying stuff like straighten up or cut it to your right. i just suck at gauging how and where to turn when being pulled in reverse. thinking about it makes me feel like an idiot

>>34781581
How the fuck do your parents put up with you? They'd disown me by that point.

>>34781313
College grad turned neet here.

Convince me to join since I've been sitting in this decision (and my ass) for years now.

Still young enough.

I haven't worked in over 8 months because I just can't bring myself to look for work anymore

Considering I'm 26, I have no college education and I've only ever worked 5 months total in my life (of minimum wage jobs), I should probably kill myself because there's no way I can reenter the workforce ever again.

Just had an interview Thursday. Thought it went really well but then again I always do and never hear back until generic rejection email. I really wanna work for this company too. If there is a God, please give me a break and let me get this one. I feel so fucking hopeless getting rejected time and time again.

As someone who was in a similar position 2 years ago, seriously consider it. I almost became an officer and you probably could too. I would have been paid double than what I currently make at my entry-level job.
