The ridiculous system in America with people suing everybody for everything just isn't working, and really never has.

@Chrill Said

Very true, but in the end you need to choose between two candidates. The ridiculous system in America with people suing everybody for everything just isn't working, and really never has. The way things are, you'd be better off never advertising the jobs and instead approach individuals on your own. That way, nobody would be turned down. Of course, someone would sue you for being unfair or something...

What do they say, its not what you know its who you know, its so true i know loads of jobs that have been given to a family member or a mate, or some1 already at the job has put in a good word for some1 he knows and has got him the job, just the way the world works

Always makes me chuckle when people say there are no jobs out there. But I know quite a few people and I get a lot of job offers. Also LinkedIn has given me a few job offers and all I have so far is a half hearted CV that I put no effort into. The works out there you just need to look for it.

@someone_else Said

This might seem a bit odd but in the US, when you're on unemployment (of course this might just be my state) you have to look for full time work. To that end, there are very few jobs. When I was searching, if I had taken a part time job, I'd have had no unemployment and I would have made about half what unemployment pays...with the potential to make less.

Yes, part time is better than nothing but it would've been a bigger hassle to get a part time job, go off unemployment, struggle even more to make ends meet, still look for a full time job then either quit the first part time job or work around it.

@townie_guy Said

I know where you are coming from. But I know loads of people with 2 maybe 3 part time jobs. It makes the ends meet.

@townie_guy Said

We all know this. Yet instead of embracing reality and facing it, people just seem to like to moan and whinge that they are hard done to.

@Commander4th Said

If you was the best qualified applicant for a job, had great experience and had a great interview then found out the job had been given to the managers son, would'nt you feel hard done to?

@someone_else Said

And that might be practical for them. For people with kids, it's not so practical. Oh yeah...and the ends would be so frayed, they'd never meet.

I have been in that situation before. My dad helped me out, he said

"Son, this is the real world, get used to it".

So instead of crying, being a whiney little sissy, and filing lawsuits for human rights, starting riots, making petitions

I went out and found another job.
