It’s Fall and Still No Job
Published September 23rd, 2009 | 
Well, it’s been a year and I’m still unemployed. I’m not sure what hurts more, the fact that there aren’t that many jobs or that I seemed to be unemployable. It’s true, I can’t seem to get past employee screening practices to even get my foot in the door most places. Just last week, one company even told me that I failed their pre-employment exam (a fancy term for a psychological profile test). How the fuck do you fail a psychological profile test? Anyway, add to that the fact that I’ve been unemployed or underemployed for a long, long time and throw in the added bonus that I’m thousands of dollars in debt with piss-poor credit and I’m not exactly the ideal candidate. It seems the more you actually need a job, the less an employer wants to hire you. Seriously, places either aren’t hiring or they simply are not hiring me. I give up.
