When I entered the workforce in the early 2000s, I struggled to get a job. To get unemployment payments I had to attend a weekly session at a local job agency to prove I was actively trying to work.
I remember the advice from there clearly - “Just think of a place you want to work, go there with your resume, ask them what positions they have and offer to work for free. Then they’ll hire you if they like you.”
lol no one is going to let you work for free.
"Unpaid internship"
That reminds me of this cringe YouTube short I saw.
This recent college grad was talking about how he was an intern on Wall Street but decided to take a risk and quit his job to start a company in Dubai.
He then shows a clip of him in this really fancy condo and then asks if the viewer will do the same thing of following their dreams.
Where the fuck did he get the money to move to Dubai and start a company? Who’s paying for that fancy condo?
Pissed me off to no end. He clearly just started working but had plenty of money and then acts like following your dreams is a matter of courage. Fuck off!
