In my country you get **** all for being unemployed... at least there you get what is equivalent to our basic wage per month! job agencies are horrid, useless here as well.
Please note, I am the branch manager for an extrememly successful training company
I have been for the past 3 years, i have never been unemployed...
in all fairness reading all these comments, all the guy was saying is that he is grateful that his partner (who me thinks is a guy as he never actually mentioned his/her name or anything, which is cool though :wub
I have an awesome girlfriend, I earn a lot of money and I pay for mostly everything, the house/cars/rates/levies/electricity/cell phones etc she just buys our food
I am grateful for that, in my country (SA) it is impossible to really find a job (especially with BBE) so dont stress, keep on trying and dont give up mate! and dont get into a slump and depressed, I have seen mates do this, they would sit and do nothing all day.. play pc etc, not even get off their *** to make a call or even taking the time to email their CV out...
dont get stuck in that rut! a Merry Christmas and I hope you find a job (permanent one at that) for 2011
