My experience job hunting.

That's a different story, OP. A storage space is different from 2 kids and a wife ... that makes a huge difference. I had a husband have to go away for work and it sucked.

you say you struggled to succeed in your job

let me ask you: have you ever had people accuse you of stealing money in order to get you fired?

has that ever happened to you?

i was that good at my job and making the older techs look bad that they conspired against me to make it look like i stole money

like what do you do in that situation?

You live in CO, so it's a Dem state, I'm in IL also a Dem state and they've shut down the economy pretty good for the past year.

Have you tried looking into being a mechanic at a school district or town?

I don't think Indeed is good for blue collar listings, I would try other sites.

Good luck, I would have a hard time moving too.

i wouldn't mind going to the truck driving school near here and becoming an OTR driver

it's 5k dollars that i don't have, not to mention the cost of getting to the school every day ( 30 mins away adds up in gas everyday )

like seriously i'm just venting my shit right now out of frustration

and now with Biden in charge it just seems ultra bleak

Ya thats a Big gamble. Have you seen the rates for uhaul rentals these days ? Holy smoke ! I was going to possibly take a railroad job in Notrth platte, Ne. but the cost to move there just from Denver was big boo coo $, Houses for rent there are cheap too but unfortunately as with everywhere else there were a ton of phony rental scam ads.
+ you have the unknown of taking that job in another state if its a good job or turns out to be complete shit and everything about it in the ad was a complete lie, then youre definitely screwed.

There are now laws requiring the monkeys to be hired over the hard workers...

No that hasn't happened.

But I've had to move on from jobs from where I felt unwelcome.

OP you just have to suck it up and move on. Forget about that.

Get over your thing with women, too.

It saddens me you have a wife, but you talk like that about how women have it so easy. You are missing the point.

You guys have to do this together.

If you don't have a mortgage, moving is still probably a good idea ...

No, they cannot require that...

No, they cannot require that...

not the point

the point is millions of people are in jobs that they don't deserve

they aren't smart, they don't work hard, but they have cushy jobs with nice salaries

your point about "having a job" is moot in relation to intelligence levels

because your company isn't willing to train new people

i would love to learn hvac

every job posting i see demands years of experience to qualify

Do you even hear yourself? How do you know they don't deserve the jobs? Instead of asking why they HAVE jobs, ask yourself why you DONT have a job. Stop deflecting.

you are truly living in denial if you think everyone in a good job worked hard or truly deserves it

You forgot two words... “for whites”

Been unemployed for about 9 months now.

Yes majority was during the covid crap.

I've filled out hundreds of applications, sent my resume to hundreds of places, nada.

I see the same job postings day after day.

I go to places in person, i ask about job postings online.

I am met with snarky attitudes, i am told that if they are interested they will call me.

I am also told by some places that they are not hiring at all(despite an online job posting), or an outside company does the hiring.

Fake jobs, fake life.

Also I spoke with an unemployment counselor who works with the city, he told me currently there are way more people out of work than jobs available.

What does this mean? hundreds if not thousands of applicants for each job, and super picky employers

At this point getting a job is like winning the lottery.

600 dollars to use an enclosed uhaul for a cross country trip

plus gas plus a storage locker for at least 2 months

you are looking at nearly 1500 dollars

then you have to apply for jobs as a homeless person essentially

not saying it can't be done but it requires a decent cash investment

because your company isn't willing to train new people

Yes in 2019 I had the same things happen. People were saying how great the economy was and how many jobs were available! It was bullshit. Everywhere I interviewed was just doing it for some sort of protocol - they either didn't really need anybody or had already hired from within. Some of them were more than blunt about it. Others seemed uninterested thru the interview and ended by saying my resume would be "kept on file." I realized they were all WASTING MY TIME and every one of them deserved a sound beating!

That's true. I have many unpopular opinions, and how I feel about private sector corporate life is one.

I advise all the girls I know - if they have no idea what they want to do with their lives - to go to any affordable college and get a degree in whatever pleases them, and then go for whatever they can in the corporate world. HR, Accounting, IT, QC, Audit .. whatever.

I've been in corporate life for 25 years, and there is no end in sight. I have co-workers pushing 80, still happily coming in, and still valued by the company.

If you increase the bottom line, you are valued by the company. That's the way to go for average kids, boys and girls, who can sit still long enough.

We hire guys with experience all the time. Theud rather hire a new guy so they can train them how they want.
Anyone can walk in off the streets and theyve got a chance here.
Nobody wants to start at the bottom and work there way up. I started at 13 bucks an hour not even 5 years ago. I make 30 an hour now.

If the company/profession has government contracts then for women (and those who can check "disadvantaged" boxes) it is often better for women than for the men

If your profession unfortunately doesn't have these contracts, good luck.

Corporate life can be very good for many women, as they may offer maternity leave and other perks

monkeys... hired over... hard workers...
