Unemployment

[solve809]

18-25 agepeople need jobs because it makes them more mature and gains them experience in what is like to have some type of job.

[semipunk93]

Viral Video Film School brought me here!

=D

[Fashionificationful]

C SPAN "Black Republican Forum" Session 2 (begin at 11:30) Allen West stated part of Amnesty of 1986 was to secure our borders and enforcement our laws, but haven't happened. (We're still talking about new amnesty like DREAM Act.) We can't allow local cities to make sanctuary cities policies, because they will bring our inner city turf wars to epic proportions by bringing in the drug cartel and Columbian gangs. (Mexican Gangs don't recognize US borders established Treaty of Guadalupe)

[Fashionificationful]

In November 2010, the unemployment rate was 9.8% with 15.1 million unemployed. (15.1 million/9.8%) = 154 million are able to work in the workforce. 11,941,812 (or 11.9 million) skilled jobs provided to illegal immigrants. GOOGLE “illegal immigration counters”, the 15.1 million unemployed could take the 11.9 million available jobs. The unemployment rate could be reduced to 2.1% {{15.1-11.9)/154}

[budtrip]

This is fuckin hilarious, really made me laugh. Awesome you got a job after posting this crazy shit.

I've gone insane too after 16 months of living la vida easy and no regular paycheck. But in all honesty, don't particularly miss it it, just need the money now, but don't fancy a McJob.

[RhondaEve]

[theguysontheweb]

[alangentrinapestegui]

keep applying for jobs but whatever you do, DO NOT waste your time with craigslist and especially websites like jobfox.com. Jobfox is one of the shittiest job websites, period. all they do is sell your personal information.

[AFIandAdamLambert]

this is hilarious.

[xenekaro]

That is why people, study hard and get good jobs. You wont find many unemployed geeks.

[johnaiton]

@xenekaro Opposite.

Experience prevails over education.

I worked a job and a girl who started the same day as me was 1 month later promotoed to management above me despite me having a first in business and a second degree in accounting

[Breaudy]

[CathyyM]

ahaha i hate comic sans

[papermariob]

THIS GUY IS INSANE!!!!

No wonder he is unemployed.

If I was an employer and I was looking for a worker, This is the last dude I would choose.

[oblio1000]

@papermariob It's called "creative". take a chill pill nazi youth!

[PortlandsTransport]

What a great video!

[Nunchuck]

well..exactly..

[Clearized]

I agree..unemployment suck. I'm a victim of a companies retaliatory ..uh..I mean "budgetary cutback" firing. This coming from a company that consistantly steals money from it's employees, and changes company policies to suit their needs on a whim. Yea, I reported them for violating my states "Warn act", in an attempt to recoupe hundreds possibly thousands of stolen dollars from their employees. I too may be homeless soon, but I still own my own house on four wheels/(car).

[2Bfreeliberty]

dont be optomistic or anything .. shoudl i go to walmart and get my new mode of transport --- hte bicycle ????

[Kirbymcbadass]

yes

[2Bfreeliberty]

yeah dude, from a guy who's been unemployed several times .. it reaaaaaaaly sucks .. my resolution is not to get back into the rat race if i can help it so that i dont have to worry about a surprise 'downsizing!'

[iamqqqqqqq]

I'm very sparsely employed, and I approve of this video!

[drewd1987]

holy shit take this down. it's 2 years old and it's the first thing that comes up when you search "unemployment"

[noblepuker]

I'm on unemployment for the first time,i've been on it for 2 months...now my old work is fighting it.I thought they only have 14 days for an appeal.Anyways,i'm freaking out,and could become homeless.This video cheered me up.I'm facing the same bullshit.Thanks jason.

[a012345]

How long did it take you to get your first check? It's been like 3 weeks for me and still nothing even though I got my unemployment insurance award.

[rae3232]

so true! Rad video!

[stevenmullis]

dude cut your hair man they look at that shit man........funny video but you take the crazy a little to far

[HelmetArmstrong]

your resume is so SCIENCE. hahaha.

motivated, self-starter, people-person SHET i hate it when employers do that.

y'know there's a way to get employer's attention. try making your resume mysterious. say less and try to make it one page. some employers would be curious and then give you a call for an interview and then that's when you charm them.

[nickboyroy]

hey guys, great video, check out my video i've made about unemployment.. it's hard hitting, fresh up so let me know what you think.

[nursefan]

Also I had kidney stones and at every interview they have a go at me, like I chose to have them and end up in hospital with tube up my dick, wankers, then they say you're lazy but don't give you a job, hello, you can't say I'm lazy then not employ me as i came to work! One interviewer said don't you want to work, (when I was unemployed for 6 months) , I said no that's why I came to a JOB INTERVIEW!!!

[nursefan]

I went down the job centre, bunch of fucking ass holes, full of their own importance, I got told I had an easy ride (by some fat bitch sitting behind a desk). They seem to think you're unemployed, ah you sit in bed all day. Next time I went down for help they gave me a piece of paper and said go ring this, fucking hell what do these arse holes do, just sit about being smug drinking coffee, hope they all burn

[realnewmoney]

I got a good way to get money online, come to my page....

[HelmetArmstrong]

HAHAHA you remind me of my friend when we were fresh out of college. HAHAHA.

HEY guys, PLEASE check out my channel. I have cool cover songs - vids, and ripping acoustic solos. I BEG of you guys, please check it out. Thanks in advance.

[unknowingbiker]

U look queer man

[jasonbentley]

Your gaydar is working nicely. :-)

[HelmetArmstrong]

HAHAHAHA! HEY this is really funny.

HEY I got one in that trend of joke. If he were a lord, He'd be a gaylord. HAHAHA

[HelmetArmstrong]

joke only

[mistysunshinerain]

Dude Im on that some boat, it has a few leaks. In fact I am so scared of sinking I have my floaties on. I hope this economy gets straightened out soon. Your video cracked me up because I am going crazay too!!!

[IncomeInfinity]

No problem. Check out my channel. That will destroy unemployment crap. You would make about $7,000 as you have 7,000 views.

[stuntladz]

people take for granted what the DOLE can do to a mans head! its turning me into cynical cabbage! its ten months for me! and i'm still getting nowhere. probably got more chance of getting a paper round in poland!

[CULAVE]

stuntladz- I empathise. Its shit and we are the most misunderstood group in the UK.

[mattsthtx]

if something doesnt happen might have to start selling crack jk no but really

[0ladystardust]

ugh, i'm unemployed as well and running out of money quickly. i'm really worried i might become homeless. but thanks for your video, it was a good laugh :)

[jayunit06]

thanks for the vid, man. I'm working now but man I can totally relate. 2008 sucked for me. Hope 09 is better.

[anextra540]

i think we can all relate this year, haha, but remember there is always hope

[ahick]

Its sad but true. Horrible hiring process. And now they have us by the balls. With benefits and perks because they know we need the work. Its a rough time. Good luck.

[hubertgreen]

Get a haircut and buy some more respectular clothes.

[Signofarchangel]

Society's anwser to unemployment: "you must not have a job because you have long hair."

[BayBee3695]

LOL, They are going to keep you on unemployment long enough so you get behind in your bills, then your credit rating goes down and then they will use that as an excuse not to hire you. Ain't that some shit!!

[genefury]

i feel your pain dude i feel your pain i been out of work for 3 months but have 2 interviews this month wish me luck

[StanGrad97]

Looking for work sucks. And forget about applying online. I recently asked a person from HR if they actually read the online apps. I was told "We actually don't have time to read all of them so we'll sometimes just take the most recent like ten or so and go over them" The poor hopefuls who submitted the online app weeks ago is fucked! Fucking HR. They don't help anyone. Useless!

[flipflopupdown]

Ask yourself what people did to survive before there was the labor market and jobs. People survived and actually thrived. You can find everthing you need to live all around you. Your attachment to this consumer economy is blinding you to the reality. Reality is you will do well to find within you your innate ability to survive.

[ilovegizzards]

your probably some rich bastard. you fuck.

[jellybean2423]

@flipflopupdown Hi thatas a really good way of looking at things, i never thought of it that way good o u

[lilvjdude]

You said it man...my day is spent on the computer, craigslist, daily monster search reports, and careerfinder. Fuckit, I feel your pain.

Then again this video was posted 2 years ago, so you've most likely found a job by now..

[billbutler941]

review my video and see what they did to me....

[RamzGT]

dude I just got outta college and NOTHING

I'm totally insane as well... you summed it up well

[FilmBorne]

U.S economy is getting worst and worst. Due to discrimation over Hiring policy.

For example, Simon Cowell's decision. When dream dies... Where can you go?

Some young adults join the army. They provide free food and shelter, not after war is over.

[urple1]

lol, i know how you feel dude. it really does drive you crazy.

btw, i love your reaction when you said, "they send me an email written in comic sans." ahhaha

[vanhalenking]

Employers expect too much now days, for so little pay. LOL If I get fired from a job, than its right to the unemployment line to file for my unemployment check on their azzzz!!! I have been on the job for 3yrs, so I can file if I get fired. LOL

[Biscom]

If you have'ny got a job. How are you supposed to pay for your bills?

[salps3]

well i just got signed of the dole yesterday i have a overdraft to pay no cash nothing so i have decided to leave the country i have given up on life fuck it

[doodlebug1000]

Government says tax free gas day. So we need to time it so we are on E (empty)on tax free day. So everyone is going to have to drive twice as much before the tax free day. Fuck you George Bush and all you political fat tubs of lard

[doodlebug1000]

I cant get unemployment because I didnt make enough in the quarter. Its the second time Ive worked for the same co. in less than a year. We can spend billions to help nations that fork teir tongue at us yet I'm nothing more than a number. Ive been to the top had lots of money now its gone. Trying to get back on my feet but just cant. Then people wonder why people rob banks or jack somebody while that stink pile of Texas shit sits in the white house playing games with peoples lives

[cjcreativemarketing]

Hello Great work on the video...I have great info. on my channel

[pedrosanders]

When I have a job the pay is shit and i don't enjoy the job. When I am unemployed I have no money and cannot do anything, its a losing game, sometimes my life seems pointless.

[gamertillman]

I know how you feel. My last job was working at Papa John's they only gave me 8 hrs a week. At the time it was all I can get.I've been looking for work for over a month now with bills piling up. To joyriser, I'm a 20 year old about to be 21, I still live with dad, and I'm willing to be somebody's bitch if it means getting a job, however I'm still unemployed, so there goes your theory. Good Luck job hunting everyone.

[Joyriser]

I am with you on this and wish you all the best!I am older and it seems sometimes that employers do like younger people in.Forgive me if it seemed anti young which I am not! I know what its like with bills coming in!What I would say is that if there is anything you feel like studying for do it now when age is on your side.

[vikingscool]

Good luck you can find a new job, you will find

a dream job, or they would make an offer best job for you. :)

[ectomy1235]

yeah being unemployed aint the best feeling in the world, you feel guity and everyone else is out working, and you just sit there on your arse bored, but if you have enough money you dont have to work just surf but when the surf is no good then what? you go mad!

[Joyriser]

So So true and well said! What they are looking for now is an Octopus about 19 years old that lives with parents! This employee must love working in a team of unfriendly jaded people who are desperate to leave! This employee must show no signs of ambition and be gullible enough to work for minimum Wage!For this wage they are subjected to a full psychometric test and a credit check since they were born!If you can explain why you took a holiday 10 years ago you might be in!

[planetiowa]

If it works, it works! I've heard of others who experienced the opposite. In "Boston Legal," one of the lawyers was called onto the carpet twice by the boss because of his YouTube postings. He appeared in drag.

[planetiowa]

Are you aware that an employer may look for your video, and be convinced NOT to hire you? Unless you're looking for an acting job, you might want to pull your video.

[jasonbentley]

And yet the exact opposite happened. :-)

[planetiowa]

Jason...you mean you were hired because of your video? What is your field?

[jasonbentley]

I work for a web company. Though the video actually helped win me my previous job as a consultant for a major computer storage company here in Silicon Valley.

[Hipnawtic]

Hey I'm unemployed in Silicon Valley! Have any openings at your company??

[oblio1000]

@planetiowa Typical Iowan attitude.

[renataid]

so true...why ARE you checking my credit??

[TheMiniEvilGuy]

lol brilliant

[mackfeck]

had a job interview today, a bloody polish barely english speaking c**t asking me, a born & bred brit for passport or driving license. well i have neither, he says you can't work here without them. i am now a very angry, racist immigrant hater. i need a effing job. i'll shovel shit with my hands. i have 6 gcses, a btec in engineering, much experience, but can i get a job? like f**k.

[englishnationalist]

Mate you need to vote for the BNP, i have the same problem, work in construction, out of work because cunting polish immingrants are taking all the jobs, i worked my bollocks off in college for 4 years for this shit. Fuck the government, im going to join the army and shoot some pakis.

[Joyriser]

Im with you mackfeck and understand where you are coming from!These interviews are a joke where they end up telling you who you are.I have similar qualifications and you end up like Yosser Hughes(Look it up) going" gis a job I can do that"This polish situation is a !"£$% disgrace!

[dwforbes]

so much that you left out. Phone screens are my personal favorite....we noticed that you have demonstrated your success and have 99 out of the 100 attributes that we are looking for, but we're really concerned about whether you can manage this semi-trivial task that isn't listed on your resume.

[skribble007]

*giggles*

well, you can always go back to retail. seems menial at first, but you'll shoot straight up that advancement ladder into management quicker than you can say "naaahahha ahha haaaaaaa"

seriously, im making 10.25 and i work shift supervisor for a pet store.

[neibotlai]

well bro, you about said it...what is there left to do but sit here and think about the pile of bills the hungry dog and the war...

[tigerbear9]

You are so freakin awesome. I feel all the same things you do at the moment. I have a great resume, and can't seem to get a fucking job either right now. I am experiencing the same insanity and knuckle-biting madness as you, complete with nightmares about them checking my horrible credit. You are hilarious, and you have cheered me up. It's good to know that there are other people out there who are well-educated and highly qualified and yet, dreadfully unemployed. Love ya.

[CORRIGEEN71]

HOW LONG WERE YA OUT OF WORK FOR ?

[Notquitewhitegirl]

So it makes you crazy too. Buy legos.

[ungainfullyemployed]

This is right on. I empathize. Hope you got a great job! ....I linked you in my blog about, what else, unemployment.

[arcadia50]

Hi Jason, my none favourite phase is "you must have a 'can do' attitude"... what the bleep bleep is that in plain English?

[Easyslayer69]

Nice, original and wicked!

[gamerbabe15]

holy crap, that was funniest then i thought it would be.. lol wow awesome

5/5

[gamerbabe15]

hm. i wrote that wrong, sry! i ment funnier, and it always makes me laugh no matter how many times i watch it!

[CAWaters853]

Amen, Amen, Amen. Howe about trying to pick the costuming for the job interview? Unemployment checks are starting to look a lot less degrading than employment interviews.

[NathanOsborn]

I sympathize. Been out of work for an age now. Did you get a job in the end?

[jasonbentley]

Yep! Thanks :-)

[Lostfaith1980]

I also feel for you. I've been unemployed for a VERY long time. I'm talking years. And though I can do the jobs easily, I'm more than intelligent etc. No one gives you a chance. I would start up my own business if I didnt already have crippling debt I pay as much as I can towards with my own benefit >_<

May managers of all kinds get piles ^_^
