Original RT interview video:

"Unemployed 99er speaks out" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yi6qWXsQqNw

********************************************

Today's episode is a special one. I was asked to interview with RT, to tell it like it is, through the eyes of a struggling, unemployed American. This video is for those who saw me on TV, and are curious to know more about my story, as well as those who are curious, bored, or in the same spot I'm in.

Are you unemployed? How do you survive?

  • Job hunting is akin to the dating scene.

    The second you're in a relationship, girls will want you.

    They can either smell the confidence on you or they figure if a good looking girl chose you, you must be a person worth having.

    Who wants a guy that no girl wanted for a year?

  • @moecool HA... very well said.

  • the better question is what guy wants a women who is superficial enough to think about him living in the dinning room and wonder maybe How did he get their? and they loose their job and then they know...i honestly think some of you are just fuckin dumb.much respect man fuck these guys

  • @DocSnaxx Yup, I agree. They're so quick to judge, and rarely think about the circumstances behind the situation. It's assumed that just because someone isn't doing well, they must be losers. Everything is so upside down - There just aren't enough jobs for everyone, and corporations/banks have all the wealth.

  • You know I hate the places that fucking ask for all these skills, requirements ...etc. and then its like $8 an hour wtf? These employers are seriously taking advantage of all the skilled ppl that are umemployed..

  • @dontshootmesanta Hell yeah, I was doing office work that involved a lot of Photoshopping (skilled work), and I was only getting $8/h too. Now I'm making nothing, because business slowed down and they couldn't afford to keep me, even though they liked me and I was always fixing technical issues with all their computers. Life in this economy sucks.

  • @dontshootmesanta How are they taking advantage of people? If you don't like the pay dont take the job. No one is forcing you to work for that firm. If you want more than $8 an hour you need an education. Should have paid attention in high school my friend.

  • Instead of just applying for jobs for a year and complaining about personality tests, try getting educated in something of value. No company wants to hire someone who is "self taught" when someone else is applying at the same time that is certified and properly educated. You can get a Microsoft certification for a couple hundred bucks.

    Its stupid to even ASSUME someone would hire you based on a promise of intelligence. I would never apply for a job and say im a self taught engineer. Wise up.

  • @Network126 Anyways I think I'm going to be back in school this September for Nursing...healthcare seems to be the only career that's going forward. Try telling a nurse that they have to work for free or work unpaid over-time. It simply isn't happening. Luckily right now I work a throw-a-way job at a call centre to save up some money for school though...so my situation may not be as bleak as some others currently out there...it's just a little sad I'm spending the majority of my 20's in school.

  • @Network126 I'm about the same age as you, and roughly in the same situation. I have a degree in marketing/finance from 2010 but that's been worthless. HR at most companies I've interviewed at has been useless and very judgemental towards the whole job situation. Corporate interviews are set up very poorly in my opinion too - who the hell cares what my greatest weakness is or my greatest accomplishment in life? Another detrimental factor is that after a while your resume gets discarded.

  • People frown on working without paying taxes. This is brainwashing. The whole tax system is a big scam. People have been brainwashed to believe that they have to hand their hard earned dollars to the government to support phony wars. Unbelievable.

  • @Network126 I wasn't directed at you, I was directed at the erectionalaffection guy..
