I'm getting very sick of seeing friends with far less experience walking into jobs paying €100k+ while I'm maybe taking home €320 a week, half of that the dole, half from 30 hours a month of contract work. I'm getting increasingly angry at the world, because I cannot understand what I am doing wrong in life. It makes no sense. 😞

@kelpana I'm projecting from my own experience of seeing similar things around me: you might be less inclined to lie than your peers?

@kelpana same.

Application processes have some bullshit in them. Sometimes I think I've been pipped at the post by someone who was simply better aligned and that's cool.

Sometimes it's that I didn't spend 12 hours on the "1 hour" take home test.

What a dopey fuckin industry.

@kelpana It’s a shame that the interview process is a skill in itself, and one completely different from the job 😞

@RobeeShepherd It's one I understand less and less. It seems to be like I have to talk about absolute rubbish just to get a job these days.
