You all must have had big dreams about what your life would be like after college, university or any other form of higher education. After putting in two or three years of solid work and effort you finally get a break, you’re free from exams and prolonged tension. The only thing that gets you anxious is the day you get your examination results. For most that put in an honest effort get the result they desired, and for others they get as much as they put in. No matter what the result is it’s time to move on with the next chapter in your life, finding a job.
At first you wouldn’t know how to go about it, therefore you would ask a few friends for some helpful pointers. Create an up-to-date curriculum vitae of sound knowledge would be necessary, which requires some personal details, schools attended and certificates attained, hobbies and activities etc. Subsequently followed by applying to positions where you think you are most knowledgeable and experienced. You then find that the first thirty to forty positions you applied to didn’t get back to you or that you were unsuccessful.
The economic climate contributes significantly to unemployment rising therefore getting your desired job is difficult. So after you are done digging your dignity you begin to apply to lower level jobs such as administration, retail or even telephone marketing. Let’s keep in mind that you don’t have to be a genius to do these jobs. No,no,no,no, no!!...Apparently you have to be rocket scientist to get a less than mediocre job like these. It appears that if you don’t have the right “qualifications or skills” (stacking tins of food) you can’t work with their corporation. Now, call me an optimist but whilst reading the rejection letter the only question going through my mind would be “where could I get training go to gain these supreme shelf filling skills?” Not only would they physically, emotionally and mentally insult you and your “lack of skills,” but they consistently use the line “due to the high volume of interest in this vacancy, regrettably you have been unsuccessful.” Let me give you some synonyms of the word unsuccessful, “disastrous, ineffective and failed.” Call this intellect of a fellow mediocre mind but FUCK YOU!
Apparently I’m disastrous, ineffective and a failure because I didn’t meet your supreme tin stacking criteria! What the heck has the economy come to? How can anyone get their mind around the fact that it’s time for the uneducated college drop outs time to excel? I for one am mortified. Who could have fathomed that there would be a time where education wouldn’t be appreciated?
When Britain officially announced that we were in the recession Chancellor Alistair Darling stated and I quote “It's difficult to see how we'll get that confidence with a Prime Minister who blames everyone else for the mess we're in and refuses to acknowledge any mistakes." That’s all fine and dandy but I don’t understand why all of the blame went on Gordon Brown. Let’s not forget Gordon Brown wasn’t even elected to be prime minister, the only reason he became prime minister was because Blair fled from his role due to the forecast of the recession. He left Britain on the brink of financial collapse when he stepped down, leaving Gordon Brown accountable. Blair and other prime ministers like Cameron and Brown have worked extremely hard to get Britain to a point of no return. It’s exceptionally commendable, Bravo! Again, it’s nice to know our fellow “tin stacking” prime ministers are employed during these hard economic times, just like the people of their wavelength. I repeat once again, who could have fathomed that there would be a time where education wouldn’t be appreciated?
