Why do people pressure you to get a job?

Posted at: 2015-07-28 
I don t understand why you should pressure someone to get a job with attitude like "get a job" when clearly they have tried and applied at countless of places to hear they won t hire you. Furthermore they require experience and you can t get experience without the job n you can t get the job without experience? How does that even work? I have been in that situation since I graduated with a BSc Hons in Computer Science have applied for countless jobs been to numerous interviews and all they look for is experience more than anything else. I don t understand why they sought experience and how s it right to tell someone to "get a job" it s not like you can just go to the market and pick it up off the shelf?

Where are you living? Who pays your expenses?

In a way you are right. They should not tell you to get a job, nor allow you to live where you are living. And if receiving government assistance, that money is taxpayer money and not for you either.

I do not have the reason why you can't seem to find a job.

Not applying where more jobs are available

Not using all resources of job hunting including school placement offices

Bad interviewing skills

Seeking jobs above your level of credentials

Of course an employer prefers people with experience. You need an entry level job.

"You can't get experience without a job and you can't get a job without experience".

If that were true nobody would ever get a first job and yet the majority of us are gainfully employed. When we first start looking for work what we do have are transferable life skills and potential and these are what we 'sell' to the employer on CV/resumes and at interview.

Job criteria on job adverts are only guidelines. Apply to the ones that ask for experience. There may be something else on your CV/resume that interests an employer.

Cause homeless, hungery, walking every where, no health insurance, ducks.

Spend some months reading and learning about careers jobs in demand locally.

plenty of books on how to get employed.

Start there for real info

Because if you don't work you don't eat in the long run. If you don't work young you won't have experience when you are done with college and nobody will hire someone too lazy to work.

It does take hundreds of rejections to land a job but that is practicing your sales skills convincing them to choose you over the other teen.

Bills is waiting that's why I feel the heat of needing a job
