I graduated in 2012 from college. Cry me a river. I've been unemployed 3 times. I've had four full-time employers in four years.
Then you of ALL PEOPLE should understand what the hell I'm talking about, when I refer to the job market as being inefficient.
Job interviews are about selling to the person sitting across from you how you can help them make the most amount of money. The dating game is also all sales. If you can pull chicks you can pull employers. Let them do the talking and sell them what they need.
Job interviews are SUPPOSED to be about "selling" yourself to the person across the table and showing them how you are going to make them money. Most job interviews today (especially for jobs you are responding to off job boards) are NOT about that anymore. I broke it down in my City Data thread that I posted before.
Do something about it. Enhance your skills. Start a business. Join a union. Hell, go on the picket line and protest for $15 minimum wage if you have to. Do anything other than complain about how your life sucks.
Listen, let me make one thing clear to you and "the audience" watching. TENACITY doesn't sit behind a fvcking computer screen "whining" all day or all week. TENACITY spends his day doing the following:
- Currently working my current position, which involves a big sales component, chasing paperwork from clients all day, negotiating rates, and managing current portfolios.
- Working out. I do about 5 workout sessions a week.
- Doing research on various new investments and new opportunities.
- Writing (I love to write)
- Going out with the plates that I'm spinning.
I don't spend ALL DAY on Sosuave.com, CityData.com, or any other website bytching, moaning, whining or complaining. If you look at this thread (while it's 20 pages), there are wide gaps in between it.
I needed a thread I could vent and rant in, as well as put all of my venting/ranting thoughts out there to get feedback. I agree with you guys that I come off "negative" in this thread, but that's just THIS THREAD....it's getting annoying that that you guys are taking my rants/venting in this thread and carrying it over to how I'm just a person who sits around bytching/moaning all day, or a person that actually curses out recruiters, or a person that doesn't "sell himself" to prospective business partners. That's bullshyt, and I wish you guys would stop making that correlation because it makes literally no damn sense.
I'm an educated black man too and you don't see me on here *****ing about how the sky is falling.
I applaud you then, my "brother" lol. But why judge me? Why judge me cause I choose to make dedicated threads here and on City Data so I can curse, vent, rant, etc. about the bullshyt I go through in daily life....because quite frankly....this is one of the ONLY MEDIUMS I'm able to do such venting and ranting?
I have to get this shyt out of my system and this is the perfect place to do it, would you rather me actually go the fvck off on a recruiter? Go the fvck off on a business partner? Go the fvck off on a client? Huh? Would that make more sense to you?
You have food, a computer, a bed, water, and are probably healthy. Your attitude is terrible. Nothing in your life will turn around until that changes.
You don't know how the fvck my attitude is. You are JUDGING me based on a fvcking thread you read on Sosuave.com, which is a dedicated thread where I'm discussing my anger issues in relation to the marketplace. I come here to rant, vent and get shyt off my chest because like I SAID "brother", this is one of the very few mediums where I'm ABLE to even speak about this shyt.
You don't know a damn thing about TENACITY nor TENACITY'S attitude because if you did "brother", then you damn sure wouldn't talk about how my attitude is fvcked up. I'm one of the most hard-working motherfvckers
OFF this forum.
- My life speaks for it
- My body speaks for it (those abs didn't get there and they don't STAY THERE through osmosis buddy)
- The number of chicks I'm spinning speaks for it
