Sorry but this is just pathetic! Thought it was a joke at first http://www.dwightjaynes.com/im-just-asking-well-and-kind-of-begging-too/comment-page-1#comment-22605
Have you been oblivious to what is happening with the economy? I don't really find anything pathetic about this. Strange, sure. Not really pathetic.
its pathetic! go look threw the want adds or go apply at burger king instead of begging for a job online. He could find a job easily. He just won;t work a shitty job.
Fuck people. This economy sucks, and if Dwight can find a job this way more power to him. I just hope it works out for Dwight, and anyone else looking for work.
While you seem to have conflicting emotions about people. I agree with the third sentence. It's getting truly brutal out there. I think Shadow Stats might be right about unemployment being closer to 20% then 10%. They no longer count what they call "discouraged workers" folks who have been unemployed I think for either 6 months or a full year. I won't say what I do, but I come in contact with folks fairly regularly who have just been wiped out. Alot of families are supporting one another or things would be far worse. That won't last forever. I hope Dwight finds a job.
I would never make fun of someone for being out of work. Its a dick move, and its basically begging karma to fuck with you. No thanks. I like having a job too much to make fun of someone who doesn't. If he was a lazy SOB that'd be one thing. But clearly he isn't. Cut the guy a break.
I have had a friend living in my living room not paying rent for over a year now because he lost his job. He has found several more over the year, but each one seems to end. He has a degree in communication and willing to do just about anything, but this economy is hard. Right now my friend has been working as an masonry apprentice but there was a problem with the firm that was using him losing their rights to apprentices, hence he has to wait for spots to open at some of the other companies that do this. DW needs to do exactly what he is doing, look for work wherever he can, and hopefully if he follows all avenues, he will find a good job.
he can get a job he just doesn't want to work a shitty job. there is plenty of fast food places that would hire hm on the spot. a job is a job. But he wont do it, instead he will ask you for your money to read his site.
Hey, if he wants to use his exposure generated from his site to find work, that's just fine. However, I think anyone reading the post would be less inclined to hire him. It is just so much begging for work, other than simply announcing "Hello World, I am looking for new employment opportunities". The fact that he's trying to make me feel bad about his situation in order to obtain a job does not fly with me. I graduated from school last August and was looking for a job until this March. About a good half a year. It sucked. Living at home was not fun. Not having money was not fun. But now it's good. Personally, if I had even a bit more expertise, like Jyanes probably has, I'd be starting my own company is this economy. You can hire good people at undervalued salaries and will develop the business enough that you can catch the economy as it turns around. I would say though....that now that I make a pretty nice salary, I'd be upset if I ever had to take a cut in pay (even switching jobs, I feel that my job history has set my salary baseline at a high beginning mark).
