I'm 29 and have been working since I was 16 and, up untill a few years ago, there wasn't a single period where I was unemployed for more than 48hrs.
In recent years, I've gradually become more and more dejected by the working world, not work itself but the bullshit I have to put up with just to do it. Incompetent managers, greedy owners, disgusting customers, meaningless beurocracy ect.
I just want to show up, do my job and go the fuck home, just a consistent roster with reliable hours and no busy body micromanagers. That's all I ask for and I can't even get that.
How inept, at running their own businesses, are these people who can't figure out how much staff they need after being open for years? How have they not figured out 'Saturdays are always busier'?
I am fantastic at customer service, like beyond amazing and have had dozens of reviews mention me by name, across multiple businesses. I never fob off my duties, I do everything, not only right, but better. I am a good ass worker! I am practically dying for a competent small business to pour all this great ethic and skill into but there Aren't any!
I wanna work, not get fucked.
After years of working hard and getting no where, I'm done.
A gap in my work history? Oh yeah… I was totally a self employed, for commission artist and designer, yups, Totes wasn't sitting on my ass doing nothing.
I think I worked at and was a manager at this retail chain that no longer exists for at least 2 years. That sounds close enough to about right, I mean I was doing all the managers work anyway cause there wasn't one for 6 months. And who wouldn't get 10 months mixed up with 2 years!
Yeah, these are totally my references! Half definitely aren't alternate emails I made, cause they said they'd be a reference and then ghosted me and anyone calling about me.
It's kinda funny, via lying and fudging details, my CV actually feels more honest and genuine to me and my abilities. Just wam, bam, cut to the chase, thank you maam!
I used to HATE writing or updating my resume, despite what this post may seem, I am a very humble person. So not only is lying a big issue for me, just exaggerating or being self congratulatory would give me nasty anxiety.
I put off updating my resume for ages because I hate writing about myself, selling myself, so fucking much. Suddenly it's easy and fun cause I just don't care anymore lol
They made this stupid game of flowery resumes and ass kissing, I won't feel bad about refusing to play along anymore.
