This is going to be a long one.
So, quick backstory;
I'm a college student who quit their job and moved back in with their parents for personal reasons late last year.
Unfortunately, I'm still receiving income from a government organisation (which will remain nameless) due to being a student away from home. In this particular organisation, their system and administration are notoriously bad, the more your circumstances change or the more criteria you meet, means the more or less this organisation can change how much they pay you. Bullshit, right?
So after telling the organisation about my new circumstances, I'm no longer eligible for the payment I am receiving and my payment gets thrown in the trash. So I'm stuck with no money and no income, god knows I wasn't going to receive anything more from anyone else.
So now, fast forward a few months. I try to reapply for my student payment in the new year, but am still not eligible. So instead I apply for one of their other claims that I will call CLJ. CLJ is basically for people who are unemployed and need money urgently, pretty much everyone who applies for CLJ gets it and can receive some decent pay from it too.
The catch? You gotta apply for jobs, at least 20 every month and show evidence that you've applied. This is mainly because the whole point of CLJ is that it helps you find a job.
Now, I am successfully receiving CLJ while I wait a few extra months to be eligible for the student payment again.
But there is also the issue of the whole finding jobs thing. I don't really have the time to work on top of college so I apply for jobs but I keep all the applications terrible, like as undesirable as possible. These companies would be stupid to hire me.
The only issue with this is on one of my applications, I did too good a job. A company (that will remain anonymous) required a quiz (which I answered horribly) and a short audio clip of you explaining your experience and unique skills on the application. To counter this, I wrote a script and voice acted this really high, really tired sounding audio clip of me reading off this terrible script.
Unfortunately, according to a moderating AI on the job application site, my application was too terrible to be seriously considered so it got rejected IMMEDIATELY, even before I could get the evidence to hand in to CLJ.
All that effort I put into that application, all that time crafting a character, all that time writing a script was all for nought.
TLDR: Making terrible job applications for government payment, one is so bad it gets rejected immediately and doesn't count.
EDIT: Didn't want to admit this outright in case someone chases me down for fraud, but I should clarify, I am intentionally making these applications terrible so I don't have to work while I wait
