But you all seem to love the silly blog posts, the ones where I find something tiny to focus on, some small aspect of life which I can study, get angry or happy about, and use to shield me from the mind-numbing directionless nature of my existence.
And for today, it's jobs.
I've been looking for a job.
I've been looking for some jobs on the Internet, because I have this completely baseless theory that somehow I'll stumble upon a magical job that meets all my needs, which would probably be something like:
Personal Piano Player, Chef, for Unicorn Wanted:
Sparkles the 6 month old Unicorn foal is in need of a personal piano player to sooth his soul, and a chef to nourish his fledgling body. It is important that he has an ongoing person to meet these needs during these formative months. VCE French level of speaking a bonus, as Sparkles speaks a little French (but only so much that VCE level is all that would be useful). Extra benefits include 100 wishes which he will grant you on his first birthday.
- Chef training fully provided, prior experience irrelevant
- Approx $45/hour
- Very flexible part-time work hours
But in the meantime, I'm searching for other jobs.
And what's started to bug me is this: the jobs which are written up appallingly, but still demand a competent employee with a wealth of previous experience. As I have none, I am always disappointed to see it listed as a criterion. But it becomes harder to accept when it's on a job that's advertised like this:
"We require professional wait staff. That are exceptionally bubbly and out going."
And then they remind applicants that "it is paramount that you...are fluent in English". Really?
