So I started at the bottom of the food chain many years ago as a check out chick in coles. I worked my backside off in a couple jobs to get the skills and credentials I have now. I am experienced and well skilled. I have an envious customer service record...

but I cant get a job at all.

Heck, even Aldi knocked me back as a check out operator. Feels like my unskilled 14yo daughter could get a job easier than me.

and there is so few to apply for. I mean heaps if I was a truck driver or a diesel mechanic, but not as many in retail which is really the most likely sector for me to get a job in around here.

I have got a town with a couple of dozen shops and somehow I need to make them advertise 4 jobs a fortnight! 2 of them this week require me to habd my resume in in person. Out of printer ink so that isnt happening anytime soon. Now I need to report the jobs I have applied for to both my JSA and Centrelink where as before it was just my JSA and she has been on holiday for the last 2 weeks.

I'm screwed.
