Any jobs available where you can sit at home surfing the Internet and they send you a paycheck?
ReplyDeleteNo, you just have to apply for that job at the big building on Mineral Street. Qualifications include: Children (extra credit for 3+ and with different fathers), Big Screen TV (must be flat screen), Iphone (bill must be $150 per month or more), you must smoke, drink or do drugs (all three would be great), Facebook Account (must be willing to comment on the Springfield Police Department Facebook page multiple times per day), and most importantly, you must be lazy and unwilling to apply for any other jobs.
DeleteThe papers and internet sites like, Indeed and CL are full of ads from employers begging for RELIABLE, AMBITIOUS workers. The ONLY reasons someone is unable to secure these jobs are IQ level, lousy references, chronic short term stints, and filing a workman's comp claim. These people have no one to blame but themselves for employment woes and no job fair will change that.
ReplyDeleteOr being overqualified...and those folks are smart enough to leave town.
