I want to work, and yet no one gets back to me after my last round of applications.

I need a freakin job so I can afford driving lessons so I can actually get a job as an animal attendant. Oh, but I need a minimum of 2 years experience to do basic sandwich making or retail ffs.

I'm almost at the point of selling my soul back to call centre work, but thought of doing that again is making me fucking sick - tied to a desk and phone, unable to leave it, power-tripping team leaders and abusive, masturbating customers. UGH! I don't think my mental health could take it.

You have more than 2 years experience - this requirement is basically about getting to work on time on all scheduled days. Industry irrelevant.

We'll lie for you as your old bosses.
