How do you get a job? Seriously I've been handing out resumes everywhere and nothing is happening. I got maybe 2 interviews to stack shelves and failed both because of unexplained NEET years. I don't want to be NEET anymore.

Hahaha, you faggot. You are not a TruNEET. Also, one does not expect to go onto the battlefield and come back alive. As a TruNEET, the time when I can't be one anymore, is the time of my death.

>>8748053 Well, first, what kind of job you are looking for? Second, what are your qualifications? I'm not talking about your "credentials" what can you actually do?

>>8748053 >I don't want to be NEET anymore. Such is the fate of every single NEET. Every NEET should see this is reconsider his life. Sooner or later it will come to you after, games and porn will be no longer entertaining. Think about this, before you start another "wage slave" or "NEET master race" thread

I was a NEET for one full year after high school and then I applied at UPS twice and got in. That's pretty much it, you gotta take a shitty job.

>>8748252 TruNEET is a NEET out of his own choice and believes and won't be shaken by no matter what. There are involuntary NEETs, who hate being ones and so on.

How much NEET years do you have under your belt, OP? Do you have any good education or some perks? You must be more specific about your situation if you want to hear any advice at all.

>>8748203 I graduated high school 4 years ago and dropped out of college a year later. Since then, I just been inside my house, NEET life was fun for the first year at the most but then I tried leaving the house to get a job, after failing I'd get depressed and give up for another couple months.

>Didn't get a job because on his resume he told the truth about how long he was a NEET for Just fucking manipulate the dates so the longest gap in your employment is 2 months. Jesus Christ, do you think when they phone up for a reference (If they even do, most companies don't bother unless you're in a position of trust/lots of money/around vulnerable adults or children) that they are going to check the dates? Everyone lies on their CV/Resume, I've been fired from pretty much every job I've had, it's still not too hard to get another one.

>>8748317 Go for the lowest, flip burgers or some shit like that, just to start getting in the tracks again. >>8748321 This guy says wisdom, it's a good excuse. If everything fails, learn French, Spanish or something like that, all bussiness need shit translated and opens you a lot of posibility, also, you can make contacts if you are attending to classes to learn. Once you are "learning" something you are no longer a NEET.

>>8748292 I became a NEET because I was "that guy" who could never fit in. Even though I go through phases of depression, I sort of like this life choice. Which one does that make me?

>>8748708 A TruNEET, because you accepted it and can deal with it, with all its consequences and implications. Pathetic NEETs are the ones that cry how they can't get a job.

There's jobs everywhere in Corporate America, it's just that you, as a while male, don't want to do it. Things like construction or garbage man, for example.

At least you've gotten interviews OP. I've applied at half of the jobs at my local mall, and haven't gotten so much as a phone call. Also at Walmart, other local grocers, and just about every other entry-level position I can find. No experience = no job. What am I doing wrong? I really would like an answer to that.

>be myself >be black, over 21, and NEET >out of work for a year >apply for jobs everywhere, McDonalds and everything else >get a couple interviews >partially spill spaghetti >never get callbacks >tfw still no job It's hard enough being a young white male with no job experience but being a black male with over 7 years of entry level job experience including management really sucks. When McDonalds won't hire you there's something really wrong. I guess they want young, impressionable high school kids working for them because they don't know any better but those kids walk out and quit weekly. I need money and have never walked out on a job. Shit sucks, man. >tfw you secretly think your fatness keep you unemployed

The truth of the matter is that the economy is in such bad shape that the jobs just aren't there. People keep believing what the spoon-feeding media keeps saying- "it's just a recovery ! :D we'll be back to normal p-pretty soon!" Fact is that shit's only going to get worse from here on. New jobs are being made, but they're all part time jobs. Our living standards will soon start falling. At this point every single one of you (who wants to live) should be stockpiling food, water, supplies, silver, and guns.

>>8749440 >No offense to vets or active military personel but, holy shit what the fuck is wrong this world? Employers get a nice tax break for hiring veterans. They're thinking about their bottom line and with so many people out of work, they can be that choosy to hire the cheapest employee possible. Vets also have health insurance through the VA so employers get a pass on that too. It's a win win for them but sucks for us.
