RE: I just lost my job and these are the reasons why I am not sorry (Amsterdam, I am coming!)
I am a Nurse, I was a Paramedic but wanted to travel. Now I can sometimes find a job in many places except The United States. The US exists in isolation and prevents outsiders (Aliens) from taking America jobs.
Now there was a nursing shortage years ago, but today non-employment is over 20 % so they simply prevent outsiders from legally working in America. Note I said Non-Employment, non-employment are people who could work but cannot find work for some time. These Citizens are simply removed from the government statistics to make the unemployment figures look at 9 % or whatever the officials want them to read / be reported.
The only things that matter about finding work is a bit like Steemit, there are three things to doing a job or career KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS and ATTITUDE. On Steemit you must have an upbeat attitude. If your morning drive time radio host comes on the airwaves and complains, they will not do it again. Their job is to FAKE IT, to be happy ; upbeat and entertaining.
Remember their pet rock might have just died, but they must be alive, exciting and considerate to their audience. Like any want to be person you need to learn to fake it till you make it ! ! !
So holding a job or career is about knowledge, skills and attitude, but reality says 80% of anything is attitude. You must be respectful, compliant, diligent and understand that you cannot choke the living **it out of AHoles who desperately need it.
Understand it is not your self appointed place in life to help Mother Nature remove vermin from the human gene pool. Yes you would be doing society a favour, but that is not your role . . .
Your role is to do what you need to do for your own happiness and success, usually and sometimes you will even be allowed to be ethical and moral in all your dealings. However often you will need to distort the truth and not reveal all the facts. Just understand that you generally have three things, your health, your self respect and your word of honour.
After that everything is about convincing others you have the perfect attitude, with a professional attitude I almost always can find work where and when I want it; except when scumbags rig the system against me . . .
So FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT ! ! ! = positive attitude, if you need to be negative complain to a stranger on the street to let off frustration but never to anyone around your professional image...
