Finding a job is truly an amazing quest. Soon there will be an anniversary - a year since my company has not paid me a salary. Of course, under such conditions, I decided to change the place of work, but for various reasons I persistently took up this matter only a month ago. Just so you understand, there is no problem finding a job somewhere in a bakery, as a salesperson or as a driver. However, my goal is to find a qualified job in some serious company. Having studied the most suitable options for me, I settled on three companies. None of them refused me and all said that I am suitable for them, but it is necessary to wait. This wait has been going on for a month and I have a sneaking suspicion that I will not wait for anything.
how to find a common language with irradiated communists?
No way, I have proven it on my own experience about 10,000 times.
I have to tell you that I was even surprised when I found out that you are working, even that your plant is still functioning in this troubled time. And about looking for a new job right now... I really can't imagine how you live. 😔 I will not repeat what I think about what the consequences will be if Bulgaria goes to war - a complete and irreversible disaster, a ruin that will NEVER be rebuilt again.
Of course, I also want to find a qualified job. But as it turned out in the last year and a half, my options are limited to German-speaking call centers only. And for me this is not a qualified job nor is it a good job and it will cost me my health again considering the working conditions in the country. One of the things that bothers me is that employers try to combine multiple positions into a single position (or very limited staff for a huge volume of work). This is not from today, because in my first job I signed as an accountant in the tax department, I did VAT returns, communication with foreign countries, imports, sales and everything, and at the same time I made coffee for the bosses and cleaned the office every night. 😂
Nowadays, employers are turning to immigrants from the far east, because it is claimed that Bulgarians do not work enough, and these immigrants, carrying the culture of Asia, would not allow themselves to rest even when they are sick.
Years ago, when I lived in the capital and got into taxis whose drivers turned out to be scientists with two academic degrees, I always said to myself: Oh my God, I'll never get there. I insist on doing a qualified job after all this learning and qualifying.
But... it seems that is not the case, and that education means nothing, neither does hard work, nor conscientious completion of tasks, nor good work. None of that matters. Here.
If you can't hang you shouldn't have came, is an American expression that dates back to the revolutionary war.
I have been through what you are going through and it sucks. It sucks big time. I am about two weeks into my addition of Lithium batteries to my solar/wind system. After how many years of having to make constant adjustments through the day, slowly I am sleeping in and not eating spoiled food because I forgot to move the ice down from the freezer at night or put it back in the freezer during the day.
I found out my wife had not baby blanket in 54 years and I washed it unknown to her.
When you can do nothing, do little things.
Small successes lead to big success.
This is the time for love in a relationship.
And if you need to fight to survive because it's that bad. Create a plan. Volunteer.
There were rocks in the roads everywhere. I went with my truck and gathered them all over a hundred miles of roads. One would slide around on the roads in the winter time and smack a rock. Run over sharp rocks with tires. I fixed that and used to build things here.
There were nails and tire puncturing bits of metal all over the roads. I picked them.
Here some of the local freaks decided I was worthless and waste of flesh. I wrote the small things I did that made a big difference and flatly said, I will no longer do this until I get respect!
Do the little things that are good so you have ammo so that when the comes you can step up to plate and smack a scoring hit. Jump up and catch the ball to end the inning when the bases are loaded.
It's the small things that make the world better. It makes you feel good too!
When I first came to this specific place almost 6 years ago, I too thought I could make a difference. I dug through a few dumpsters around and removed the most amazing things that had been lying there for years - I found a whole horse harness, with the wooden wagon bars, bathroom curtains, rugs, clothes, shoes, expired medicine, etc. I cleaned the street in front of the house every few days of cigarette butts, bottles and all kinds of household rubbish. However, one day I realized that there was no change. One particular spot at the end of the street always filled up with trash shortly after I cleaned it. It was like it was on purpose. It's as if these people here don't want to be clean, they can't stand cleanliness. Of course, that's not exactly the case, they're not doing it on purpose, or so I hope. They are simply used to throwing and dirtying, and cleanliness does not make an impression on them. I even called the garbage company that left bins for grass, leaves and branches, because those bins were always full of nylons and plastic. I thought we could do something. But it turned out we couldn't. (That was last year.)
Guess if I keep doing that this year too. It turns out that I did it for 5 years. It also turns out that I am a very stubborn and persistent person. But there comes a point where my batteries overheat or die. And I feel like a toy whose battery is damaged or dead but can no longer be replaced. And this toy is no longer able to make a single movement anymore.
This is just one small example. It's the same with job hunting. For a year and a half I've been getting last minute rejections or no response or offers for shit jobs. Not specifically here, but for the whole country, because I'm looking for a remote job. I think any reasonable person will understand that there is no point in this going on, all the efforts wasted are pointless. My battery is dead here too. Because it has reached the limit of reasonableness.
In short, I understand your strategy of small steps, but they don't work here. I have to take one big step, little ones don't help.😃

Thanks!
Thanks @steemcurator01
You are right about drivers with two higher educations. Such cases are commonplace here and have always been. You are also right about the multi-functionality trend. In my company, if a person was fired, his position was reduced, and the functions were distributed among other employees. The owners of the enterprise liked this approach very much.
