Satirist Mark Humphries unveils the government's new unemployment program
The Prime Minister Scott Morrison suggested this week that some unemployed Australians are turning down job opportunities to stay on JobSeeker. With changes to both the JobSeeker and JobKeeper schemes looming, 7.30's resident satirist Mark Humphries and his co-writer Evan Williams have this update.www.abc.net.au -
@ LEMR:I was on job seeker for two years trying to find a new job. I had to go in twice a week for an hour and job search, writing down every job I applied for and they were checked. They made me do studies and short courses to help me find a job (even though I had zero interest at all in the courses I had to do).
While I was there about half of the people in my group were dropped from job
seeker because they were lying about applying for jobs. They need to be stricter, force people to actually look for jobs x) -
@ LEMR:I could stop working and make money doing nothing, but while I was on job seeker I felt useless.
Personally I couldn't sit around and get money for it. I needed to do something :< -

@ LEMR:Did you get stuck at the 'we're looking for someone with experience' road block? I can't get the experience without the job >_<

@ cccdfern:Nearly got a job at office werks when doing diploma for netwerking, except when the ad said 1 day a week which would have suited fine, what they really wanted was a full/part timer, was a flat no at the time.

@ cccdfern:lol, and bunnings? job app sent to them in 2012 for stocktake work, got a response 2+ years later. >.>
-
@ Baker Street:Heh Bunnings. I ordered a power tool as one of their 'special orders' because it's always out of stock locally. That was 2 months ago. Rang 'em up and they said they were out of that item Australia wide and they were waiting for a new shipment. When I pointed out their website said it was in stock at nearly every other branch, and could they just send it from one of those? Nope - too hard...
-
@ LEMR:lol makes me think of when I applied for petbarn (never even heard back from them)
My local one was advertising one opening, saying experience with animals preferred etc etc.
I literally sent in my resume saying I could work any section of their shop and give reliable information to customers in terms of queries about animals and products, showed all the animals studies I'd done, that I'd worked in a zoo and that I keep a ton of animals myself.
They ended up hiring a junior who was still in highschool and had only ever kept dogs, had no clue about anything else. All comes down to money with them, can pay a junior less xD -

@ cccdfern:Yea, my firstest job was at a similar place, was there for a little
while, horsy people, family run, got replaced by someone younger (cheaper) qq -
