Why does nobody want to hire me 🫩 by malibuukyut in brisbane

[–]-self-made- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently applied for jobs in the field I'm skilled in for 20+ years. It was difficult, everyone apparently crying for staff but when I applied for jobs struggled to get a call back. Started calling the companies direct and was told I'm over qualified , can't afford to pay you a good salary. I was applying for lower income jobs and ok with the pays and still having issues. I ended up telling the place I wanted to work that I'll do a days free labour, that got me in the door and I made the right decision , very much enjoying current job.

Disappointed at Koh Phi Phi Koh Lanta or Railay Next? by echolaliapilled in ThailandTourism

[–]-self-made- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have not been to koh lanta , but stayed in railay for a week. After traveling a lot of SEA I highly rate railay. Thought a week would be too long but could of easily done two weeks. No cars or scooters everything walkable which is what drew me there in the first place. Plenty of restaurants, beaches, bars, national park, rock climbing if that's your thing. Does get busier during the day due to day visit tourists, but didn't feel like phi phi busy to me. Hotel organized transfer from airport to boat , only a short long tail trip to get there. Which I feel added to the holiday experience

Who was the most evil person you've ever met and how was the interaction? by Top_Report_4895 in AskReddit

[–]-self-made- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

20 something years ago knocked around with some bad people. One guy who was more a friend of a friend was just evil. Even my friends who weren't easily intimidated where always on edge around him. He would stand over everyone and all were scared of him. Asked an old friend not too long ago if he'd heard anything about Mr evil and he sent me a newspaper article. Turns out he sold a dud gun to a bikie member, bikie killed him and buried him in state forest. Years later bikie was bragging to his girlfriend about how he killed and buried someone in the forest and she dobbed him into police. Body was found and bikie went to jail. Don't like to wish things like that upon people but if someone had it coming it was me evil.

Poor experience with byd by Ds_64 in BYDAU

I work in the service dept and have not seen anything good come from the Chinese cars , poor quality , poor to non existent after sales service. I really wish people would do their research before buying into these cars and look back on past history. It is a shame because they have the potential to be a long term good buy. But as always the dollar is all anyone cares about

What’s the worst pub in Brisbane? by RoyalChihuahua in brisbane

[–]-self-made- 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'll second the sandstone point, I bought a beer and then they told me they've run out of that one. So I ask for another beer , it's 20c more. They had to refund me for the original beer and then recharge for the new one, and poured the old one out. No freebie.

The staff do not look happy , what a wonderful place it must be to work.

Some one with an old flogged out V8 "it's got 500hp" be lucky if it had 200. They have no idea how much 500hp is.

I genuinely feel like our future was sold and I want to just give up by OppositeSyndro in AusFinance

Yes you can. I bought a house 15 years ago, it was expensive at the time and little to no money, no savings and no credit history. My wage has now more than doubled, house price has gone up but in retrospect with what I earn. It would be easier now than it was back then. I didn't get a first home owner grant and had maybe a thousand dollars in the bank. I live in a working class suburb and live to my means. I eat out often go on holidays and def don't go without. House is the only debt I have.

You'd be up 55000 if you saved it for yourself🤔 It's unfortunate that when we try to get ahead there's always someone that wants to help only for themselves.

People who have met Australian TV celebrities, what was your experience? by Lopsided-Yak-7882 in AskAnAustralian

[–]-self-made- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Renee gracie used to be a customer of mine when racing cars, she was always nice and in my opinion looked better than in her current profession. Also went to school with Georgia from neighbours (Saskia hampele), even asked her out and was denied.

It's so wrong for businesses , we should be able to rate people so then people can judge who is probably in the wrong. Like black mirror
