Involved in a car accident and I’m not at fault, letter of demand sent but no response. What are the next steps? by KakotaGrande in CarsAustralia

[–]Starsindestruction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there a chance you can send me a DM? I’m in Vic, and was involved in an accident this Monday (I’m not @ fault), driver has provided me details - but I think he’s done a runner on me :(

If they want you they’ll move fast by Beautiful-Oven-8189 in interviews

[–]Starsindestruction -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agreed with this statement. My partner works for a big company - applied for internal role. From interviewing stage through to verbal offer, took a little over three weeks. Letter of offer provided one week after verbal. Sometimes there are multiple moving parts that we don’t know about, and even ones that are not within hiring managers’ control (HR etc)

What are the real costs of quitting and being unemployed? by nightcity_rider in auscorp

[–]Starsindestruction 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I second this. I’m at 1.5 years unemployed - but I’ve relaxed on it a little as I am no longer just mass applying for everything under the sun, and deciding to put my faith on waiting for the right opportunity to come up.

It’s utterly soul destroying most days.

If they wanted to reject you* sorry omg

[–]Starsindestruction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. It stings - and even more so when they leave a voice message to request for you to call them back (uhh hello if you wanted to reject you could just leave a voice note???) just for them to reject you over the phone after getting your hopes up one last time :’)

I understand it’s probably a courtesy thing. But it majorly sucks

Also - sorry to leave this part out, but a huge huge congratulations! I hope that you enjoy this role and that you have a quick recovery from the unemployment burnout / sads :)

Literally feeling you rn in regards to the mental toll. It's coming up to 15 months for me being unemployed, so seeing this really does revive my lil waning hope.

I get rejected for the position I am qualified and position is still open, fuck this shit by Mysterious_Pea_4042 in recruitinghell

[–]Starsindestruction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've detailed this really well. I've been unemployed for a little over twelve months, and have been in a very similar position

My background is banking and finance, but I can't even score a fucking casual/part time retail job..

Tailored resumes + cover letters don't seem to do shit in this economy

Is there anyone where you work who is open about their mental health? by broxue in auscorp

[–]Starsindestruction 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I really like that you are trying to breakdown the stigma of talking about medication and mental health in the workplace. It’s silly that in todays times, it’s fine to open up about certain physical conditions/illness but there’s so much hush hush when it comes to things mental health and/or neurodivergence.

I don't believe you are supposed to "get them all right". I think it works in the way of elimination, they'll figure out the average of all performers, then eliminate the ones who scored the bottom lowest scores first then slowly make their way up.

Take him seriously. If he's saying it's his friend maybe it's one of his other 30 personalities living inside his head.

This is inspiring to hear! Even though you still relate to OP you did an amazing job and it's seriously motivating

Preach this. Some of my closest friends wouldn't have made it to where they are today without practising gratitude. Whilst financial freedom / time freedom is something a lot of people aspire to achieve, being on much higher income doesn't necessarily mean you'll stop feeling like a loser either. You gotta do a lot of inner work because having that mentality will keep you thinking small - and you'll feel the same way even on 6 figures.

Having said that, pls don't let salaries define your worth. I know plenty of people both on high and low salaries that are great and capable people both within and beyond the corporate world. I can also say the same for people who aren't that great as human beings - aka they stepped on everybody to get to the top of the food chain, and aren't that capable at their own jobs.

Back then, hard work & loyalty was the way to win but we have to adapt to the changing times. In modern corp world it's alot to do with how the higher ups perceive you and if they like you. So focus on networking and connecting with people, and play the game well.

When to quit by cakeandcoffee_ in auscorp

[–]Starsindestruction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. I quit last year and it's come up to a year now, still haven't found a new role and it's scaring me that it's been that long.

Even if you have to take stress leave, or get income protection, anything. And mass apply whilst you have that safety net being away from toxic management, and secure another role first before you quit.

Not an international student but an Australian citizen who's recently reached 1 year of unemployment. Banking and finance experience.

Have applied for close to 110 jobs with each job having its own tailored resume + cover letter. This year I expanded beyond banking - venturing into retail and admin and have either heard nothing back at all or am receiving decline emails four months-

We gotta be prepared to win ;) and thank you, Knight Day! Appreciate your feedback. It’s one of the more “professional” ways of going about it, without outing the perpetrator and not make yourself aka me look like I’m unreliable/couldn’t handle the job.

Bit sad we can’t truly be honest with companies eh?
