An art which I don't think I have mastered. Hard to get offers at the moment :p

If this is for your career perhaps it would be a valuable option to employ a private recruitment agency to assist you with writing your resume and making applications? I know some people who have done this with varied success.

I was thinking of that, but some people are successful without getting an agency.

Plus, some companies have guidelines of how they want your resume set out, so I have to change it around per each resume.

Oh absolutely. Worth trying yourself first.

I just meant if you keep hitting brick walls and you think your applications are letting you down then it could be worth it. I'm not even sure how much it costs.

I'm pretty sure they can help with the resume and then with each individual application, depending on your contract with them I guess.

I have a close family member who works in the area, but in public sector (if that's what it's called... They are a private company but deal with Centrelink referrals). These people know how to tailor your application for the specific position. It amazes me how you can spin some lines from saying exactly the same thing, but sounding so much more impressive.

I will probably try again at the end of next year with this one, but if I have no success, agency might be the way to go.

We do need a welfare system, I agree.

But a welfare system that supports a person, any person, to sit at home all day every day talking on forums and joining dating sites until 3am is unacceptable to me. And quite frankly, unless you want to pay a shit load more tax, our country can't afford it.

I work for Qld Health and there is a funded support group for everyone. People like Reepbot need to be proactive in seeking support and if he won't do it for himself, his benefits should be suspended until he does.

Sorry honey, but you often display the same behaviours yourself. I don't think an irregular forum member could differentiate your forum activities from @reepbot or @Witty Banter . I work for Qld Health as well and there is NOT a funded support group for everyone. Have you ever dealt with a younger person with disability - like a 30 year old with a spinal cord injury? They get nothing. A 64 year old with young onset dementia? - they get nothing. As for your resentment towards your mother - people have mental health issues and it is generally accepted in society. It is fucking hard for them, I have lots of friends who have been through it, but thank God the majority of society accept it as an illness. You called me mentally dysfunctional for disliking Christmas with my family. Oh, the irony

Of course I have. And what a load of shite. Do you have any idea of the role of your CHIP nurse in your ward? Because if you are taking it upon yourself to send clients away without education and support, then shame on you.

Try giving Spinal injuries Australia or Alzheimers Australia a call. They will help your 30 year old with a spinal injury and your 64 year old with early onset dementia find the support they need in their area.

That's one difference between you and I. You like to make people victims, sobbing that life is so unfair due to no support, where I prefer to empower them by giving them the tools to take control and organise the support they need.

Think outside the square. Funded doesn't just mean taking from the government. There are thousands of community based support groups who are driven by people passionate to see positive change and to support those in need.

You are ignorant if you think being raised by a drunk bipolar who abuses children when she is manic hasn't forever damaged me. The difference between me and my mother is I seek help and support when I need it.

I call you dysfunctional because of some of the behaviours you display. For example, you make a decision to go to your family for Christmas dinner, and then turn it into a "what should I do :(, my sister gets to come late but I have to be there early :(" dilemma for pity and attention. You already knew the answer to your question when you posted it. I find that type of pity seeking behaviour dysfunctional. That's not irony, honey. That is just my opinion.

I can see a clear difference. Trala plays her violins victim card at the drop of a hat and judges others despite her own taking of hard drugs during pregnancy, whereas I don't play victim cards and I am not a selfish terrible pleasure seeking parent like her. Big difference. She also invents lies such as welfare access to support her feeling of moral righteousness whereas I use her actual sordid, shameful past. We are polar opposites in truth telling due to her skeleton riddled closet.
 
I was going to write out my experience with mental health issues due to trauma and loss (that thankfully I have recovered from) to try & put some perspective in to how it can seem like people who seem to cope great socially online, do not off line, but then I changed my mind. Over the last week or so, i've seen some people using what people have done in the past against them in some sort of pissing contest and the convo just goes back & forth, on and on, relentlessly trying to one up each other. I wouldn't want to open up about a very painful time in my life to then have it used against me. This is what I see some people doing on here. Weird.

I understand that kind of behaviour from kids... it's all a learning curve but I don't get it when it's adults. I mean seriously... why? What is the pay off? So bizarre.

If it was quite so weird, there wouldn't be the saying 'People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones'. Trala is such a self absorbed megalomaniac that civil methods are simply not an option. This is Trala's language and I'm fluent and flexible. Given Mutley took his grudge the next step by using stolen personal information to muckrake outside this forum, my conscience is entirely clear that factual and public domain skeletons in Trala's closet are fair game, given she is hypocritically and sanctimoniously judging others.

Even though I have been a member of this forum for a while, I wasn't here a lot of the time, so have absolutely no idea of all this what you are talking about, except for what I have read. I wasn't aiming this at anyone in particular, it was just my general observation & was expressing how it felt unsafe to tell a story which might possibly help someone else to understand why people seem to act in certain ways. That's all really.

CHIP nurses don't exist anymore in Qld Health. Update yourself. How about you ask them next time you see them? FFS as if a phone line to call is help. You're the one playing the victim card here, princess - who is to say Witty, reepbot, me etc. havent been "damaged" by our history as well - you've just assumed that. The fact everyone else responded with maturity and honesty to my question and didn't take it as a reason to spite me, and you are still crying about it on every thread speaks more about you than me, and says a lot about how much more mature other forum members are than you. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year - my present to myself is to keep you on ignore and enjoy the company of other forum members without your hate filled rants

It is difficult to say anything in this place given I said I was beaten by a pair of Famous Japanese Mario Kart Brothers (the match-up is decided by Nintendo) and Trala and Mutley manipulated that into paedophelia and incited el-coopo to issue threats of knife violence. Bleachy continued their smear campaign on Friday. I can even say nothing and Trala will fabricate welfare lies, when I do not even qualify. Mutley took bottom feeding to the next level by threatening to release personal information and following through with me. Really, taking the high moral route against Trala and Mutley is pointless. I'm just energetic and more than prepared to fight them in their homeground gutter using the facts of Trala's repulsive and selfish life decisions.

I'm sorry this is not a place you can feel safe open up. I wish there was a way things could be different, but I am at a loss to know how to make that happen :(
