Why does nobody want to hire me?

Post by aytoven »

Is it my name?

Should I change my name?

I read a book which said employers are 72% less likely to call you for a interview if you have a Muslim name.

if I'm getting rejected before they've even seen my face or heard my voice what are the chances of me ever getting a job? At least I can mask my social and physical inadequacies through email.

Does anybody have some white names which still sound plausible for a muslim nigger to go by?

How Muslim is your name? I worked with someone called Aziz ul Allah. You can't get more Muslim than that and he had a job. I know loads of Abdis who have jobs and Mohameds and Ahmeds and Alis and Osmans and Omars.

Maybe it's your CV and not your name. Or maybe it's the type of jobs or maybe it's the economy, where you live...loads of reasons dude.

I'm not even applying to jobs that ask for a CV.

These are straight Mcdonalds, bin man type jobs. You're probably overqualified if you can write.

It's my name...just another thing my mother fucked up.

yaa allah why was i born

aytoven, go to the McDonalds you have applied for and ask to speak to the manager. Keep going back until you get a chance to speak to him/her and tell them how hard you will work. Trust me, you'll get it.

That is unless you're still hang up on killing yourself. Then you'll just put people off their food.

:lol:

Well I am not your mother innit. I just tell you what works, rat poison and sucking up to a manager. Which one you take is up to you.

ps I am not begging you to kill yourself. I don't beg. Sometimes I tell you to do it and sometimes I tell you how to do it. Whether you do it or not is up to you. Trust me, the day after you die I won't notice.

:lol: That's sexist BV, using an emoticon that is deemed 'feminine' is a paradigm created by society to limit our expression. :roll:

Of course you're not good enough to clean toilets. You've probably never even touched your own toilet brush at home. Now why would anyone pay someone with zero experience to clean their toilets?
