Dealing with unemployment - anyone else?

[alpinerabbit]

Europe would be paid by the deposit I get back from moving out, which is just enough for a ticket.

And how do you get home if it doesn't work out?

This isn't some little fashion game for me either, I've been in the punk scene for 10 years. It's my LIFE, my personality, and who I am. If an employer can't accept that then they are not accepting ME as a person, and that would be a serious issue. I'm not changing myself because others want to be discriminatory. It's not snootiness. I'm a friendly, organized, and well adjusted person.

I'm a pagan druid and I don't run around at work in my regalia. I'd love to get green extensions (that has nothing to do with my spiritual views) but I have opted not to do it, nor do I walk around in "just anything" when seeing customers, although I prefer jeans&sneakers.

You want a career, you are on the asking (or almost begging) side, you have to swim with the current, not against it. I know it borders on prostitution - you are selling your life for money.

The punk style just doesn't cut it unless you apply to a punk fashion store. You could pass if you land an interview as a fashion designer.

I forgot...can you be a bike courier?
Actually I'm not kiddin.

You know what, I can't believe I havn't thought of that! Hmmm....

But if you decide to do it - make sure you have medical insurance. It's a dangerous job.
You could do it and at the same time ask for a job at every door you call.

p.s. no offense meant - but I've seen you misspell words. Check your portfolios, letters and cvs for spelling.

As a final pc. of advice, a cousin studied fashion and she went for a secure, well paying job soon after graduating. The downside of that is that it was not in fashion, and it is unlikely she will ever get a foot back in the door to a job in fashion.

So you have to decide if you rough it or go for security now. I see your debt is an added burden.

p.p.s. have you tried Monster?
