>graduated 5 years ago with an accounting degree>2 years pass since graduation and i don't manage to get any jobs in accounting so have no experience>i get desperate and apply for a call centre job at a major bank in the personal lending space and i somehow get the job>basically all i do is take people through personal loan and credit card applications and it's pure suffering>after a year i have enough and accidentally tell a customer to fuck off>somehow don't get fired but i get the sense my time there is almost over, so i start looking for something, anything, that i can make a career out of>by sheer luck i manage to get a job at another major bank as a credit analyst in their car loans space>the job involves assessing people's loan applications and their financial situation, and deciding if we should approve them or not for a loan>it's a proper career, incredibly easy to do, with potential to make decent money (>$120k AUD), and the company intends to train me over time, teaching me to assess self employed deals and commercial deals>the people on my team are all extremely friendly and chill, the job offers work from home 3 days a week, we're allowed to dress however we want at work>the only downside is it's KPI driven, and i'm extremely slow, and you have to answer phone calls from brokers regularly, and i have insane anxiety when i comes to using a phone, but it's not nearly as often as in a call centre
>>32602818>somehow i persist, the managers like me even though my numbers aren't great, and i end up with some of the highest quality assurance results in the team (this is where a senior reassess your application to make sure you followed the credit policy and aren't approving loans that you shouldn't be)>finally i've found my start in life. my goal is to get trained up on commercial applications and then try and jump ship to the home loans space, where the real money is>but only a year after i finally feel some happiness, my dreams are cut short>i, along with everyone in the car loans space, are made redundant>i never get trained up on self employed or commercial deals, only PAYG employee applications>but now i have good references, some work experience at a major bank, and everyone in the personal lending space knows about the redundancies so i have an excuse for only being there for a year...
>>32602823>i start looking for work in the credit space hoping to strike gold again>i try and focus on roles in the home loan space but have no luck. one bitch from a recruitment agency even laughed at me when i told her i wanted to get into the home loan space with only personal loan experience. stupid bitch>after about 3 months i manage to get an interview at a small personal lender.>from the interview i get the impression it has all the same benefits that working at the bank had, but i won't be trained on commercial deals and there's no way to move to a home loan team>it doesn't matter though, i'm desperate for a job>somehow i manage to get the job, and to my surprise a friend from high school also works there>things are looking pretty good
>>32602849>i start the job, the people there are nice and friendly, but immediately i sense something is wrong>from the get go, i'm being offered daily over time because the work queues are exploding and the team is too small to manage it during normal work hours>despite being a small lender, we're expected to request and assess a lot more documents than i was required at the bank, which makes every application take a lot longer to assess and pisses off brokers and applicants, despite this, we're expected to meet the same KPIs we were expected to meet at the bank>the team are generally all inexperienced, and unlike at the bank there's few people i can ask for help when i get stuck>their credit policy is filled to the brim with missing information and contradictory information, that i have to keep asking the team leaders or the 'seniors' for clarification, only to be told different information by different people>the quality of the deals is so bad because the company is in a growth phase and offering ridiculous fees and rates to broker and applicants that i end up having to deals about 60-80% of my applications every day, and people don't like being told no>the monthly long training that i'm required to complete with credit manager before being allowed to work on my own completely obliterates the confidence i gained as an analyst at the bank, because the manager is very emotional and ends up disagreeing with the vast majority of my decisions over stupid shit like not liking a particular broker, or even outright ignoring his own credit policy because he kinda liked a deal despite it technically falling outside our policy
>>32602892>eventually i complete the training and am free to work on my own, but try as i might, i cannot get close to meeting the KPIs expected of me>as i befriend the other analysts, i learn that they're all also unable to meet the KPIs, but they all still manage to pull numbers twice as strong as mine. they also all tell me they hate the job and are burnt out, but they're all kinda stuck in the role/career>for the first month the inability to meet the KPIs is fine because i'm new, but then i start having to have weekly meetings with my team leader, which makes the job even more miserable>i want out, but because i was only at my previous role for a year, and the one prior to that for a year, i have to keep trying to not make my employment history look even worse>i keep trying, but i can't get the numbers to move. while i'm there, 2 people get fired during their 6 month probation periods.>eventually i get to the end of mine and have to have a meeting with my team leader.>the meeting goes on for an hour and she spends the whole time grilling me for my career choices, asking me why became an analyst if i can't handle fast paced work environments or talking on the phone, and questioning why i didn't become an engineer or something. she asks me if i'm happy with the job, and at that point i'm so worn out i say 'no, not really'.>the meeting finally finishes, and i get fired, 6 months into my new role.
Give us a TLDR.
>>32602932He was jerking off in his cubicle when he thought the office was empty
>>32602922>now i'm jobless yet again, with an even worse employment history than before, and i've got to somehow find a new job with growth potential that i won't suck at in fear of repeating this experience>this was roughly 4.5 weeks ago>i've been looking a new job everyday since then, looking for entry level payroll and accounting jobs, and even warehousing jobs out of desperation, and i cannot get any calls back, not even from recruiters advertising multiple job offersso what do i do from here? how do i get employers and recruiters to consider me for these roles and how do i explain to them my abysmal work history?
>>32602940Ok ok this guy again
>>32602932it's the headingbut here's another one>have job>good job>lose job cause company save money>find new job>bad job>bad at job>lose job>no job>look for new job (not same job)>can't find new job>fired too many times>what do?
>>32602941No lie, not reading all that. But if you had any jobs where you worked temporarily and the industry isnt too small LEAVE THE JOB OFF YOUR RESUMEYou dont need to explain the time you were working some place for 2 months and got fired.
>>32602965i worked for 6 months before getting fired, so if i leave it off my work history will look like:1 year at bank10 months unemployed as of today
>>32602970Lie and say you quit to help with a sick family stuff member you havent been able to get work again? There might be a temp agency that buys that story, or doesnt care. If you’re trying to get warehouse work and the like they may not hire simply due to you being overqualified (they know you will leave the job the second something better comes)
>>32602818Find a job you are competent in.
>>32602970career change, your ex boss was right.The line of work obviously doesn't suit you.
>>32602818I don’t have any advice for you but I adidas read your entire story and found it interesting. Here is a picture to cheer you up.
>>32604005T-thanks I guess
>>32604717Dude I’m impressed and amazed at your willingness to get your feet wetI just graduated and I’m so scared of getting into the job marketBut you swing for the fences all the time
>>32602818Thinking about stopping going to work.I've been working there for years now but I think it might be time to stop soon. It just doesn't do it for me anymore, it's not really helping me in any way. I don't get any benefits, hasn't helped me with women, or with meeting new people and it's barely enough money at the end of the month. I'm not getting any joy out of it anymore like I used to. It also eats up too much of my time.So yeah after waging for many years, on and off I admit, it might be time to finally call it quits and move on with my life, so my new years resolution was to quit work and just fuck everything. I won't be paying any more bills, taxes, utilities, fines, groceries or any other financial obligations. Just not going to participate anymore that's all.
>>32602978You don't get unemployment if you quit your job.
>>32602818it seems to me your job is just a job, nothing really cool or inspirational, juat a 9-5 office job speaking with people on the phone and closing deals. So why are you sad, treat it for what it is, a stupid meaningless job you only do cause you are forced to. Enjoy life .ore and what it gives you outside the working hours, try to find a new even more meaningless job where you can just fuck around with colleagues. Something safe that pays the most. And again, enjoy everything ELESE in life. And you'll be happy. Who gives a fuck that you are not great at your shit ass job, you shouldn't
>>32602941>>32602922Why is your first instinct to go for a warehouse and not somewhere like say a beer vendor or some graveyard shift?
>>32602818>and i have insane anxiety when i comes to using a phoneIKTF wish I could fix that
