Worst part about being unemployed is the pity face everyone makes when you tell them. If I hear one more "don't worry you'll find something soon" I'm going to scream. Trying to be helpful is one thing but pitying me helps no one and makes me uncomfortable.

I think a lot of the time they don't realize they're doing it. Which is still annoying, but their intentions are probably good. Who know's you may do it to other people without knowing too.

I would rather someone asks me what kind of work are you looking for?I will keep my ears open and they actually keep their ears open instead of saying for the sake.

How do you solve for similar work profiles for Tier 1 and 2 grads but lower pays for Tier 2 grads?

Additional Posts in Unemployed

Just got let go and my manager said part of it was because I was looking for other jobs. I didn't look for other jobs at work, so I'm not sure how they could have known that unless a coworker snitched on me. Is it worth it to try and find out who or should I just leave it? Can't deny that I'm seriously pissed off about it.
