Default New job

My final EI payment is coming in on the 18th, so I was forced to go out and get a job, no matter how degrading a job it is...

So yesterday I got hired on at Boston Pizza for kitchen work. It shouldn't be TOO bad. Two of my roomates work there, one as a bartender and the other as a waitress. And it's nice and close to home, and I'll get all the hours I want. Not to mention 50% off food (and it's great food).

God I hate my life...

So, what happens if someone can't get a job before their EI runs out?

Then that person will start to find it difficult to pay rent, groceries, etc...

Nothing "happens" really, it's just that once my EI runs out I'll have no source of income. So basically, I have to get a job before that happens.

My mum used to work for a government contracted employment company and found loads of people who really tried but couldn't get a job due to poor literacy, numeracy, social skills and hygiene, and were frankly too dumb to realise it. Additionally, there were people who couldn't afford decent clothes for interviews, or had convictions for things like stealing nappies from a supermarket.

And the point to that story is? I'm not having problems like that.. I mean, the record has stopped me from getting a few jobs, but the major problem is a lack of jobs in this area.
