I recently read in a report that Brisbane jobs have started becoming less and less frequently encountered on the market. I am reluctant to give a prediction on this matter, because most of the ones that I have heard myself have not been very promising.
We can just imagine the hordes of young people, fresh out of college, yelling from the rooftops “I need a job in Brisbane” and to no avail.
Truth be told, the biggest hit was dealt to the young generation, the ones fresh out of college, who have their whole lives and their dreams ahead of them, yet they have to deal with the recession and the constant bullshit that other people tend to subject them too.
Here is a more potent example, let’s take you average John. John just finished college, and now has a master’s degree in physics. Great job John, speaking of jobs, time to get yourself a job in order to support yourself while you continue your studies and advance through life.
John will look for jobs suited to his expertise, and of course, full time and with a hefty paycheck. All that goes flying out the window after the first few days of searching, when John realizes that most of the openings on the market are for part time jobs that pay horribly.
So here we have John, who worked his back off getting his degree, has spent countless hours learning and studying, being questioned and interviewed, and now he is forced to consider flipping burgers at a fast food joint.
This is the traditional way. You study, you finish school, you get a job, you are happy working for the rest of your life.
Don’t get me wrong, this model worked for our fathers, our forefathers and most of society for a few good millenniums, however things have changed and whether we like it or not, we have to adapt.
Getting a job is more or less pointless to even attempt on your own and at this point, you can either turn to freelancing, which quite frankly is not for the weak, or you can find yourself a professional job hunter.
Going freelance is a great idea for a few people, and they can actually thrive and earn a respectable living this way, however it is not for everyone and you will have to put up with a lot of flak, especially at the beginning, and especially from your family.
Going for a professional job hunter would be looked upon as cheating by most elderly people in the community, which is why I really don’t give a dime about them and their opinions, and it holds the advantage of having a professional by your side. Indeed the guy will do his very best to score you a job more or less tailor made for your abilities, however seeing the condition in which the market presents itself, I seriously doubt his success rate.
As a young graduate, I feel that it is u to you to decide how to go about this decision, and no matter what you pick, remember that this is your life, you will live it, and this argument itself will render everyone else’s opinion invalid.
