06/04/2009 JOB SEARCH BOOT CAMP DAY ONE
this diary will be is to be a record of the trials and tribulations faced by me at the much hated Job Search boot camp may it be preserved for future generation so they may know the truth and remember what I endured for them
was rudely awakened at 0600 by the clock work harpy, day is already too hot
Not looking forward to this… but orders are orders…. Coffee tastes like weak shit
was given my order transcript at 0700….. Kissed Tricia goodbye with promises I would come back no matter what…. Hope I can keep it…. She’s like a mother too me
The 354 bus took me an others to Centrelink central where I was attached to the PVS Unit and given my transfer papers
The unit HQ wasn’t to far so I arrived well before the other conscripts and was left to wait intill they unlocked the door at 0800
Met J.S Commander Suzy at 0830… and after handing over my papers she had me fill out the required paper work to make my name official before being handed over to Drillmaster Alex for briefing
Was told we were a bunch of no good slackers and it would be his pleasure to whip our butts in to lean mean interviewing machines…….not impressed
First order of business was how to make a presentable CV….. Pointed out I have a CV in my folder
Drillmaster was impressed but said I couldn’t cut….. Seemed genuinely friendly but strict
After briefing we where set to duplication what we just learnt
Easy but tedious work….. Exactly Like what I did in 9th grade…. Felt like I WAS in 9th grade really
So was bored as hell for the full hour given
occupied time by talking to fellow conscripts, cheerful bunch, 10 men and 5 women in total
Not a looker among them…not that I was counting on that….. But it would have been nice
Accommodation is inadequate too….. Space to small for 16 people…. Single large table, not enough papers and only 4 computers available
But I’ll make do… what choice do I have now
At ease order came at 1300, handed in CV before being released for 2 hours of PT to look for work
Made good use of it but was to slow to claim a computer….. Had to make use of papers
Will be faster next time
General halt called at 1500.….was glad to be done for the day.. Will sleep well tonight
Can’t wait intill tomorrow
