Paul Snover is your typical unemployed father in America...
I have a story to share.
Over the past 2+ years I have applied for over 250 jobs to get hired on.
I
believe I am being discriminated against in a plethora of ways. Check
out these forms (see attachments) I just filled out today to apply for
yet another 3 positions I feel I am well qualified for. These are some
reasons why I probably have not been hired by anyone yet:
- I am NOT a minority. it looks as if they are at the TOP of the desirable list. I am a White Cracker American and that ain't good these days. Not much I can do to change that!
- I am a Vietnam era veteran. I served 6 years Navy and did time in the Colorado National Guard. My past military service seems bad for me in these days! Can't be changed!
- I am over 40. Heck fire, I am over 50! Ever watch Logan's Run? I'm considered a waste today. No, suicide is NOT an option for me! Can't change anything here!
- I am a male. Guess I could go to Trinidad, Colorado, and get that fixed! NO WAY!
- I am an honest good person and I don't drink, smoke, nor do drugs nor cuss (much). It seems that good virtues and principles count for nothing. Guess I could take up all of those worldly vices I gave up long ago...NOT!
- I now have very crappy credit. Thank you to Obama, Ritter, and all you other idiot politicians not willing to take a stand...guess I should throw in Soros, the FED and IRS while I'm cussing here. I have NO control over this anymore!
- I have been "unemployed" for over 2 years. Self employment doing the best I can with what I have in a crappy economy counts for nothing. Been trying to fix this situation! Hitting my head against a wall here!
- I am very politically outspoken. Guess I should keep my mouth shut like a good little slave and say "Thank ya masta'! C'n ya beat me with anotha' stick please sa'?" It isn't in me to change here!
- Oh, and I am a Christian. A Mormon ta boot! Guess I better think about denouncing my religion and faith in God...NOT!
I
have had several contracts off and on which gave me hope and then
dashed me on the rocky shores of despair. I have an offer to work part
time 3 hours a day for $11.00 per hour on the other side of town from
where I live in Loma, Colorado, (over 20 miles one way)...I can't afford
to work like that believe it or not! After expenses, fuel, and taxes
and all I might make $15.00 per day if I'm lucky!
What
the heck am I thinking? I have a college degree, am intelligent, have a
good sense of humor, I'm fairly articulate, etc., etc...with nine
strikes against me why do I bother to apply for jobs anymore? Hope I
guess. What else do I have? Oh, I do have those nine strikes most of
which are out of my control!
There must be others out there in the same or worse position than I! Hard for me to imagine!
What are we to do? What are we to do?
Desperate
people will do desperate things...I thank God every day for my faith
and religious beliefs to hold me down and restrain me, but what of
others not so based in faith? I fear for them most of all.
I
don't know. I'm not seeking charity nor sympothy, just felt the need to
share this. Maybe someone else needs to feel they are not alone!
Pray for miracles...
Paul Snover
