This job hunting adventure I am currently on is exhausting. Sometimes it feels demeaning when you walk to a business and ask for an application. Usually the person who gives it to you looks down their nose at you as though unemployment is one step up from being a bum when I know they did the EXACT SAME THING TO GET THEIR OWN DAMN JOB.

Along with that, when you apply online and post your resume, you get everyone and their momma sending you job proposals that sounds shady and illegal. I recieved an email the other day from a company called Independent Charities Foundation. The position they offered me was picking up donations and dropping them off as promptly as I possibly can. Read it yourself:

Dear job seeker,

Independent Charities Foundation is looking for part-time (2-3 hours/day) recruits.

1. What we need from you?
We need the responsible and punctual person who will be taking care of regional donations. "Taking care" means to make these donations reach the destination point as fast as possible. No delays. This is so because the donations are coming to a place where they are really needed this time. If donation is late, the charity action may not be performed at the proper time. That's why we require the punctuality from our applicants.

2. How does it work?
You will be receiving tasks daily (in mornings) by e-mail. The task should be completed during the day. You shall dedicate 2-3 hours/day to complete it. If the task could not be completed this day you have to warn me 1 day before. The task will contain information on current donation passing through your hands. You will receive all details about where this donation is coming from, how to handle it, where it's going, and how to make the transfer of it.

Dosen't it sound like I'll be making runs for the Mafia? They said they paid $40/hr so of course I emailed them back. They sent an email saying I'll be running to banks and post offices mainly. Hmmm...banks, eh?

Maybe I should stop being so picky. So what if there is a chance I'll be arrested for transporting drug money? I need a job.
