(Somewhat related: I went to a jobseeker/networking event last night where a participant in a different industry insisted on the inevitability of AI, regardless of industry, refusing to believe I often sign contracts with “No AI” clauses and work in industries that despise it.)

Many job seekers assume their resume is the problem when they don't land any interviews, but the truth is often more complex.

e61 have talked some absolute nonsense about welfare policy this year, possibly with a view to flattering certain contrarian dopes in the Albanese Government:

• Raising benefits won't disincentivise work in any way that matters
• Paying JobSeeker weekly, without a raise, is taking the piss

Finding a job can feel like a full-time job in itself. Many job seekers start wondering if they can simply pay someone to find them a job.

An Australian jobseeker has sparked debate after revealing a question they were asked during a job interview that many labelled a 'massive red flag'. The candidate said they were blindsided when the interviewer directly asked whether they were 'willing to work extra uncompensated hours'. 'I said I'm willing to within reason and if I feel like my salary is justified,' the Redditor wrote.

My husband has a spinal cord injury (so now disabled) since last April. Didn't qualify for DSP but he has NDIS funding (thank goodness).
No point in applying for jobseeker as my (very modest) income is apparently too much for it to be worth all the hassle. So we live off my income. 🫠

#Jobseeker Horror Stories 😱👻

Was told by my now ex-labour hire stooge that my CV isn't up to scratch despite getting a #job & multiple interviews with it. I raised the discrepancy but then got 9 pars of self-congratulatory #corporate wank & a refusal to assist.

Good thing I keep records. #HR

The story of Australia’s “incredible” democratic system: (intentional poverty, “democratic” invasions, colonialism, and of course genocide)
GRATTAN Institute graph of ‘The unemployment benefit has fallen further and further below the poverty line’ 3 lines: Poverty lines and unemployment benefits per week, inflation-adjusted 2021 dollars going back to 1990 Henderson poverty line and Relative poverty line move in parallel, increasing steeply at a constant rate up to $200 at 2010, whilst Unemployment Benefit line does not move at all , creating a large gap until a dramatic spike at 2020 when ‘Coronavirus Supplement in place’, which finally brings the benefit line to meet the Henderson poverty line. Notes: Unemployment benefit includes Energy Supplement. Poverty lines indexed to March 2021 using household disposable income per capita. Adjusted for intlation using the Consumer Price Index. Unemployment benefits have at various times been called the unemployment benefit, the Job Search allowance, the Newstart Allowance, and the JobSeeker payment.

RBA interest rate policy has resulted in unemployment tipping 4.3% (based on archaic Labour Force Survey that deems someone employed if they work just 1 hour in survey week).
Registered Jobseeker recipient numbers (more accurate indicator) would reflect a much higher actual jobless number.

While tourists dine under stars, the homeless sleep under them

Andrea Vance
November 9, 2025

Vance at her perfectly cynical but utterly empathetic best #NZPol
1/3 link in thread
Opinion Auckland Culture Sport Puzzles Sunday Star-Times Regions While tourists dine under stars, the homeless sleep under them Andrea Vance Andrea Vance November 9, 2025 Share Play Video 1:45 Christopher Luxon makes promise about homeless in CBD VIDEO CREDIT: David White Andrea Vance is National Affairs Editor for The Post and Sunday Star-Times. OPINION: It’s the poverty, stupid. And yet the Government seems oblivious - perhaps wilfully so - to why more people are sleeping rough. Auckland’s rough sleeper numbers have doubled in six months. The same pattern is emerging in Christchurch and Wellington. It’s no mystery, nor is it a law-and-order problem. Try a collapsing economy, policies that make it harder to get emergency accommodation, a housing system that punishes the poor while rewarding investors, overwhelmed food banks and mental health failures. The problem isn’t anti-social behaviour - it’s that people can’t afford homes. And yet. This Government’s solution is to move the symptoms out of sight. Ministers are mulling ways to move on rough sleepers from Auckland’s city centre. Property owner, landlord and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon thinks the streets look bedraggled and with the City Rail Link and the convention centre about to open, he needs the city to “look its best.” At the same time, Tourism New Zealand is spending $6.3 million to bring the Michelin Guide to Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Queenstown. Officials think the gourmet stars will light up the economy by drawing an estimated 36,000 high-spending tourists to our shores. The government is moving fast: clearing the slums for the sommeliers. Last week, Police Minister Mark Mitchell and Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith confirmed work is under way to empower law enforcement – police, Māori Wardens, or other agents – to ask homeless people to move on from public spaces. Luxon insisted no Cabinet decisions have been made. But Mitchell, caught letting the cat out of the bag, confirmed that Goldsmith is drafting a bill with input from a retail advisory group. That group isn’t dominated by social workers or housing advocates; rather dairy owners, liquor store operators, Michael Hill managers, and lobbyists Retail NZ. Mitchell says the aim is to take them to a place of safety. But funding cuts means that place doesn’t exist. Emergency housing is full and mental health and addiction services are stretched. I get the political calculation. A move on law is easy to sell: a tidy fix to make inner cities feel safer and more orderly, with just enough punitive scapegoat-ery to satisfy the base. It’s the kind of cheap idea governments turn too when they’ve run out of them. Like the policy that kicks in this month, targeting young people, the very demographic hardest hit by unemployment. From November 2026, many 18-and 19-year-olds will be ineligible for Jobseeker Support if their parents earn above $65,529 a year. It’s meant to incentivise them to find work, despite youth unemployment hitting 15.2% and the NEET rate rising to 13.8%. The policy could affect over 4,000 teenagers. The logic is perverse. The Government punishes young people for being unemployed while presiding over an economy that cannot generate enough full-time work. Meanwhile, rents – at least on paper – are finally softening. (Although, Median weekly rents remain eye-watering: $650 in Auckland, $567 in Wellington, $532 in Christchurch.) But rents aren’t falling isn’t because we’re all suddenly feeling flush. It’s largely a result of young people leaving cities, a cooling rental market, and slow wage growth. Even with tiny dips, the vast majority of people struggling to find shelter cannot suddenly afford a home.

Fun fact, it hasn't requested any documents.

And I'm not on Jobseeker.
