How can i stop all the presure of my family telling me to get a job? |
im a 16 yearold boy i dont go to school and i know i need to be doing something but presure they should understand finding jobs take time. help me Its your life don't listen to them make your own decisions but take full responsible for yourself If you are 16 and not going to school, that's the problem...not the pressure. You may not live to be 100, but it will sure seem like it if you fail to get an education. well if your not in school you do need to get a job, but you really need to be in school so you can get a job Detail all of the ways that you are proactively looking for a job and show it to them, so that they know you are actually putting in a good effort. Provide them with periodic updates to stave off any further comments to you. I think as long as they know and believe that you are truly trying, then they will back off some. You are no longer a school boy so you don't get the school holidays either, time to grow up and go out to look for work, life is not a free ride, if you want to be treated as an adult act like one. Its time to contribute towards your keep. Sorry if this sound harsh but you are no longer a child and need to take responsibility for your life.Play time is over. Give them daily progress reports on your efforts. Document the e-mail requests you've sent out, places you've mailed youre resume, lists of places you've looked, job websites you've logged onto, any interviews you've gone on, how they went, connections you've made, and things you know you can do to improve your prospects. Until you actually find a job, looking for a job should BE your full-time job that you spend at least 6-8 hours a day doing...something a lot more than sending out 3 or 4 e-mails or going out to look for an hour and then knocking off the rest of the day. Instead, make it a point to make at least 50 attempts to get a position each day until you are hired. In a nutshell, prove to them through documentation that you ARE actually working by REALLY putting a lot of effort into looking, and not just slacking, and then they should ease off the pressure. Yeah that's no fun when people pressure you to do something you don't want to do. It doesn't sound like you want to get a job. If I were you, I'd pick up around 10 applications, fill them all out, show them to your parents, and then go turn them in and that should shut them up :) - Just let your parents know you'll follow up on them yourself, and it makes you uncomfortable and feel childish when they pressure you because you want to accomplish things ON YOUR OWN!
