I've been recommended the same job offer for over six months now and they haven't changed anything about it. Not a word. They stick to their guns without wondering if maybe there's a reason they got no applications at all.
That's why I'm always wary of headlines like "there are so many jobs but no one wants to work".
No my dude. This job would require a master's degree in at least two very different subjects, a minimum of five years of experience, competences in both management and PR and some kind of experience in leading workshops both in situ and remote, plus, of course, the individual interviews. Not to mention frequent trips all over the country. Hence a license. It's 45-50 hours, not 35. Even if you're fast as fuck.
All this for a wage some 500 over the minimal one. It's just. No one with the right competences will want the position, if that person even exists. This is a job for a four people team. Maybe five. I love watching them struggle because they're too damn close to their money.

june park
Hi my name is June Park. I'm a 2nd generation korean descent living in ontario, canada. I'm half korean and canadian. My dad's name is Sungjin Park, but people call him just Jin, and my mom's maiden name is brooklyn roy.  My father's parents were immigrants from south korea and they moved here when he was still a baby. Since then theyve always stayed here. He met my mom in college when he was taking up his computer engineering course, and my mom at that time was taking up computer science. They hit right off.
Then they married around four years since they started dating, and they've first had me and then they had my brother, Adrian Park, 2 years later.
I had a pretty normal upbringing. I was definetely more in touch with my western side than my asian side, however when dad's relatives came to visit it would get really awkward since I wasnt well versed with their customs and traditions, but it was fine.
Ever since I was younger I had a calling towards music and the arts. My brother was more in tune with my father since he decided to like software development. I took up a music course in college and proceeded to university to get a masters degree. My brother took up software development and later on participated in starting up a company with some of his college peers. It was really successful.
I decided to really focus on my academic career before looking for love life. When I finally got time to squeeze in a little bit of romance into my life, it never seemed to work out. My first romance was mathias, a fellow music graduate i had a chance to work with during a little job stint between my college graduation and my university offer. We really got along and I thought we were going to be okay, so i brought up the topic of marriage to him. Somehow though this though seemed to trigger something in him and he got really distant after that. A few months later we broke up.
I decided to go here and there. I was really lost at that time, and my friends decided to let me go out on club nights to help cheer me up. One of those nights I met samuel lam. He was a really charming fellow. We dated for a year until I realized that he really wasn't looking for anything other than a fling here and there. I got fed up with that and decided to break things off.
I still went out on club nights, albeit minus the friends, since they were all starting to get really busy with their new marriages and family life. At that point I only really went on club nights to unwind and relax and get some here and there. Unfortunately (?), it was on one of those club nights I bumped into mathias again. I was passing by the bar when i literally bmumpled into him and spilled my drink on his shirt. I began to apoligize profusely until i realized that it was him. Its a bit of an understatement to say how much it shocked both of us to see each other again. He hadn't changed much, just that he looked a a little bit sharper in the formal suit he was wearing. He was of course just as handsome as i remember him to be. He said he was there for a bachelors party.
I dont know what happened, but we decided to catch up with each other. one thing led to another, and somehow we found ourselves dating again.
It was going great, like really well, i guess you coulf even say that it was even better than the relationship we had before. We dated for a good two years, almost nearing our third year, when i had mentioned wanting to settle down. why did i even think he'd changed? He again got really angry. He was frustrated that I kept bringing it up again. But why would he be angry? Dont we date with the idea of being together forever? I guess I was the only one who thought so. He decided to leave me, saying he couldnt commit to that. Well good riddance I guess.
After that i just decided to fuck with relationships and delve deeper into my musical career. I decided to start up a musical venture. I had the oppurtunity of exploring making classical pieces for films through the recommendation of one of my professors back in university. The arrangement worked out really well and I managed to get to work with a team that was really passionate and hard working. It didn't take long for me to adjust and begin to produce pieces.
I decided to work like a madman for a few years, until my life took a pleasant turn. During the spring of my third year in that venture, I attended the premier for one of the movies my team had worked with. I met one of the persons on the production team of the movie, his name was alex young. I can finally understand why my previous relationship never worked. alex was fun, we were around the same age (i was 28, he was 25), and we really got along together. even when our interests didnt directly coincide, but we both had an appreciation for the arts so it was easy for us to be able to find a common ground. we both loved the same books, the same movies... i couldnt have asked for more.
we got married after two years. but no matter how hard we tried i couldnt have a baby and it didnt seem like he wasnt ready for one either. we decided to hold kids off, but come 2 years later we adopted sweet little erin, she was 2 years old when we had her adopted, along with alexis (alex and alexis!!) who was 11. they belonged to the same adoption home so it was very easy to interact with them and it made the process smoother. we found little erin first before we were introduced to alexis. they are both my sunshines.
shortfly after we were in for a bigger surprise. about a few months when the adoption was finally processed, i suddenly found out that i was pregnant. to this day i still cant believe how it happened, because it was truly a miracle. the doctors were so adamant of the fact that i was incapable of getting pregnant but we were blessed. we had maia that year. the next year, i got pregnant again and this time it was a boy. we named him adrian.
so orginally i only had 2 children, but we had little surprises along the way. and so our small 2 unit family had grown to a sizeable six. i was really lucky at that time since we had managed to seal the deal with multiple production companies and alex had moved to managing the firm. we were able to buy a five bedroom house with 2 bathrooms, a garden (ive been wanting since forever), and a parking space. it was the best set-up i could ever think of.
my kids grew up well. they all achieved college level education, though only maia had decided to pursue at the university level. she became a production engineer at comet laboratories. meanwhile, erin managed to bag a  1st line developer position and alexis graduated nursing. He's currently finishing up his residency. Only adrian didn't really have much plans, despite graduating with a business management degree, and it took while for alex and i to persuade him to get a job. as much as possible i couldn't rest until i knew that all of my children were set for life.
I thank God and all that i managed to live this life. It was stressful and all but i wouldnt trade it for any other life in this world. I love my husband and my children. They will always be the reason for my living.
