A young man, Mirko Paradiso, has gone creative in seeking a job. After becoming jobless, he went on LinkedIn and posted a video.

He danced about it

Mirko stated that instead of complaining about his situation, he decided to embrace it and make it fun all the way.

In a long post, the lady revealed that she has been jobless since November 2020. Between that year and now, she applied for more than 1,000 job opportunities as they all hit a rock.

For the few that she was able to get an interview, their salaries according to her were very low. Favour said even people stopped accepting her LinkedIn connection requests, a situation she reasoned could have been caused by her job-seeking situation.
