Today, I was dismissed from my job at an unemployment agency. In order to receive financial support from the government I need to be cooperating with a job service provider. They paired me up with the same place I was just fired from. FML

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, after nearly eight months of unemployment, I started a great new job. After seven and a half hours of work, my new boss comes up to tell me what a great job I was doing, but that he somehow forgot to clear the new hire with the company owner, so I'm fired. Hello, unemployment... again. FML
Today, I was laid off from my job as a manager. After cleaning out my office, I began clearing my computer. I received an email from HR announcing a job position that opened up. Too bad it was for my job. FML
Today, I received an e-mail from the Unemployment Department saying they had a job referral for me. After excitedly reading the description, I realised it was the job I'd just been fired from (at a much higher pay). If I don't go through the application process, I will be denied my unemployment. FML
Today, I was fired on my second day of work after a year and a half of unemployment. Apparently, my "tendency to solve problems instead of just accepting them made the other workers uneasy". FML

Surely you can be assigned to a different one if you tell them the situation.

Isn't there another place around you can apply for the help? Also apply around maybe that will work to your favor

Why were you "fired" in the first place? Is it synonymous with "laid off" in Australia? I feel like we don't know the full story, here.

Call whoever paired you and tell them. Or go to a different one and explain your situation. Good luck.

Just look at it this way. They hired you, they fired you, now they're helping you. Forget the embarrassment, get a new job which I'm sure will be better, and move on. Good luck.

Well since you were working there, I'm sure you know how to put them through absolute hell. Ever seen the Fawlty Towers episode Waldorf Salad? Remember the end? There's your cue!

Uh yeah, you can request a different one - over the phone when they do the 'interview'. I know because I was on the dole once. Cough. It's funny becuase the people who work for centrelink have no will to live.
