Recently, my mobile browser has been constantly sending me ads on job vacancies and recruitments close to me. I have no idea who told them I'm unemployed but damn, they need to chill.

I hardly get to look at the offers, I just know I'm not interested in any of them. I've never sent out my CV or Resume for a job and I don't think I'll be doing that anytime soon.

One thing I've noticed about these job ads is the similar energy the recruiters require. Although I don't read them, I get a glimpse just before it gets off my screen. What comes to my mind is SLAVERY. I've rejected a number of job offers recently. This is simply because I have my conditions for work. I have become entitled to my space and time.

As absurd as it sounds, I get offered a job and my first question is 'do I get to work at my own time and pace?' The answer is always no, so I decline the offer.

Thanks to my writing activities, I've come to understand what I really desire in a work/life experience. I know how I work and why I require a flexible job to function properly.

The moment I get tired of a work environment, the next thing on my mind is quitting.

The only reason I was able to work at a radio station for 2 years was because of the flexibility of my job. I was only required to come in 30 minutes before my shows. And once a week when we had meetings.

The flexibility of work has to be my first criteria for working. I can work under pressure, however, I prefer being the person placing myself under pressure. This means not taking a deadline seriously enough.

I have had the work experience and I can comfortably say it doesn't suit me. I don't know how I'll cope in a situation where I leave the country and I'll be forced to take up some jobs to make ends meet in my first few years of arrival.

This thought sometimes bothers me but I comfort myself by imagining that a work environment in a different continent will be better than what I have experienced in my country.

Well, until I get to that point, I'll remain unemployed and search for ways to block the recruitment ads from bugging me all the time. I legit thought there was no jobs in the country in the first place.
