&gt;I sympathize with unemployed people who are legitimately fucked in terms of getting a job, but not anyone who refuses to take a job that is "beneath" them ಠ_ಠ. A condition of unemployment benefits is that if you get offered a job you have to take it or lose the benefits. Plus have your resume automatically enrolled in some sort of database that employers can look through. If you get a job that you don't like or feel is beneath you, then you can just work there to support yourself while you look for a better job.
