And you just keep digging... Lots of unemployed people do voluntary work and they do it because they want to and because they enjoy it. Voluntary work is no less a "real job" than one you get paid for.
26% of the population of England volunteer on a formal basis at least once a month. That figure rises to 35% if you include informal volunteering. The value that volunteering adds to the UK economy is £21.5 billion!
Just because you are self-centred and have a bad attitude does not mean that everyone else has. If you come across as so negative in your applications or interviews, it is hardly surprising that you can't get a job. All you do is attack the advice and the people who give it to you. Why ask if you don't want it?0
