I'm 17 and at college and there's a man from the Cez Republic in my class. He's 28 and doesn't work. Up untill 2 weeks ago, I worked as a waitress, but then the resturant closed down suddenly and I don't have a job anymore. The other day, I was telling a couple of people in my class how hard it was for me to get a new job, that I'd sent of loads of CV's and applications forms, but no employers were getting back to me, ect.... Then the CR guy began to say "Well, you have to keep trying harder, you can't live of mummy and daddy forever". That struck a nerve, and I replied "Excuse me, I'm not living of anybody, I still have money in the bank from my last job, and at least I'm not coming over here from a different country and sponging of British tax payers!" I'm not normally like that, but I count myself as a hard worker and was just frustrated because I couldn't a job interview. I feel a little bad now as I felt I was a bit harsh, and have to face him again next week. Was I a bit mean?
