Job seeker commits suicide !  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. Gany15k (661)   ranked 748 out of 32,950 in life 2 years ago

I got a mail from my friend and then searched in Internet and found it as true..

Her name is Vicky Harrison.She killed herself after she was rejected for 200 jobs.I got shocked after reading the title of the mail..Because I never heard of someone dying because of not getting a job..

Then I found the full detail here...

http://www.dailymail.co.u...

But really it is sad..I too searching for a job.But never thought of dying because of not getting job..And will never think also..But she have attended 200 interviews and not selected in one means it is very bad..

She died after taking massive drug overdose..Her mother said: 'Vicky found it humiliating that she had been out of work for so long and couldn't take it any more'

I have attended some 20 interviews I think.But will never do these kind of things...

Hope I get the job soon..What do you think of that girl ?
She made a mistake and took decision without thinking..Her mother should have taken care..Very sad..sad

That is an old news already. I have read it a month ago and I am glad that you found it out. As you pause for a while and analyze, there is a good lesson that we can get from that suicide. We can see that the girl is taught only to find a job and not to start one. Since she is primarily taught to find a job, she doesn't know of anything else but to find a job, which she was rejected for about 200 times. If she was taught about business and how to start one, it might be a different story. Don't you think so?


myLot reputation of 97/100. Gany15k (661)   ranked 748 out of 32,950 in life  2 years ago

Ya, sorry for that..It is an old news but I came to know now only..

It is difficult to start a business..not everyone has the ability to maintain it..If she started and went in loss then it will be the same result as suicide in her case...


myLot reputation of 94/100. learn2earn (16945)   ranked 535 out of 32,950 in life  2 years ago

Yes, you will lose when you have the negative attitude all the time. You can win if you want to.

Maybe where you come from it is an easy thing to start a business. But here it takes $$$,$$$ to start a business. It also takes some education. Been there done that!!!

sad I am very sad to hear about your friend. I do not really know what to say. I just hope that other job seekers do not do the same thing. Was she living at home at the time...guess it really does not matter now. sad


myLot reputation of 97/100. Gany15k (661)   ranked 748 out of 32,950 in life  2 years ago

I think you got wrongly..She is not my friend..I don't know her personally..It is a news I got from my friend in mail..


myLot reputation of 99/100. richnai (5180)  2 years ago

Thanks Gany, I am happy it did not hurt you directly but still sad.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Gany15k (661)   ranked 748 out of 32,950 in life  2 years ago

Yes, it is a sad news..Hope this will not happen to any other job seeker..

This is such a sad story. What is so unbelievable is that after 200 interview know on hired her. That is crazy. I bet these people who didn't hire her are feeling sick to their stomachs now. There had to be some type of job that she could have done. What a shame with her whole life ahead of her. I also can't believe her parents nor her boyfriend could see the road she was going down that would lead her to do something so drastic has killing herself. I wonder if this will make employers rethink rejecting someone for a job.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Gany15k (661)   ranked 748 out of 32,950 in life  2 years ago

Yes,her parents should taken care of her and motivated her..She missed a life.But 200 interview is very bad..I can't even imagine attending 100 interview..It is difficult for her too..so that she made the decision...anyway I hope this should repeat in future in other job seekers..

That is sad. I too have a hard time in findings job. Its a pain to be rejected. Well most of us do feel pain when we are rejected. But to commit suicide? ,well I don't think so. Am at my thirty's and still no job. I an accounting graduate and i study a well known university. My grades are not bad. But still I got rejection to some company's. So what i did is a self job. I started as a carwash boy in my house. With the little money, I started to cook peanuts and sell to the stores as a wholesale. Luckily my sister abroad helps me financial . So with the money, I study again as an electronic tech and soon I became a cell phone techician. Again, with the help of my sisters, I was able to put up a very own shop. Then, there was I my life is just begun as my business grew and grew. Now I'm gonna invest another business, a photo shop and this time I will ask no more for financial needs because I can sustain my income. Well, if we are jobless? we can be self employed. The best thing to do for the unemployed. With a prayer, patience, and with a dream. Things will be possible. Be positive always.

Those type of situation could cause depression and depression could lead to suicide. Her mother could've consoled her during her times of depression. It could have worked and she could have found the courage to get herself up again to find a job.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Gany15k (661)   ranked 748 out of 32,950 in life  2 years ago

Yes, her mother should motivated her..But it is difficult to guess a person will do suicide attempt..Her mother might have not thought that this will happen..Huh ! Just bad luck..and its fate..sad

I, too, I think have do about 100 jobs in 9 years. Some I do long, and others short term.

If I were her, maybe I will commit suicide too because of the rejections I can't take.

But she can do her own business, right? THere's a will there's a way...


myLot reputation of 97/100. Gany15k (661)   ranked 748 out of 32,950 in life  2 years ago

I tell you one thing committing suicide is not the solution..If I were in her situation I will never give up..I will just try on or started some business like you said..

That was terrible and I mean experiencing that kind of job interviews. Well, I will also be depressed after experiencing that kind of situation but I'll definitely not going to have a suicide. well, If I were in her case I will not rush on having a work after a failed interview but rather I'll have a vacation and somehow recall all the things I've learned and practice my skills so that the next time I will join the interview again. I wouldn't be disappointed. It was a sad story for her to end her life that fast. I'll pray for her soul!


myLot reputation of 97/100. Gany15k (661)   ranked 748 out of 32,950 in life  2 years ago

Ya it is sad story..and what you said is right..We should not give up.We can prepare ourself well and move on to the next interview..

She had a short disposition. God has a good purpose for every person. That girl focus his attention on her situation, got depressed and take her life away as a means of escape, rather than focus her attention to GOD's purpose and promises. She never thinks that light comes after darkness. She miss God's blessings.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Gany15k (661)   ranked 748 out of 32,950 in life  2 years ago

God should have saved her..rather than leaving her she tries to commit suicide..

Hi Gany it is very sad and hard truth. Many youngsters are ending their life for not succeeding in the work they took up. It is not only in the interviews suicides among youngsters are present for simple reasons too. Now during the economical crisis I have heard many such stories of people end their life as they has been dismissed from their work. It all shows how unhealthy mind now the young people are having. We have to face the problem present in front of us. One second is enough to end our life. We cannot able to create it even for our life long. What problem comes to us we have to face it with brave heart. It is the lesson she has to learn and also teaches to the young generation.

You work with brave heart and without discouraging. Certainly you would get appointed in a company. Best wishes for you.
Have a good day.
