23-Year-Old Still Unemployed After Applying For 400 Jobs In 2 Years

What might seem as a shocker to many is what is currently happening to a 23-year-old man by the name Jake Hopes, who has sent in at least 400 different job applications in two years without any positive outcome from those jobs. His dream appears becoming a mirage day in, day out.

Mirror reports further:

A young man who is desperate for work has told how he has applied for more than 400 jobs in two years but is still unemployed.
Jake Hopes says competition to find a job is fierce and he has been rejected by Pizza Hut, Asda and many other employers in and around Bristol.
The 23-year-old, who wants to become an actor, said he hasn't had any luck even though he has previous experience in retail and customer service.
Jake told Bristol Live that he applies for about four jobs a week and it can be crushing when he doesn't receive a response or reaches the interview stage and is told the role has been given to someone else.
He said he has previously worked at a cinema, in the kitchen of a pub, and in a shop.
He's been looking for similar roles for the last two years, but no-one has hired him for a permanent position.
Jake said he has found temporary employment in that time.
He said: "I didn't even get a job at Pizza Hut, somewhere you think hires most people.
"There's just so many people applying for one role, it's really tough.
"I need to earn money so I can fund a degree in acting.
"Without work I can't do that.
"I've been to quite a few interviews but most of the time I just don't hear anything back."
He added: "It's really frustrating.
"I spend a lot of time at home bored.
"I make sure I go out for walks but most of the time I don't leave the house. 
"I want to work.
Jake Hopes, 23-year-old still unemployed after 400 job applications in 2 years

"I really want to become a successful actor but I can't do that without money."
According to new figures released earlier this month, the number of people in work continues to reach near record levels, and the unemployment rate has fallen to its lowest level for more than 40 years.
Employment jumped by 99,000 in the three months to March, to 32.7 million, the third highest total since records began in 1971.
Unemployment fell by 65,000 to 1.3 million, continuing a general trend which started in early 2012.

#RamadanDailyDigest: What You Should Tell Troublemakers While Fasting

7 Greatest Sportsmen Of All Time

There are often arguments and counterarguments on who the 7 greatest sportsmen of all time are. Some sports historians, analysts, and supporters pick their own choices not necessarily on facts but emotions.  In picking the 7 greatest sportsmen of all time, I briefly checked their achievements not just in their specific fields but also their impact outside the world of sports. 1. Boxing legend, Muhammad Ali has been crowned the best sports athlete of all time in a star-studded list. The 'Greatest' is widely considered the best boxer in history and arguably the most iconic sports star of the 20th century.  Ali was not just a beauty to watch in the boxing ring, the greatest pugilist positively influenced decisions in many countries globally.  2. Pele is widely picked as the winner, and number one football player in history in all criteria. His three-time World Cup-winning feat, from four World Cup appearances, is unlikely to be matched. Pele scored a Guinness World Record of...

#RamadanDailyDigest: Significance Of Moonsighting & Commencement Of Ramadan

Ramadan Daily Digest, which is an annual article on the stable of Naijaloveinfo with hashtag, #RamadanDailyDigest will be discussing briefly the significance of moonsighting and the commencement of Ramadan. Ramadan, which is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar is the only month in which Muslims, the world over fast from dawn till sunset for 29 or 30 days. Allaah commands Muslims to fast as stated in some parts of Suuratul Baqara (chapter 2) of The Glorious Qur'an. The Glorious Qur'an is the first and most important book to all Muslims. For all the Islamic months, starting from Muharram (first month) to Dhul Hajj (12th month), the numbers of days in each of these 12 months are often 29 days and once in a while 30 days. The interesting thing about counting days is that the crescent (new moon) plays an important role. Therefore, the significance of moonsighting is the first consideration before starting the Ramadan fasting.  The question that could come up is why do Muslims co...
