In today's climate, there are more people than necessary in many areas and the employment problem of college students is especially serious. I wrote an article in March titled [Job Hunting "Forrest Gump" Traverses Whole America Daniel Seddiqui] to share with everyone. Today, I have found another interesting job hunting case. A 46-year-old British man has been unemployed since 1983. During this period, he kept studying but still could not find a job after sending out 300 job applications. He was unemployed for 26 years and has recently been finally hired. His tenacious spirit is worth learning from by us young and able people. Evans once worked as a clerk in a steel plant which went bankrupt when he was 20 years old, and thus began his long process of unemployment. Over the years, Evans applied for various jobs including restaurant workers, accounting clerks, and manufacturing workers, approximately 300 in total, among which only 100 received a response.
