Turn Your Knowledge into Earnings.
My partner is at a stage in their life where they need to enter the world of work, but they don't know what type of job they want nor do they have the drive to make their mind up and search and apply independently. She is quite content to spend the rest of her life on the couch watching TV.
Moreover, she's dropped out of higher education multiple times. This means that the student finance system is unwilling to pay for her education. She's expressed an interest in studying for a masters degree, but can't articulate why or what subject even if there were funding available.
I've tried suggesting a number of areas where she could work. There are entry level marketing, finance and legal opportunities within a short commute that I think will be a suitable fit. She doesn't follow up on these suggestions, principally due to laziness.
I could just leave her to her own devices, but she will just rot on the couch for the rest of her life. If that's the choice she makes, then we're highly likely to break up.
All of this has led me to the unconventional suggestion of applying for jobs on her behalf. The applications I intend to make will be accurate representations of her skills and qualifications.
My question is, is it ethical to apply for jobs on a partner's behalf?
I'd say highly unlikely. You wrote:
she will just rot on the couch for the rest of her life
if left to her own devices. That clearly shows she does not want to get a job. Job application says she wants to get a job. Thus, any application would be a lie on that single most important point.
If you apply for her, you will be lying and wasting resources of innocent company and people - how could this ever be ethical?
If you want to "help" her, you need to change her attitude and her wants. I'm not a specialist in that matter. If you are not one, either, you may suggest her seeing one. Therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists can really do wonders these days.
Edit: we do not know what is the root of the problem. We cannot know it. We should not. There are specialists. We see effects that may be caused by something innocent or something mortal. We are not equipped to deal with it. Only qualified professionals are.
No matter what stage you're at in your education or career, TuteeHub will help you reach the next level that you're aiming for. Simply,Choose a subject/topic and get started in self-paced practice sessions to improve your knowledge and scores.
