I’m in the process of beginning my 1st job. It may not start for another 2 weeks. He wants to “help” me find a job in the meantime. I don’t WANT the asshole’s help! In poinmt of fact, his previous attempts to “help” me have only made my life WORSE! But does the SON-OF-A-BITCH care? FUCK NO!!! How do I get him to understand, when everyone around me (IRL) can’t seem to understand my problem with him, when it’s explained to them?
Is this person an English teacher by any chance?

“No, thank you.”
“But I’ll HELP you!”
“No, thank you.”
“I can get you a JOB!”
“No, thank you.”

At times like these the best option is to be more stubborn then he is. Everytime he offers a suggestion, just say no. If your worried about hurting his feeling then, well, it might be necessary. You might come off as the bad guy but so be it. In the long term at least he’ll stop bugging you.
Try talking to him like you talked to us. That should do the trick .
