Summary/Abstract: Over the last decade, the state system of employment has been undergoing a continuous process of reformation, which has started with a change in the attitude towards the “unemployed” – the unemployed person has start to be thought as a “client” and hence all services that were subsequently methodically developed and introduced into the system are aimed to serve his individual interests and needs. But the willing the client to feel more comfortable with his position as an unemployed person, as well as the interpersonal crises occurring in the institutional space to be controlled, remains unrealised and all this is materialising permanently in a morbid environment of “... nervous atmosphere”, “falseness”, “hostility”, “boredom” and “failed relations” (Deyanov, Sabeva, Petkov 2013). In order to get to the essence of the described problem, I will first analyse the practical experience of taking the position of both an unemployed person and a helping professional. As a next step, I will try to detect those "vicious" places in the relationships and interactions between them that give rise to the above described social pathology. Last but not least, I will try to observe if the socioanalysis can be placed in the employment system field, which is permanently marked by persistent manifestations of the unsound relations between the unemployed person and the helping professional, who inevitably appear to be agents or contractors of these relations.
