What the hell is going on in the job market? I'm desperately searching for a job and am doing about 10 meaningful apps a day with stupid, stupid cover letters and trying to shill myself out as best I can. I haven't gotten a single human response the entire time- only a few automated rejection letters that I can't even respond to to ask why I was rejected.
I'm about to lose everything. My credit score (which is also bullshit) has tanked, and I'm exhausted. Even god awful customer service jobs aren't responding.
So many of these jobs have the gall to even require a Bachelor's for 22 or less an hour. I'm trying to finish school, but need money to do so, so I need a job, and it's just one big awful horrifying cycle that leaves me feeling like I've wasted my 20s panicking. I don't know if my nerves will ever recover. I'm so stressed literally all the time about money, I can't even sleep properly anymore. I don't even know what I'm asking for or posting this for, I just can't keep this in my own head for a second longer. I need help, and no one will. I don't know how to navigate this system. My parents didn't teach me shit except to 'work hard', whatever that means in this day and age.
I'm so scared for my future and the future of anyone else going through a job search right now. What can we even do?
