i just wanted to rant about how fucking awful this job market is and the stupid 'no one wants to work' ideology. i have applied to hundred upon hundreds of jobs and even the most basic retail and food service jobs that “nobody wants” won't hire me. i have tried going in person and asking, but they all tell me to apply online anyways. i dont want to work for min wage but i have no choice. i currently don't have a degree because i cannot afford college even with the provided services and at this point in time i do not think it's beneficial for me to go into debt if 4 years later i will still be stuck in this same spot except with debt hanging over my head.
i do have previous experience before and have done internships, my resume is not bad for someone in my position (i had a chance to review with someone who works in hr and does a professional resume work). i have done the “tricks and tips” offered, ive changed up how ive written my cvs and my answers as to why i want to work there, but nothing. just rejection after rejection or the worst, getting ghosted
sometimes i dont even know what i did wrong, the interview seemed to go well and when i ask for criticism it's just 'you were fine, we just had someone else have more experience' how am i supposed to work with that? i need a job to get experience but no one will hire me?? im underqualified or overqualified or the jobs that i apply for are all scams. people keep telling me to go get a job… BUT IM TRYING??? I DONT WANT TO JUST DO NOTHING EITHER???
im at my wits end. i dont know what to do.
