So job hunting has been very difficult for me after the pandemic. I was able to find work somewhere in 2021, but then was let go earlier this year. I was able to find another job earlier in October, but I was let go because my new employer had a problem with me following up with my doctor on my probation period.
Since then I have struggled to find work in the pandemic, either because I don't have the “experience” even though I've been working in the industry for 5 years, while going to college full time.
On top of struggling to find a job, I am forced to live with my family who are very abusive and toxic. There's always been a lot of DC in our home. The police has been called in multiple times. My parents would randomly kick me out of the house whenever they had a meltdown while I was going to college, and it definitely affected my grades.
I was hoping by the time I graduated in 2020, I would try to work 2 jobs so that I could save enough money to leave. But then the pandemic hit. Now there's supposedly a recession and nobody's hiring or I'm getting ghosted on job applications.
A lot of my friends say they live with their parents due to the cost of living, or are just making it by because they're in a relationship. Anybody else in my shoes? I'm only 25.
