So for some more information I’m 22 and been out of a job for two years now though not for lack of trying. Few months ago I’d gone in to apply at a cannabis dispensary in Canada and after two interviews and much speaking with the manager we decided I’d be hired on as a casual employee which while not preferable was better than no money at all. Well, two days before I’m supposed to start the manager calls me and tells me that she’s decided to hire someone ‘who needed less hours’ than I did. That was demoralizing.
Fast forward to today, another cannabis dispensary LITERALLY begged me to work there because they knew I had experience, am good in conversation and have a lot of first aid training. I Get everything together, gives me the employee discount, we discuss wage and benefits cause I was told I’d get to start out full time. Went in about four hours before this post was made and was told everything is all good they just needed something called a ‘selling-it-right’ which is just a course that teaches the guidelines for legal cannabis sale which I’ve already completed and just had to email to them. Got home feeling good about starting Monday aaaaaand… got an email that said they decided to hire two other people instead and that they were letting me go.
I’m 22 god damn years old and I’m already a failure. If it weren’t for the generosity of my grandmother I’d be on the streets because there is literally nowhere else for me to go and I have no money. I keep applying places I keep being told that the managers like me and that they all think I’ll be a great fit and then just nothing.
I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.
