It's really making me start to reevaluate whether it's even WORTH getting a job anymore.
I have been a SAHM to my two kids for 5 years now, and living with my in-laws for 1.5 years, and am looking to re-enter the workforce to have some sort of purpose again beyond feeling like a nanny to my own kids.
I've put in hundreds of applications, remote work, retail, call centers, food service, waiting tables, and no matter how hard I try, no matter how many interviews I get and go to, no matter how many times I think I do well, it's never enough. I dress appropriately, when I wear makeup I make sure not to overdo it, I research the company I'm applying and interviewing for, I ask interested follow-up questions.
Is it even really worth it to keep trying?
Note: I know this isn't really the right sub for this, but I needed to rant somewhere because it is eating me inside, and my family just shrugs it off as if it's no big deal.
