Pushed to my limit job hunting

Got up this morning stupid early. Hair and makeup. Traveled an hour by bus and missed my second bus because the first was late. Had to take an uber from a random point in the city to get to my interview on time. Only for the lady to literally ask me 2 questions and then say “we'll be in touch”. I'm not even kidding. The entire meeting was the length of a tiktok video. Oh, and it's minimum wage with no guaranteed hours and no set schedule – just on-call. Why couldn't you tell me this on the phone? I asked her about this stuff on the phone and she said full-time starting at 18. So she's a liar and wasted my time, money, and energy. No benefits, no pension, no bonuses, no hours, nothing. “Just be available whenever we want at the drop of a hat and get paid…

No benefits, no pension, no bonuses, no hours, nothing. “Just be available whenever we want at the drop of a hat and get paid nothing for it. Oh and I couldn't be bothered tell you any of this on THE PHONE WHEN YOU ASKED.” I've been drinking gross black coffee and using leftover men's shampoo because I don't have enough money to go fucking grocery shopping. Just getting screwed over by all the damn employers in the city. One by one. I'm sick and tired of it. I don't deserve it! I have an amazing resume, strong education, great interview skills, open availability and can start right away.

Screw this. I know I'm valuable. Im going to start being extremely picky and getting answers to the big questions on the phone before I even agree to an interview. Its only been 3 weeks and I want to jump off a bridge. Job hunting is actual HELL. Fuck these people. FUCK THESE PEOPLE.
