I've started replying to job postings during my exam season in late june (I live in europe).
So far I've sent out around 500/600 job applications, mostly replying to postings in my city, then nearby cities as well.
Aftet 2 months of looking for a job non stop, NOT A SINGLE PHONE CALL.
The only word back that I've gotten was a single automated rejection e-mail from KFC. I'm just so tired.
The “nobody wants to work” mentality is as strong as in the US, most of the jobs advertise themselves as student friendly. I'm a normal guy with some work experience in a small fast food chain and still, noone wants me.
What the fuck?
