Hello everyone. I am 21 years old, I live in Italy (richest region of Italy) and I have two qualifications:
– Higher diplomas in computer science
– V level diploma in digital marketing. (ITS)
I have been unemployed since I finished school. I have not received offers and am looking for. I went to companies to leave my CV not only are they rude, but they seem to be bothering them. Most do not accept them and say to send them on the site and then of course they do not respond. 🙂
I have always wanted to work and I have also worked in certain cases (when I had no lessons), but only because I had the right contacts. Now that I am alone I am not finding anything, I go to companies where they search digital and they don't answer me, I go to other companies where they accept people without experience and they don't answer me, I go to companies where I have the required skills and I don't they respond.
I am very sad and disappointed because the desire to work is there but I am not finding anything, I am thinking that it is my fault but the curriculum is well done:
- I asked for opinions from people in the sector and it is done with Europass
- I have a high school diploma in computer science and a V EQF diploma -I have some work experience and I am young.
- I did not send the CV at random, I sent it when the requirements were in line with my ability.
I have always been a happy and motivated person but for the first time I am experiencing disappointment and sadness. I'm eating very little and skipping all meals. I'm leaving reading, sports and my passions behind. I'm down in the dumps. I have lunch at 15/16 with what's left and skip dinner. I am leaving the house only to waste gas and leave the CVs in the hope of being contacted.
The worst thing is that I see friends with specialists and with degrees working in restaurants and as salesmen. Absolutely jobs to be respected but they are on demand contracts, underpaid and not in line with what they have studied. They too complain about this. And above all they found those jobs for the “uncle” or “dad” who has a friend there.
I do not think in the least that the entrepreneur is bad and asshole, but for those I worked they had the car for 50 thousand euros, motorcycles for more than 20 thousand euros and several times he went to tropical areas by the sea with his family while I in those days they work for a short time.
My confidence is minimal and I honestly don't know what to do. I have always believed that the solution was abroad, but if I can't find anything here, how can I think of finding it abroad?
Am I in the same situation? It's my fault? What can I do? I see job offers in the IT world and in digital marketing but they all ask for at least 4 years and how does a 21 year old have 4 years of experience?
The saddest thing is that I see people who love to work for a short time, people who love to get DEBT because you have to “train” and work. I see people and parents who get into debt because “the child has to learn to work”, get into debt to make a rich man rich ..
I see everything black.
P.S
25% of the under 35s in Italy do not work and do not study, many work illegally without rights and for 500 euros a month and the “lucky ones” take an average of 1300 euros (which is the average salary and the salary to end up on the street in to sleep :))
- How is the situation with you?
- What can I do?
- What are your stories?
Thanks for reading and for the beatiful community love and success to all.
