Floating through space
Today i received the call back from a job offer and…i didn’t get the job (not surprised). But it still hurts tho.
Not getting [fill in the blank] is a re-occurring theme in my life! I don’t get the job…i don’t get the college course…i don’t get the support i need…i don’t get the loving home i’ve always wanted…and i don’t get the love interest </3
I try so hard but it feels like i’m not going anywhere…as if i’m just floating through the cold and pitch black depths of space with no direction to point towards. I always hear people tell me how talented i am…intelligent i am…how good of a person i am…how good looking i am…yet i’m jobless, i have no education and i’m chronically single!
These last 8 months i’ve tried so hard to get the education, get the job and get the girl but with no success. I feel like there is no end in sight…i’ve always felt like i was meant to end my life sooner or later (perhaps sooner).

hey, they called you back, they didn’t have to. My last job prospect just straight ghosted me, no idea where they are on hiring. Just had to let it go, because it really is their problem.
Don’t take it personally. A few years back I left my previous company and was desperate for a new job. I did a number of interviews and frankly there were a couple of places I didn’t really want to work at anyways.
Then I lucked out, I got a job through an agency for a large company that were hiring a lot of people. Fortunately for me my skills matched the job well and I’ve been there over 2 years now.
So if you’re having trouble on your own, definitely call emp. agencies, they can also help you with your resume and interview skills. Hopefully you’re not getting too personal in the interview.
Also keep in mind you have to do a bit of self-selling as well. A good, positive, go-getter attitude helps. Even if you feel horrible inside, just put on an act-I was going through a rough time in my life when I did the interview but I put it aside and it worked out.
You might have to do numerous interviews until you land a job. Most people go through this, sending out hundreds of resumes, getting a few meetings and if you play your cards right you’ll succeed. Also try to aim for a job which matches your skills, if you aim too high then you reduce your odds.
Also desperate times call for desperate measures, go for a lower end job if it’s easier to get so you have an income in the meantime and then keep looking for something better after, a lot of people do this until they’re in the field they want to work in.
Hey, whatever happened to the girl you gave a flower to after Valentine’s Day? Keep your head up though, something will turn up. As a previous commenter posted, try to sell yourself. I’m not good at doing this myself, but when you’re being interviewed for a job, it’s kind of something you have to do. Don’t lie, but make sure they have a reason to hire you. Let them know your strengths. Be honest about your weaknesses, but don’t bring up all of them, or what you struggle with on a day-to-day basis. Be honest, and as cliche as it may sound, things will work out for the best. At least, that’s what I’m told anyways. I’m not sure of all that is true that I wrote, but I would love to be encouraging. I always find your posts very fascinating, as I can relate to them. Except for, people don’t always tell me that I’m good looking. Haha.
