I’m coming closer and closer to the day when finally the pain and misery of my life is greater than my ability to be able to cope with it.
I graduated college in 2007 with a Bachelor’s degree in Economics. Since then, I have applied to 1000s of positions. I can count the amount of just interviews I’ve had on two hands. I can’t even get hired on to bag groceries or work fast food.
I sleep on my parents’ couch. The only way I will ever get out of here is by dying. I have no money and as stated before absolutely no chance of finding employment. I’ve been trying everyday for 6 years to find something, anything.
So what am I supposed to do? What is the point of going on? People my age are married with kids, have careers, have homes. I sleep on my parents couch with not even a glimmer of hope of ever having a life.
I go to church every Sunday. I pray to God every day to help me. I’m not asking for some 6-figure job, all I want is to be able to work. Why won’t anyone hire me? Am I that worthless? Am I not capable of bagging groceries? How do people land the careers they do? I’ve tried and tried and tried and no one will help me. I’m don’t have much left in me. Sleep is the only thing I still enjoy. I want to go to sleep and not wake up.

Sorry you’re feeling stressed, but I understand. I have different issues, but I’m inching closer to the edge every day. I hope you can find some relief for your problems!
I’ve been trying to find a job for a couple years myself. I don’t understand what it is that makes some people be easily hired, while others are ignored.
Have you thought about volunteering somewhere? Perhaps if you have that on your resume, employers will think to give you a chance.
I hope that you can find work, and I wish you the best.
Most minimum wage jobs probably feel you are over qualified and most jobs in your field of study probably want experience and some work history. Have you tried a temp service? Maybe one that is geared towards white collar work rather than blue collar? I know temp services aren’t stable but at least you can build a resume with them. I would also suggest volunteering like Persephone recommended that is good to have. “Sometimes its not what you know but who you know”…..you might have to do some internships to at least get a foot in the door and build relationships with people that are willing to cosign for you.
Hi I don’t know why youre not getting hired but I’m sure it’s not your fault. Back when I was healthier I was trying to get a job just a minimum wage job like cleaning animal cages at the kennel or washing dishes, no one would hire me, no one would look at me, because I am disfigured. But I am an outstanding hard worker, adore animals, and instead they’d hire someone that looks good but doesn’t care about the animals and isn’t a hard worker. It’s pathetic but in my case it all boiled down to appearance. I know if I was pretty I would have had those jobs.
I do some work in the community all kinds of people hire me for animals’ babysitting because they know I am great, trustworthy with animals. I don’t know why that people in my own community are able to accept me and hire me whilst people in the workforce despise and ignore me. Their loss. guess they don’t deserve me.
God only knows why people aren’t hiring you but if possible look for little jobs in the neighborhood whilst youre seeking employment, you can build a good working reputation by doing jobs for people in your area, what are you good at?
If you don’t mind my asking, what do you mean by disfigured?
i have an extremely rare genetic disorder. the bones of my face are not properly formed, and the skin overtop the bones is abnormal, because my “instruction manual”, my genes, went all wrong. if you do a google search of progeria you will see people that look similar to me
