This job hunt is pissing me the fukk off now. Why doesn't anyone want to hire me?

[Rawtid]

I don't have a car or bike. And I ran out of stuff to sell/pawn. I was going to start an e-bay store to get rid of some of my kicks...but me thinks there's no market for skated up Nike Dunk Sbs so I gave up on it.

Shyt, I was even thinking about selling weed. It's that bad. I'm not trying to ask my family for money...even though they have, I just hate doing that. I expected to be making my own money and doing my own thing...not still unemployed and asking them for money at almost 30. It makes me sad and mad.

I interned during college. Maybe I should reach out to them at Pitt to hook me up. If push comes to shove, I'll just move back to Shyttsburgh (and that's something I don't want to do).

Well you picked a pretty weak major as well. What type of job did you expect to get with that degree? Degrees are good, but a lot of them just aren't useful...not in today's economy. During school you should have been interning at least every summer to have something lined up by graduation. Does your family own their own business? Perhaps you could do social media marketing for them. You could also talk with some small businesses about marketing via social media.

1. Military may not "be for you", but neither is being broke. They'll get you experience and free money for college. For every 10 military personnel, 1 is on the battlefield and the other 9 are in support positions.
2. UPS IS ALWAYS HIRING, i used to be a manager, was my first "corporate" job out of college. They hire pt loaders year round cuz its back breaking work and people quit daily. But after a couple years you become full time, and get $24/hr to do nonsense, like drive a cart.
3. It's never too late to learn a trade, go to an official trade school, or if you young enough join jobcorps.

Dont expect to get any job off the internet tho, it's either nonsense, or done just because you have to act like you searched outside candidates before you promote from within. HR has datamining programs that prescreen and sort out resumes, so if you taylor your resume to that specific position might have better luck.

1. Considering how my thought processes can fall into the category of "apolitical" and "borderline tinfoil hat crazy" (LOL), I just don't think that atmosphere would be a good fit for me. Honestly, I don't want to be in that type of environment. It really conflicts with my thought processes and personality.
2. I'd like to do that...I just need to get a new ID.
3. I'd like to learn to be a plumber or an electrician. Atleast those are in demand. I just don't want to go back to school. I don't have the money for it and I figure I have more than enough skills to make some money.

I just wanted to get the hell out of college and never come back. It took me ten years to get one degree between transferring over from three schools and losing credits. I hated the environment, couldn't stand the people, and it took every ounce of energy within me just to even get to class. Honestly, I just wanted to DJ and make music. I still want to. I want to do design. I originally went to school for graphic design and then switched to that when I left college because PITT doesn't have an arts program.

And TBCFH, I didn't even care about college. My folks never stressed it and I never had an awareness of it. My family even picked the first college that I went to (which was absolutely terrible). I don't want to go back to school. EVER. I'm going to get my dreams off the ground if it kills me! As stubborn as it sounds, this was the moment in my life that I've been waiting for! Nobody telling me what to do. Nobody trying to guide my life in a path that suits THEIR interests. No one to answer to except myself. I WILL SUCCEED AND I WON"T LET HATERS OR REALITY KILL MY DREAMS!

Windows

Awful degree. I basically have the same thing. Media jobs don't pay shyt and the hours are terrible. I worked at a TV station and my sleep schedule was fukked up for years. I couldn't even sleep straight through the night on my off days.

What was your job?

 

[ProfessionallyTrill]

ATL huh well ive been here right at a year and i start my 4th job since ive been here on the 22nd. matter fact ive turned down a couple jobs also. what type of work u tryna get in?

Anything really. My previous job was as a Financial Analyst but it was a contract. My major is in Business Administration.

Everything is all good during the initial phone interview and my in person interviews are perfect. Not sure wtf the problem is but I dont ever see any faces that look like mine. Maybe it's b/c most of these jobs have been in the suburbs (Alpharetta, Mableton, etc)

I dont know breh, everything we suggest you got an excuse for. Maybe you should set up a website called imakeexcuses.com and charge people to make excuses for them.

What was your job?

Production assistant. Didn't bother trying to move up because nothing paid well and the hours were still trash. Almost everyone was miserable at the station.

I have a friend who loved it though and actually works for ESPN now.

I'm trying to avoid city or federal positions honestly. I feel with the stuff that's out there about me online (even though I have no criminal record), even if I did get hired I would probably get fired eventually. And honestly, I just don't think I could stand that work environment and the people in it. I don't think that's a good fit for me...even though I'm just about having a job now as a means to an end.

My roommates have told me that I should just go in person to places and pass out resumes. It works for them. For me? No. I've tried it. They probably have looked at me afterwards like "who are you?" and just throw my resume out in the trash.

What in the fukk do you be doing on the internet breh

LOL! If that comes off as making excuses...all apologies. I have taken the serious options that you have made (which I am very thankful for) and I am going to go through with them to the best of my ability (UPS, working a trade). I just really consider what's doable now and what I'm willing to do given my situation (financially, etc).

Also, I tend to overthink alot, so whatever seems like excuses might just be me thinking why I don't think it would be for me compared to someone else. It's not like I'm not willing to work. I'm a hard worker. I show up to work early. I always get stuff done. I'm not afraid to be helpful and put my input whereever it's needed. It just sucks to feel like no one wants to give me a chance. Like all that work I did just to be at this point wasn't worth it. But I refuse to give up.

What in the fukk do you be doing on the internet breh

It has to do with my tumblr. I'm not involved in anything indecent, but sometimes I tend to think with the abundance of NSFW content on there, someone (more than likely a higher up) might not take too kindly to it.

You're the same age as my brother. He's also trying to find his way.
