What's the point of being unemployed and job-seeking when all they do is send you an automated email saying that they've decided to move on to different candidates? That's BS. It takes time to fill out a job application, only to be told, 'We are not...

What is your field?

disturbedchicken · 31-35, F

@Cyclist customer service, warehouse work, and clerical. Not my field just experience.

Mmiker · 46-50, M

You are right. It is very tough. When that happened to me I just reminded myself that apparently that wasn’t the position for me.
I hope you get the right job for you, promptly.

disturbedchicken · 31-35, F

@Mmiker Thanks, I hope so too. It's just been really hard because the 1000+ jobs I've applied to keep rejecting me and they are for simple minimum wage positions.

Mmiker · 46-50, M

@disturbedchicken it’s extremely tough. And can feel very disregarding.

Did you apply for labour jobs such as working for Amazon warehouse? I didn't get a job in the office so I applied jobs through agencies in the industrial parks such as packing wine and parcel sorter. I didn't work long in those industries because those were temporary contracts but at least I got salary for a few months.

@Arrow17 From what I'm gathering, there are no jobs here where I live, which is the problem. And I can't afford to move anywhere else. There is an Amazon facility here but every time I check there is nothing available so I don't know what to do like do I have to start trapping lol jk

@disturbedchicken How about cruise ship?

disturbedchicken · 31-35, F

@Arrow17 I can't do that kind of work for now. I have to be in town due to personal reasons.

@disturbedchicken 🤔can understand your frustration with this the job market is a savage arena.disappointing as this is you cannot taake this personally keep your chin up and keep plodding away and applying for positions . patience is a virtue and you will come up with the goods in time if you perservere

Would you like to try to work in the cruise ship?
You can get 3 meals and about 2 hours break. But it is a very hard job.

My best advice is if you’re single use your emergency funds and consider moving to wherever the jobs are

Yes. The system is intended to work that way.

@disturbedchicken Oh yes, it's an absolute minefield. That is why I started freelance.

Do you want a referral for Artificial Intelligence Training? Remote work. You can do it as a side job. Just don't rely on it as your only job.

disturbedchicken · 31-35, F

@GeistInTheMachine Yes, that would be cool. If you could get me one.

GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M

@disturbedchicken I DMed you the referral link. All the best to you.

Word of mouth is your most reliable tool.

disturbedchicken · 31-35, F

@GohantheThird idk anyone like that.

GohantheThird · M

@disturbedchicken neither did I, but that's what happened for me!

disturbedchicken · 31-35, F

@GohantheThird Good for you it's not the same for everyone though.
