I had a job. The company didnโt realize that they actually had to sell product to stay in business. Almost all of the workforce was let go or furloughed. Iโve been unemployed for over a month now.
Iโve filled out dozens upon dozens of job apps, starting even before I lost my job. I have my resume public on job listings sites for employers and hiring agencies to find, and Iโve sent my resume to employers and hiring agencies directly. I look through the listings on job boards for each day, mostly limiting my search to a wage that would allow me to make ends meet at home. Iโve solicited and implemented advice from resume design experts. Iโve had one in-person interview, a few preliminary phone interviews, and a couple of message conversations between recruiters and myself. The one in-person interview I had would not have paid enough for my monthly expenses and I was overqualified for the position; they decided against hiring me. I had another interview scheduled and confirmed via a hiring agencyโs AI text bot and a human agentโs text; I drove to the scheduled interview place and time and they had no idea that I was supposed to be interviewed. All other communication has either been flat-out rejection or just left me hanging.
I have a Bachelorโs of Science degree from a top 25 ranked university in the US. I have no criminal record. I do have multiple disabilities but they are generally mitigable enough to not affect my work. I have references of my (now) former boss and a (now) former coworker who both praise my impact and aptitude in the factory and office workplace. Iโm evidently overqualified for positions that donโt require higher experiences and Iโm underqualified for nearly everything else; I canโt get experience in most niche or broad fields because nearly every position requires these experiences to have already been met. I try to follow all the invisible rules of applying and social etiquette. I am too physically ugly to sell my body. It feels like thereโs always been a magical aura about me that makes people dislike me no matter how much I try to do the ethically or socially right thing. How am I supposed to get an income to survive?
I love how everyones advice here is pretty much โjust lieโ. Really says somthing about our society hey.
Corruption is the standard. If you arenโt playing it, you arenโt playing.
