I have been unemployed since age 18 (now 20). I have applied constantly for jobs since then and have had no success, while all my friends have and tbh it's starting to feel personal. One week last year I applied to 35 jobs in one day (i counted) and not a single one even told me I didn't have the job. This is humiliating and stressful and it just makes me feel depressed
I just wanted to rant. I hate this fucking hamster wheel of society we live in. I am a good worker and no one will fucking hire me
What can I do to even get a job in this fuckin hellscape
You know people, that's how you get a job. The next best thing is pretending or implying you know people.
Don't waste your time with those job search sites that list places that are hiring. The only places that actually hire through those are scams, those sites mainly exist so employers can pretend they are "equal opportunity".
I recommend looking up local businesses you think you wanna work at, and try to figure out if they are hiring. Apply directly on their website. Warehouse jobs are always hiring night shift, so they are a decent place to start if you really need a job.
If it's a small business, email or phone call may also work. But I generally don't recommend small business if you can help it. The pay sucks and you are more likely to have a boss that openly acts like a psychopath.
