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

    Yes definitely lie, say you're doing gig work right now and for the last year. There is no one to call to confirm your "employment " super easy to bullshit and has the benefit of making you seem like you are self motivated and actually work

      I used self employment a few times historically. You can literally make up whatever the hell you want and employers, especially small companies, will eat that shit up because they are self employed themselves and probably are only a few years away from the time when they were just a 1 person business themselves.
