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

    I've used fake references before to help out. Get a friend, or your dads buddy, or your burnout neighbour. Ask them if they want to be a reference, and give em a rundown on what it was. I've "worked" at everywhere from scrapyards to tow-truck driver to medical clerk according to my buddies dad. Just make sure you can "prove" the skills you have by having general knowledge of the jobs.
