Just counted my little sheet 11 interviews since mid October. (yes one month and a half!!) 13 if you count the two I cancelled. The job yesterday had 8 positions not just one it was a group interview and the people were a year or two younger with LESS experience. I have tried easy places..the last think I wanted to do was walk out my job last week but no wonder.
Ok so people have lots of interviews but 11 jobs? in a month or so? What a joke..I dress smart, read up on the job, answer the questions better than I did years ago. I am really stumped and angry. I have to make a phone call to the Job Centre now.
Ok it's a recession, other people are out of work..I've heard that for a year. So a uni student who can only work 20 hours for a customer service job is better than me? 5 years customer experience I have. I have ALL the skills. I don't know anybody with such bad luck..I'm a rare case a job where any 9 would get it and one doesn't. I applied to the obvious Mcdonnalds and never even got the interview there. (Oh this group interview..the uni student knew someone who worked there..oh they have the job then...still another 7 jobs no chance?
I'm sunk like the titanic...I'm low, I'm SOUL destroyed I could shout out loud right now..I can't relax. In all my 21 years this has to be one of my lowest self esteem points ever. I should have been allowed to leave my job with notice. I applied way before the recession for other jobs.
There's no positive words like others in the same boat. I'll give anybody a bet they don't know somebody whos been in work last month and had 13 possible interviews and got NONE!!! :lac: I am lost and totally ..can't say anymore. It's bad. :wacko:
