I just feel so hopeless about myself, and I've just had enough. If it wasn't for my mom I'd have killed myself already, but I could never put her through that. I'm a university graduate from a well recognised school, have had several jobs in the past where I always did well. I used to consider myself a very bright person, full of potential. I had dreams and goals, and hope. I gave those up the moment I realised I had no real potential.
I've applied for over 200 jobs in the last month. Nothing. Interviews at about 5/200 that went no where. I'm applying for entry level work. I'm applying for anything I can find. I long ago gave up of finding a job I'd actually enjoy, now I simply need some income. Nothing.
I've worked hard for everything I've had in my life, nothings ever been handed to me. I've worked since I was 16, I've never not had a part time job. I paid for my own education and worked long hours and late nights at horrible jobs just to get by. I've never had a break, I've never had something handed to me. I thought that would help me in the future. I guess not.
All around me people are starting careers. When I asked them how they found the job they respond "my uncles company" or "my dad's the executive". Ha. Must be nice. My dad just got laid off.
I want to keep trying but after today (and another embarrassing rejection) I'm giving up. I have no future, there's no point to me being here anymore. Once my mom is gone I will go too; me not wanting to hurt her is the only reason I'm still alive. I hate myself and I hate who I'm becoming; a nobody. | |
What's the saying- the "SQUEEKY MOUSE" gets the CHEESE? In anycase, you've just graduated from college- a good one, and it's only a matter of time, before someone's going to give you that opportunity, that you are searching for-
Don't give up! Be a fighter. Fight for what you want in your life- and go get it!
You've got your mum and your dad and they must be super proud of you? Talk to them- and they will support you...
Eventually, with determination, you will land a job! It may not be ideal, but at least it will get you started on that successful path towards a career that you will enjoy...
Give it time-
Be patient-
Good luck!
Cursed
don't let this get you down. or let getting a job be all your self worth is cuz really lots of people out of work right now. and you have to learn to be patient and to find other things to occupy your time. try internships just to get your foot in the door. work out. volunteer. go to the library. career fairs. networking. find others who are unemployed in your area and reach out to them as people who are going through the same thing. you are a college grad and a lot of people do not even have their degrees. so be lucky for that and have the support of your family. do not give up. and realize that you are not the only who has had to work for everything. not everyone gets lucky breaks. i wish you luck.
The only difference is that my mom doesnt rly care much for me and my dad is taking life easy and doesnt get bothered by anything and says that i worry about things too much...
Dude... seriously... dont give up... i mean not just for your mom but for people around the world like me and you. Give us hope cuz people need to reassurance that good things happen to good people sooner or later ... and that good guys dont always finish last...
Hang in there dude
I hope things get easier for you, and me. That we find work. This overqualified/underqualified is bs....
I feel the same way you do.
