/hikki/ - NEET / Advice

I think I hit 8 months on my last resume gap. The real blows were getting turned down for entry level work at $10/hr. Not on drugs, have vehicle, and need money for bills isn't enough on this planet.

thanks for the post. sounds horrible i hope you get better anon



i wish i could calm down, i get nerve wracking despair, stomach stiffness and pain thinking i have no future anymore, n going to want to hire me with my cv. crying everyday in the mornings and evenings with some energy left to focus on something else in the middle if i can. i dont even know if i can handle entry/blue collar work im so useless. even then im too antisocial to collaborate well with other people. every day is hell

You need friends, someone inside who can get you a job. Finding shit on your own is almost impossible and very little rewarding.

This. Try to network and find people you can use as references. You might be able to sign up for volunteer work and that could be an extra boost that can help out a lot. Volunteer work looks good on resumes for two reasons: it shows you are active in the community (employers like this for obvious reasons related to company image) and it also helps connect you with a vast swath of resources. Alternatively, I don't know your particular situation, but take low paying menial jobs in the mean time to build yourself up. It sucks and will be hard but unforunately most employers look for experience more than anything else (to the point where even degrees can get thrown to the wayside). Getting employed, especially somewhere good, is a hard task but don't give up and believe in yourself. I believe in you.

hi, thank you for the post. it helps

I work in IT basic admin work. Live free with parents. in the past 5 years I've had 5 jobs, only one of them around a year and a half, the rest were short and with small gaps in between. so I think my CV looks chaotic without even this huge gap.

I got certified in some cloud around this year, trying to present my current gap as some sort of upskilling. But no energy/willpower to do demo projects

Still I barely got one interview in the past half year so far.

I'm panicking alot all day ruminating all day, have this increasingly all encompassing sinking, very suffocating feeling I've dug myself a permanent hole basically. I could've and should've not quit jobs so often, I chose to quit my last place when I could've stayed put, cant believe how stupid I am lol. Amazing.


all I'm thinking of is the likely chance I'll remain stuck in a low-level job like some sort of divine punishment (I try not to be an asshole with others but its hard). it's terrifying like I'm losing my mind

Soon I will try find any work with help from the state, better than doing nothing like you said I just really hope it's not forever. It's very hard for me to accept the potential embarassment but there's nothing I can do about it better accept it

Thank you again I desperately need some positivity
