I have officially failed 3 interviews in total, NEET. I can't even get a job at Walmart. I'm simply not capable of passing an interview or possibly even holding one of those jobs for a period of time.

What do? I'm feeling more and more inadequate every day.

Stop applying at shit-tier opportunities? They only tend to hire shit-tier people.

 No.11990

Keep applying if you want. It's not uncommon for people to search for a shit job for months. There are people with fancy big boy's school papers who can't get a position at McDonald's.
Or consider something else. Freelance, something online, unemployment benefits.

Only three? Shit, that's nothing. At least where I live, you have to appear truly passionate about stocking shelves in order to have a chance against people with limited educational opportunities who will take any job they can.

Don't be disheartened. You are not unemployable. You can make it. Or you can find a better way to earn money.

>just 3
That's fucking nothing.

Yeah, I applied for hundreds of jobs and had nearly 20 interviews before I got somewhere.

Its a difficult thing, but you have to just ignore the result and keep going every time. Just doing more interviews will see you become better at them (even if this mostly means "good at lying about how passionate you are about shitjob"). If you are still trying then you are not unemployable and eventually you will get something- but it can take many months. Its a bleak time but the key message really is don't give up. If you are trying, then you want to get there, and the inadequacy is in societies way of assigning labour, not you. Don't feel bad about yourself so long as you are filling your side of the bargain.

Also, places like Walmart can actually be really competitive because they are well known and get huge numbers of applicants. So while it is easy to think "I got rejected from shitjob, I am the shittest", its actually the case that some of those shitjobs at the well known chains are pretty competitive to get.

Just apply at as many places as you can. Hand outs dozens of resumes weekly and you will probably find a job in at worst a month or two. MAKE SURE you SHOW them you really want the job and you won't just blow it off, they constantly hire kids that just slack off or show up late/not at all so they'll want a responsible young man/woman.

As long as you look like you're able to work and dress and look normally minimum wage places will eventually hire you. I see high school kids all the time working in stores and fast food, and you have an advantage on them since I'm guessing you're free during the day time and even able to work night shifts.

Everyone can do it, just make it your full-time job to find a job. Good luck

I just gave up on going to university again…
It was a late decision but I would have to relocate ~800km without any help. I know I can't do it. I would fail after a month or so…

I just called my psychotherapist and am searching for a local "writing" related job. Something editorial and media related. With a future…

I am a little lost right now…
It would be incredible being respected again. Being able to talk to real people. I hope this might be the right path. I just don't want to break off again before even trying…

Ending every sentence with an ellipsis makes you sound very emotional…

Seriously though, shit sucks, but don't expect support from me. It sounds like you have failed yourself. I'd hate to give up without even trying.

>I know I can't do it.

What a disgusting attitude to have.

OP, it may seem like you're failing horribly at life for not continuing to go to school, but some people do need time off to collect themselves, and you should not feel bad about that at all. Gap years don't just exist for rich kids to party in Europe.
You might be ready to go back next year, or you might find something different that works better. Don't give yourself shit for finding your own appropriate life track. And, by God, DO give yourself credit for recognizing what your current weaknesses are, and working with them and to overcome them.

I, too, have been to many interviews, and failed them all, i usually lurk, but i was wondering if anyone knows any websites that i can get money from (pic; how i feel)

You'd have to be crazy to try and make a living from writing. Maybe try applying to a local library or bookstore instead?

 No.12277

>>12274
Its not that crazy. Newspaper/mag journalists are still a thing. You can even find jobs related to editing in factories and stuff.

I've had luck with temp agencies, I worked a bit seasonal. Sometimes the work site will hire you if they like you.

But I like my schedule to be empty so I usually dip out of a job after a couple of months.

 No.12520

Keep trying to get fast food and retail jobs. Eventually someone will hire you. If one place doesn't call you then keep sending in applications every month or so. If you have a interview and they don't call you after, you should call them back yourself and ask if you're hired or not after a few days.

Overnights at fast food places can be pretty chill. If you hate people I recommend trying to get on a night shift.
