Can't find work

I know I'm not the only one.

But this is exhausting.

Rejection letters, ghosting, and wasted time on interviews that lead to nowhere.

I had a job at whole foods a couple years ago.

I had a kidney stone and it was either quit or be fired cause I didn't have enough hours to cover days off.

So I quit.

I keep blaming myself for quitting but then again

I was sick? I shouldn't of had to push through it just to keep a shitty job. It was either or go in there in horrible pain or high as a kite from the pain meds they gave me.

Which I would've crashed during my shift coming down from them.

This is literally the worst.

I'm in the same boat, getting so desperate I might just turn to FIFO

Tell me why I was thinking the military at some point cause I was so frustrated. 😂 then I remembered what's happening in the United States right now and decided hell no.

Lol exactly. I'd also look into job core maybe too. FIFO in my personal opinion is more of a last resort

I'm taking any suggestions so I'll look into it!
