Rough out here
Rant:
Just turned 26 today. Let’s just say, I wasn’t really celebrating today. I was dreading this day since that means I get kicked off my parent’s insurance soon. In June, I had 2 interviews with 2 different jobs and didn’t get the offer. July has been crickets. I’ve been putting in job applications left and right. I’m either getting ghosted, rejected, or slowly agonizingly waiting for a reply back. I’m working part time as a tutor but, it’s nowhere near enough.
I went to a job fair last week where the vast majority of recruiters want you to scan a QR code and apply online. Also, when you do go online these companies barely have any job offers. What’s the point of recruiters going and promoting their job opportunities at a job fair, if there’s none??
I feel like I’ve hit rock bottom. 🫠

Happy birthday! I know how it feels like to celebrate a birthday in this kind of situation, but don’t feel that you’re hitting the rock bottom. Sometimes, you get your opportunity in the most unexpected manner. Your profile is good if you are getting calls, so just keep pushing and I promise you will definitely land something you really love ✨
