After endless back and forth with a damn AI chat bot and irrelevant test for about a week, I finally got scheduled for an in-person interview. Looking forward to it because it’s a really easy near minimum wage entry level retail job and was confident that I would at least have a positive interview. It has been MONTHS and I am desperate for any job at this point so I have been applying for entry level jobs and tailoring my resume to select applications to not make me seem “overqualified”.

Well, the interview has been canceled and my candidacy has been rejected on top of that. Assuming they found somebody else sooner or the hiring manager actually reviewed my application and figured I was still overqualified but to cancel within 20 hours is just gross and not even get the CHANCE to speak to a human about myself and experience. But I guess better than going through multiple rounds

I think I’ve finally reached my breaking point. All of these applications, speaking with hundreds of robots and actual human recruiters who function like robots to not even reach a hiring manager or meet PEOPLE! WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO PEOPLE CONNECTING WITH F**KING PEOPLE??? I’ve went into establishments to show face and drop off my resume and it’s “Just apply online, It’s EaSieR…”, countless interviews have been canceled last minute or rejected after so much time and effort into honestly rigorius application processes. I am over it. I don’t even know if it’s me or whatever else.

I’m going to have to vacate my apartment soon and probably live in a shelter which will make things more difficult. I can barely afford groceries, utilities and rent are higher than ever. Why is this my life??? Why is this LIFE??? I follow the law, I went to college, I work hard and I’d like to think I’m well liked. What did I do to deserve this??? Can I PLEASE get some good Karma. PLEASE. I have such little hope.
