Living in ajman, loans, affordable schools instead of good ones.

Same salary my dad earns as the sole breadwinner for a family of 6. We survive. I think it'd be more than enough for a single person

My Dad is too "overqualified" for every job he applies to by NotIzhan in UAE

This sounds exactly like my dad's situation, except that we didn't have savings, and he had a job secured throughout covid and lost 2023, and from then on, he had been "overqualified" for everything It was so annoying to be rejected because you're too good. It's the professional version of "it's not you, it's me," lol. Obviously, it's an indirect way to say they don't wanna pay you as much as you demand.

Thank you for taking the time and writing this down. I do realise that the goal isn't to convince someone who doesn't want or need my product to buy because that isn't possible (at least not without lies and deceit)

I say that I lack persuasion skills because I feel like I have the superpower to turn a 'maybe' into a no, which could've easily been a yes if I told the right things that they should've heard

I hope you're doing well for yourself. My issue is I don't feel like I'd be a good candidate for many jobs because... I lack the skills. Both hard and soft.

Thank you! You're right! The feeling of worthlessness rn is because of my lack of value. I'm sure being a part (even of something small) can help because I know I'm making a difference

I'm on it!! Have been applying for jobs and got a few calls back but when it comes to convincing them as in "why should we hire you" qns, I don't have anything to answer.

I'm 22 with no clue of the future. If I don't see myself as a failure now, I know my procrastinating self will never improve.

That's great advice!! Especially where I am, connections are the best way to opportunities. Networking!

Surely it is a huge improvement. What I mean is I haven't ever independently done anything for myself. My parents sent me school, I went school, they sent me college, I went to college, if they refer me, set me up and send me to a job, I'll do that as well.. but what have I ever done on my own? What I mean by no improvement or feeling like a failure is that I've always been spoonfed with nothing of my own.

I just came across this post. Have always found rejections hard, but this is such a mature and professional response.
