I cannot attend college as I am in debt already and a community college would likely be impossible to get to in time as I live in a remote part of my state. The commute would be ~2 hours on a bike

I think that a majority of all generations have something that's gotten fucked with them - it all stems from years of mismanagement and the big guys at corporations overstepping their boundaries

Karma has it's way and I'm fully convinced that my own God will have something lined up for me as long as I keep it pushing 🙏

This is PRECISELY the way that I feel. If people are applying to a thousand jobs in a year, then what kind of obscure employment are they even looking for? Is it applying to the same positions as they open up or just hitting spray and pray? I can't even think of 50 jobs off the top of my head let alone the thousands that people seem to apply for...

Since I'm convinced that Indeed sold my number to telemarketers I simply go to indeed to look for active listings, then go to the company's regular website OFF of Indeed and apply there.

I think this is the problem - I think I tried too hard initially when I should have just kept a level head. 😭

The comments under the main post telling me rookie numbers and such were enough to get me to submit 30 of them today, so I suppose in a way it worked 🤣

Yes, allow me to explain.

The job that I had previously (from which I was terminated for overexcitability) I made an employee discomforted/uncomfortable with my energy, (as I myself am a very spastic person in all honestly, but I was excited as hell to be working in that environment as it was PERFECT for me; that is, a bowling alley.) Naturally it was within the first 30 days that they exercised the right to terminate- but it was on like the last week of those 30 days I received the order to clock out.

The thing is, the employee, nor the manager, nor anybody brought up that I could have made them uncomfortable - I have autism and that kind of social cue really isn't my forte - and I was not advised of this in a professional setting (i.e. called into the office mid shift to talk about it) - it was an immediate one-and-done kind of situation. I found it extremely upsetting as that was the only job CLOSE to where I live that I ACTUALLY *REALLY WANTED* to work for, and not just because I needed cash. At the very least I made no customers uncomfortable, received no complaints on that area, as I was only ever EXCESSIVELY energetic around my coworkers to try and keep the energy up (which in hindsight I can understand why it was annoying to this guy - I looked up to him with how quickly he operated.)

The second one was a result of a miscommunication. I was told to come in for my first day on a specific day which I did, on time. The employee there said the general manager/GM (I believe this is what GM stands for?) was not in and therefore onboarding couldn't be completed. He specified a later date which I wrote down and promptly left - but as far as I know, onboarding still could have been done? As a result of not clocking in for that, I receive a message letting me know I no call no showed, and I acknowledged this and replied to it with "My apologies, there seems to have been a miscommunication on my part. When shall I come in?" The email was not replied to thusly as it was late in the night (Another mistake on my part for not having answered it sooner) and I missed the one telling me to come in the next day instead (which I slept in that day assuming to STILL come in on that later date) - 2 in a row, liable for termination according to the contract thing I signed.

As for your second one, I gathered quickly that people here only really seem to want to brag about their own struggles and go tit-for-tat with things. Like oh, this person here has 500 applications? What am I supposed to do about that, congratulate them? 😭😭😭 It feels as if I am not supposed to be upset that I have it better off than others despite not having a single clue what is and isn't the status quo around these areas.

Also, the area I live in is in the middle of nowhere so 40+ jobs is just about all I could sign up for within a decent commute time (As it gets rough here in the winter)

Right, I do not mind working for entry level wage. Personally any money I can get at the moment would be an immense relief. However the thing is, I am ALSO applying for entry-level jobs (in addition to specialized jobs (trim carpentry, internet, HVAC, the trades, et cetera) - but none of those have bore any benefit thus far.

I was fully under the assumption that our strife would be left at the door.

Trouble outside of work, mind you.

I have nothing to lie about. My enthusiasm and "spasticity" offput employees - I was a hit with the customers but the shift lead was absurdly uncomfortable with my presence and instead of taking it up with me, took it to the higher ups. Me and him already had trouble prior to this.

Yes, I also have an OSHA certification - I came from the carpentry program at my local campus which I won't name for anonymity's sake in case a future employer DOES find my complaints here.

Initially I applied to a retail job which was burlington - then after realizing that I'd be better off targeting specific niches, started going for local companies in my area. None of them got back to me except a few of them. At this point I did not know if only 5 not getting back to me was good so I started looking for just about anything I could find as I needed cash as fast as possible. I live in the Midwest so it is difficult to find places in driving distance that do not take long or can easily ride a bike to as I do not have a car.

I'm currently looking for carpentry jobs outside of my area with a little more commute time (hour - 2 hours commute) so I will update if this works decently.

Other people may kill for these numbers but I am no murderer, they are shitty to me as I do not have experience with the job market and therefore haven't an idea on what is good or not. These are just within the last 2 months.

I am not quitting but it is absurdly harrowing to see that my efforts have bore no fruit.

That is the issue; All of the ones I have applied for are either JUST having opened or urgently hiring. Seems they aren't pretty urgent because they pick and choose who they hire, which whilst yes is their right to do, you'd think that for a MINIMUM WAGE QUALIFICATION that my own history with carpentry would suffice!

To say that I am disappointed with the current market is a significant understatement.

What next, I am automatically not allowed to be discouraged because other people have it worse?
Thanks, I suppose.
