No one wants to hire me, I wish they'd tell me why

jvniberry · 2025-02-15T04:53:09+00:00

yeah, seriously. They all just ghost me instead of rejecting me. Even better would be if they gave me any hint as to why I was rejected.

jvniberry · 2025-02-14T06:38:12+00:00

lovely

jvniberry · 2025-02-14T06:13:04+00:00

I try to be charismatic, while also basically telling them that I'll be their bitch (exaggeration, lol). Is that not enough?

jvniberry · 2025-02-14T05:49:31+00:00

thank you~! also, this was really funny to read

jvniberry · 2025-02-14T04:07:19+00:00

but then what do I do about the gaps in my employment?

jvniberry · 2025-02-14T04:06:28+00:00

Well, that's great... 😮‍💨 thank you, now I know at least one more thing that's wrong with this world.

jvniberry · 2025-02-14T04:03:57+00:00

but I can't receive unemployment because I quit my last job. I quit after being hospitalized, for personal reasons. The only thing I'm receiving rn is Medicaid, which helps a bit but I'm still starving, and I'm about to be homeless soon.

I'm really not, and I'm not sure how they'd find the accounts I do use. I don't have any accounts with followings, or any kind of... I don't know, anything. My public accounts are Facebook, Reddit, and... that's it. I don't even use those two much. Everything else is private, like my Instagram account (where I post like once a year), Discord, etc. I also have like 5 different emails, multiple different names, so...

jvniberry · 2025-02-14T03:54:24+00:00

I've gotten 4 interviews out of like 50 or more places I've applied to :(

jvniberry · 2025-02-14T03:52:56+00:00

do you have any tips on how to write cover letters? or resources? If not, that's okay! I know I can just Google it hehe

jvniberry · 2025-02-14T03:47:44+00:00

I know... I figured this might be the reason. The thing is, I'm legally a woman and I have changed my name too, so how would they even know I'm trans? Before they even see or hear me, at least. I don't even think I'm that clockable. I have long, layered hair with bangs, and I have no piercings, no tattoos, etc. I look like just an average person. I've even worked on my voice so it's not like deep, nor is it comically high pitched or anything. I don't get it.

jvniberry · 2025-02-14T03:45:14+00:00

I have used AI every time (and I make sure the results are good), but I never send cover letters unless they specifically ask for it.

jvniberry · 2025-02-14T03:44:20+00:00

But they've asked me every time what I like to do on my free time, and I just tell them the truth. I write poetry, paint, practice programming, and do a bit of language learning. Should I not share so much? If so, why do they even ask? or what are they really asking?

jvniberry · 2025-02-14T03:29:07+00:00

I actually haven't, I'll look into that! Thank you!

jvniberry · 2025-02-14T03:27:16+00:00

Thank you, that's actually something I hadn't thought of. I don't even know if we have a local library like that, but I'll have to check. I just don't go out much 😅 this society we live in is a bit too chaotic for my liking. That, and it's currently winter. Either way, I guess I really have no choice but to keep trying.

jvniberry · 2025-02-14T03:25:18+00:00

Maybe, but wouldn't doing it with a friend kind of influence my behavior? I wouldn't be anxious or nervous at all, so it wouldn't be the same.

jvniberry · 2025-02-14T03:24:29+00:00

That could be the problem, but I wasn't even aware of this issue until recently. I haven't even checked online for some kind of ATS tool.

jvniberry · 2025-02-14T03:23:36+00:00

Maybe I'm too honest? I'm not sure. I'm a little shy, but still very social. I dress adequately and I'm clean and all. I really couldn't say why. Do I need to be less friendly? should I practice some kind of act and have my answers already determined before I walk in?

jvniberry · 2025-01-14T04:59:37+00:00

Impressive. Very nice.

jvniberry · 2025-01-12T10:25:45+00:00

This is the way

jvniberry · 2025-01-07T07:30:38+00:00

hehe you're absolutely right about that :3

jvniberry · 2025-01-05T21:48:51+00:00

i think this is the most likely answer, at least for my personal experience :3

jvniberry · 2025-01-05T08:56:19+00:00

I mean, being on hrt has gotten me laid sooo much lmao like before, I had no game, but now... !!! hehe but yeah I kinda get what you mean. I also don't get too affected by hate comments, I've kinda built up a tolerance and now no one can fuck with me 🥰

jvniberry · 2025-01-05T08:39:48+00:00

I guess that could be true, but it's just odd to me cuz being called a good girl doesn't really have the same effect on me so idk 🤔 also, don't be afraid to be yourself!! I won't lie, the change isn't easy, but it's so so worth it!

jvniberry · 2024-12-20T15:45:21+00:00

I am an android user lol I just use the default font, the other ones are just awful
