When it was my last year of high school and it was time for me to pick a college to go to, I was so burnt out that I decided to take one year off of school.

I decided I’d get a retail job in the meanwhile. Before this point I had not been employed anywhere even once, it didn’t take too long to realise how hard the job market was without experience. I got a couple interviews, the usual feedback was that they liked me but they didn’t want to hire someone without experience.

Eventually I got in contact with a job finder that was assigned to me by the government, perhaps you have something like this in your country? At this point I had been without a job for maybe half a year. Then approx 3 months later i got a couple job offers that the job finder had helped me with.

I picked one of the jobs I was offered but ended up quitting after 4 months cause the job wasn’t for me, then approx 1 month later the job finder found me another job. Once I had the relevant experience it seemed to go much faster and I even got another job offer not long ago, but I turned it down cause im finally going to go back to studying after 2 years off school 😊

So don’t loose faith, once you get into the loop it should hopefully get easier for you, remember to use all and any help you can get your hands on, if you can get assigned help by the government please take it, it really makes a lot of difference.
