I'm so tired of applying for jobs anymore. What's the point if no one is ever gonna get back with me on stuff? Now I've been unemployed for two whole years. It feels so defeating. Why did I even go to college if no one will hire me for what I learned? - ThreadSky

The job market is atrocious right now. No one responds and they expect people to work for peanuts but have a decade of experience. I hope things work out for you.

What was your major if you don’t mind me asking?

My major was Computer Informatics. I was supposed to do front-end design work. Even with that, though, they don't care because they can just use AI for that now. What was the point of me learning all of this then?

I’m so sorry. My brother is going through the same right now, and has also been out of work for two years.

I just hope you can find something meaningful or that your Goost self takes off (which would be awesome)

If you’re using job board sites, don’t. Lot of the time they’re doing that for internal hires or for other purposes rather than actually for hiring. If you can, look at specific companies and their career pages to apply for positions.

If there's anything I've learned in life is to be persistent. You miss 100% of the shots you never take. You got this, Goostie!

I keep trying to. But every shot I take doesn't hit. I've gotten a 100% fail rate with this. At this point I've applied to hundreds of jobs. Hell, I'm even trying to apply to retail, yet even THEY won't take me. It makes me want to cry. I feel like I'm gonna be stuck where I am forever.

As long as you keep trying, your accuracy ain't gonna be 0. You'll land one eventually. I know it's rough right now, but it's especially important to never give up. Keep a chin up! Everything will turn out good in the end. ❤️
