Is this normal (my parents never ask me if I’m okay)?

[xJayleenx]

After quitting my job I literally spend 24/7 in my room. They’re gone all day and when they get back they just say “oh she’s going to get sick” but other than telling me to do stuff by my mom im not asked if im okay. My dad just yelled at me to get out of my room that that’s not normal lol. The reason I left my job was because I got tired of constantly doing the same over and over and I was starting to doubt myself thinking “is this really the best kind of job that I could get?” And I didn’t want to work in assembly another day so I quit. Today I was supposed to have a video chat interview with another job but they never called and the other job was put on hold. Tomorrow I’m supposed to have another interview. I’ve been feeling super down not sure what to do and super afraid of spending money so I’ve just been at home inside my room. I haven’t had motivation to do anything I guess that not working isn’t me. I just want to do something better I really hope that I could get a job I’ve been signing up for remote jobs as well. I just have no experience so factory and warehouse is all that I’ve done.

Start by getting out of the house every day, for example, going for a walk. Tell everyone you know that you're looking for work, and ask them to keep an eye or ear open for you. Next start volunteering for something. For example, if you want to teach but have no experience, start volunteering to help out in youth club, like Big Sisters or 4H or at a soup kitchen or daycare. Volunteering is an excellent way to gain experience. Work on a good resume, interview skills, and prepare an 30 second elevator pitch. Talk to strangers, meet new people, tell them what kind of job you want to go. You'll be surprised by what left field job offers will come in from! Good Luck!

Thank you 🤍

[Guardian45]

You're welcome. Report back how it went.

[Guardian45]

Thank you for MHG!

Sounds like depression..

[RealMarek]

You quit a job when the West is being defeated in a major geopolitical military and economic conflict, inflation is soaring, and we are in recession? Don’t listen to the fake unemployment numbers. It’s not easy to find work right now and a lot of people have been unemployed for months. Have you tried substitute teaching? There is huge demand in a lot of school systems because teaching is a miserable profession now.

[DizzyDesii]

Damn i should pay attention to the news more because i was tryna quit too

[xJayleenx]

I heard the opposite now that many jobs are searching for employees

[xJayleenx]

Yo if you see someone going through a hard time why are you commenting this though? Lol. I heard a lot of remote jobs are searching. I also was doing the same thing with wires over and over again 6 months straight how coulf I continue?

[xJayleenx]

And they never hired me nothing so that made me feel worse i was supposed to be hired after 3 months

[DizzyDesii]

Yea a lot are hiring but that also means more competition. When i quit my 4 year job in March, i didn't get this one til June. I dont wanna go that long again but shit im bout ready to quit

[xJayleenx]

@DizzyDesii but im a college student majoring in business I just want to get something related to that

[xJayleenx]

What do you work as?

[DizzyDesii]

I majored in business. It was a pointless 4 year degree. I haven't worked a biz related job yet. Needed to be in NY or ATL for that. And thankfully i didn't have to work whie in college but it sucked because i lacked experience needed for the resume

[xJayleenx]

@DizzyDesii it’s the same for me im struggling because I don’t have experience. Have you tried working online? Im also worried about my voice it’s high pitched and low lol

[DizzyDesii]

I've been doing online stuff on/off since 2018. Rn in doing sales. Ideally i would be the person who gives presentations or does jingles for songs under advertising

[DizzyDesii]

*for commercials under advertising

[xJayleenx]

@DizzyDesii that’s cool why don’t you like your job?

[DizzyDesii]

Because its sales and i have no interest in working directly with people

[xJayleenx]

@DizzyDesii since you have experience i think you should be able to get something better with no problem

[DizzyDesii]

Hardly. Only other sales and stuff want to hire you. Hard to get a marketing/ad job

[xJayleenx]

@DizzyDesii I think that you could do it

[RealMarek]

There are a lot of open posted positions.
Many of these are simply to satisfy legal requirements to post jobs for which an internal candidate is already identified. Another problem is unreasonably detailed and demanding job requirements and HR departments that reject all but the rare “perfect” candidates. Have you looked at things like sales, auto sales or solar panel sales? That’s sort of business related and could lead into more business and marketing type jobs.

[xJayleenx]

Yes im looking for things like that as well as insurance on the phone

[DizzyDesii]

Good luck with the insurance test. I took that at 18 and it was a thickass book we studied for a week befofe taking the test. Class was like 6a-6p for 5 days just to fail the test anyways. Class had like 30 people ranging from age 18-50 and probably 4 people passed the exam and got their insurance license

[xJayleenx]

@DizzyDesii I meant an insurance job lol

[DizzyDesii]

Are we not referring to the same thing? You have to become a licensed insurance agent

[DizzyDesii]

Have you not done the research? You will have to take the insurance test that we took and failed…

[xJayleenx]

@DizzyDesii I don’t want to be an insurance agent I signed up for customer service for insurance not sure how to explain it im sorry for the confusion

[DizzyDesii]

Oh gosh you do not want to do that lmao. I mean they constantly hire anyone even just HS diploma people. I know so many people who regret going down that road. Its always a “temporary” thing. The company could tell you theyre keeping you for a year and then drop you the next week. Those jobs also have high turnover rates and you’ll get cussed out by people daily. I don't know if you should do that. You seen sensitive. I personally avoid that job. But best of luck

[RealMarek]

I hope your search goes well. Customer service can be brutal, but if you are good at it and stick it out there is promotion potential especially once you finish your degree.

[xJayleenx]

@DizzyDesii if I get 100,000 a year like they said im fine lol but hopefully it’s not a scam

[DizzyDesii]

More than likely a scam unless you live in a really good paying state. Most customer service call jobs won't pay over $30-40k. And thats even managers. You’d make more working as a retail manager which is just as bad. All i can say is that job won't be doing much justice but do what you want

[xJayleenx]

@DizzyDesii okay I’ll keep searching thank you for telling me

[xJayleenx]

Hopefully I’ll have luck with jobs

[NathanDavis]

are you okay though...

are you doing better today?

[xJayleenx]

Im still trying to find a job. I am feeling a little better thank you for asking

[NathanDavis]

glad to hear that... (=

[888theGreat]

I think if they say get out of room , they are checking.

[xJayleenx]

My dad did but my mom just ordered me to feed the dog

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Parents should ask you if you're okay

[Agape93]

Normal for me, my parents never did
