I’d say try not being too hard on yourself. It’s only been a few days, it takes some people months to find a new job. Be patient, try to take advantage of your free time while you have it in the meantime.

I'll try to be patient , but I am concerned by the lack of opportunities in my area and nearby areas, compared to when I got my first job in 2020.
My last job lasted 5 wks compared to my first job that lasted more than a year.
My family is struggling whilst this is ongoing my dad is critically 🤒 and my stepsister is mentally not okay with life. I don't have much family left my mum , nan etc 💀⚰️ are no longer here.

Gosh, I’m so sorry to hear about what your family is going through, the timing for this is horrible. On the upside I’m glad you at least have a roof over your head, I know it’s not much with everything going on but thankfully you’re not on the street. I’d say just keep doing what you can, apply at places, look out for job fairs, even remote work. I’m not sure you’ll have much luck right now since it’s the end of the year and people usually aren’t hiring til after holiday.

I was thinking it could be that or because I lasted a few weeks in my last job it might be too off put for HR manager or recruiters. I would be if my entire family was in the grave. I only have enough for 6 months rent without a job. Thank you for the advice tho.🤞🙏
