Have you had trouble finding a job?

Are you now struggling or have you in the past struggled to find a job? Or a promotion or a better job?

What has been your experience with job hunting?

I have ADHD so getting a job is hard for me anyways. I lost two jobs cause of my ADHD. Then I had a job I hated for 22 years. Vocational Rehab helped me to get it. Then they increased the workload and my body was breaking down from all those years. I've been out of a job since April. I've been trying to fill out applications online, and they been really hard for me to do. And now I'm trying to get back into a Vocational Rehab problem, cause I don't even know what I'm good at anymore.

Sorry man. I hope things turn out okay.

before i landed my current job i had massive trouble landing jobs. I had more luck freelancing what i do. I only got the current job because i was dating an employee's sister lol. I got in on recommendation.

Neat. How long have you been there?

[worldscolide]

12 years in October

Yeah, it’s hard getting a job, but you can’t give up. That’s why job sites like Indeed and ZipRecruiter are a big help. 😊

I sometimes get the sense that some jobs are "beneath them", which is also a really bad mindset. You're better off taking any job that's available. You never know where it may lead.

[jazzy34]

I agree.

I took a $3/hour pay cut to take my current job and lost my seniority. I worked on the plant floor for about a year and then got promoted to the corporate office. I'd love to have stayed on the floor, but my wife was pregnant with twins.

I just posted a video about 10 top corporations that quietly moved to Canada and they even made it easy to work there!

I lost my job during covid. I was going to collect unemployment and then retire but Biden won the election and the economy started to tank so I decided I had to find another job. It took me almost 18 months before i found something else. Ironically I found two good jobs at the same time and had to choose between the two.

I know it is tough but you cannot give up.

Yeah before I landed my current job, it was super hard to find one. Took several months to land this job.
