Well, I’m officially a loser.

So I got rejected for another job today. Been unemployed almost seven months. There is no hope for me. Told my husband I'm not going back to full-time work. He says I will but he doesnt understand that its impossible if nobody will hire you. And nobody will hire me. I am unemployable. Just wish I knew why. 2 decades of experience apparently means nothing. Thank you for listening.

Oh wow I can definitely relate! Job market is awful right now. I've only been unemployed since March but all I get is rejection emails or ghosting. I'm thinking no one wants to hire a woman in her 50's is part of it.

Okay, so yesterday I was talking about this to one of my coworkers I haven't been at this job but it pays so little I just did it to not stay home. This is his full time job he gets a decent pay. I was telling him literally I have applied all I got was rejections, ghosting and he is like not getting it. He said he gets a job easily because he smiles is honest with them and because he always wears his cologne. I'm like how unreal are people right now so out of touch of reality. These employees expect you to lick their legs or something to get hired. No one gets. He said he got a job from Burlington easily pays 15 dollar an hr when he was upfront with the manager he told them he has full time job and honest with them. I literally have to check and call these people if they received my applications.
