I'm almost nineteen, and I need to support myself independantly of my relatives. I've been applying for job after job after job. Part-time, full-time, McDonald's, Radio Shack. I can't get any of them. I can't even get an interview. In fact, I've never even gotten any indication that my application was ever received, much less even looked at before being thrown directly into the garbage. I feel like everyone is working against me and that there's no end in sight. It seems like everyone wants an application filled out online nowadays. They always ask pages upon pages of personality related questions, and it always takes anywhere up to an entire hour to complete one. And after I send several out every week, I get no response. I feel like they're not even getting them. I feel like I'm wasting all my time trying, but that I can't give up. And I've been doing this for months, not giving up, and I STILL have nothing to show for it. I don't have any assurance whatsoever that they DID ever get them, so I don't even really have any reason to believe so. I've never had a job either, so that doesn't help. Why won't anyone tell me what happened, regardless of whether I got an interview or not? I sit by the phone, just waiting for it to ring. But it's always some solicitor, or for someone else. I try walking into locales to apply, I try calling them up directly to apply, they either give me a paper application that's never answered or need me to apply online. (Which never works.) This is maddening. If I don't get a job soon, I'm going to do something unhealthy. I hate this fucking town and all of its jerks that have jobs which they perform inadequately.
