Today, just like every day, I have not gotten a single call back or email regarding a job interview since 2020. I can't even get a part-time job at McDonald's. Why? No one wants to hire someone with 10 years of experience as a manager for entry-level jobs, and no one is hiring managers from outside. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I’m so over this shite. I’ve been on the hunt for a job for 2 years. I have 30 years of management experience in multiple fields. I get interviews but never get hired. I even apply for entry level jobs and still can’t get hired. Prior to COVID, I’d never interviewed for a job I didn’t get. This economy sucks. FML
Today, I have applied to over 50 different jobs in the last month. I have NOT received a call or email back from any of them. FML
Today, I realized i'm practically incapable of actually getting a job. I'm 19 years-old, with no workforce experience, I frequently apply to jobs and regularly follow up with them on a consistent basis, yet they still ghost or reject me outright. These are minimum wage, starter-level jobs. FML
Today, my roommate has a job interview. He only applied to the job yesterday. Meanwhile, I've been out of work for three weeks. I've applied to at least ten jobs. I have yet to get a call-back from any of them. FML
Today, I received my fourth rejection email from McDonald's after applying for one position with them a few weeks ago. FML
Today, after graduating from culinary school, I was turned down by Chipotle, Jersey Mike's, and McDonald's entry-level jobs because I didn't have enough experience. FML
Today, the job search agency that I use asked me to stop sending in my resume, as no one had hired me in three years, and that the situation was unlikely to change. FML
Today, I've applied to 300 jobs in the past 4 months, gotten 7 interview, 2 of which have gone to a third round and I'm still unemployed. FML
Today, it's been four weeks since I got a job offer after months of grueling interviews. I turned down other offers to accept the job, but I'm still unemployed because no one at the company will take my calls about my official start date. I've been ghosted by a corporate office. FML
Today, I've been job searching desperately for years. I'm always either rejected or the places just do not contact me, or they are too far away. No license and no cell service. Not even a Thanksgiving meal this year. I wanna give up. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Why aren't going for management positions? Were you a Horrible Boss? To get an entry-level job, you'll have to lie on your résumé. Scrub the management positions and say a coma explains your 10-year gap.

Better dumb down your resume and tell the truth at the interview. When they ask you why you want a job flipping burger, tell them you hope to be promoted to manager in a short period of time, as you already have the experience. If they ask why you didn't interview for a management position, counter with "so you have a manager position available? I'll take it!"

get professional help writing your resume. chances are it's something wrong with the resume. I'm horrible at writing them, I can't do it myself

If you’re looking for every-level, Best Buy, some might actually have supervisor reqs open. But like everyone said above Walgreens and CVS always looking for leadership (shift leads on up)

That seems odd, most company I've worked for prefer external hiring and experience is king. I think you really need to look at what your doing, and get some coaching.
