Today, I still can't find a job to support myself. The only experience I have is a month in retail and a summer spent in a kitchen de-pooping shrimp. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I'm still unemployed after almost a year because my last job couldn't transfer me when my wife and I had to move due to her job. I can't even find something like grocery store or fast food. Seriously beginning to resent her. FML
Today, I was unsuccessful in getting a job at a supermarket. The same supermarket I used to work at. I now have a degree but can't even get a job at a place I used to work. FML
Today, I tried to find a job. Again. It's been seven years since I earned more than 70€ in a month, seven years since I moved back in with my parents, and seven years since I was registered as having a medical disability. Nobody wants me, not even as a shelf stacker. FML
Today, after spending about 5 years to go back to school, get my life together and get a real job, I now make about $100 less a month. I used to work as a dishwasher. FML
Today, I applied for a job as a dishwasher. I was denied because I don't have enough experience. FML
Today, I decided I don’t need to restrict my consumption of shrimp anymore, which I used to do because they are so expensive. So, did I finally land a well-paying job? Nope. It's just that all the other kinds of seafood have risen so much in price that it doesn’t make any difference now. 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, I've been stuck in a minimum wage job since I was 15. I'm now 22 and I have no idea where I'm going in life. 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, I found out I'm "no longer under consideration" for all 8 of the jobs I recently applied for. I'm broke and stuck living with my ex, who's got a new boyfriend. I hate my life and myself, wish I was dead every day, and am stuck in retail hell for the foreseeable future. I barely eat and exist only to work and sleep. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Keep applying and don't give up. If your standards are too high lower them. If all else fails, work at a grocery store; they take pretty much everybody. But also try to get an education so you can get a better job down the road.

De pooping shrimp? Sounds like you are a hard worker willing to do anything to make your money. People should be glad to have you. You will find a job soon.

Omg I had that happen to me at a health club except I was 17 and needed to be 18 cause they served alcohol. Didn't even get paid for the day I put in. Was so pissed since being 17 came up a lot. They just kept ignoring it because my main job was at the tv station. Btw part time studio work pays jack.

Alcohol at a health club? That seems mildly counterproductive. Or was it a mental health club?

It was in a beach town. Guys like to come play tennis have a few beers and get away from the family. I applied at the health club because I didn't think the alcohol issue would pop up like it had at all the restaurants I had applied to. Go figure.

Surely at a mental health club, alcohol would be way more counter productive!

Find a way to take the shit out of fast food, you've got experience.

Posting a stupid comment twice doesn't make you sound smarter.

It's a bitch out there. Try to to find opportunities for experience, even if it is just thru interning, and eventually you'll land something decent

Yup, about all that are open are the 5-5 6 day a week, heavy lifting for low pay sorts.

You take out their poop chute like you have to do to catfish. If its not done right the food taste bad. Gosh I wonder why.
