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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

Unless you are one of those rich kids from families where the business is handed down to you and you do not have to do much, most people in this world start off with no experience. Not only does it take time to gain experience and the most basic skills required at work, but it also takes one's ambition to make what you want happen. Most people are not able to support themselves or live a decent lifestyle when they first start out with a job, so remind yourself that you are not the only one out there. Be glad that you are now building experience and you have a job. After all, if you were a CEO, would you want to hire someone who has no experience or does not try hard to gain experience and to build their skills? I doubt it.

Sometimes, it's just really hard for people to do anything without adequate support. Why must people be successful anyway? I think we should all ask ourselves this question instead of blindly following others wishes for us.

OP: "Today, I still can't find a job to support myself. " You: "Be glad that you are now building experience and you have a job." *sigh*

Do you think cows, chicken, and pigs don't shit?

So it would be better to not de-poop a shrimp beforehand?

I think OP chose that term to purposefully garner more reactions; the more common term for it is deveining the shrimp. Techinically "depooping" is a correct term for it, as the "vein" is actually the digestive tract of the shrimp, but that term has connotations of a messy job when it's not really. Just tedious.
