So they went with another applicant.



I just... I.... :hysterical laughter: I really really thought I had a chance with this one and come to find out they hire someone else without even giving me a job interview. Months of work for fucking nothing again. It's been a good year since I started job hunting and I've never even had an interview. All I wanted was to have one fucking job by the time Mum got home so I could show myself to be not a complete failure at everything. BUT I AM, COME TO FIND OUT.

Days like this, I just want to pop open the liquor cabinet, teetotalism be damned. There's a nice looking banana thing in there, maybe I'll try that.

This is the most awful job market in ages. Last summer I applied for another job in my company, and I found out that 500 people applied! People with master's and Ph.D's in that area of work! You're fighting for jobs with adults, probably with degrees who've had to lower themselves to work for minimum wage.

It's not you. Really.

Edited to add: Here! I have proof! Check out this LJ entry on one of my other friends' pages. He went to a job fair in Arizona yesterday. Between 16 and 18 thousand people showed up.

See? It really isn't just you!
