We are running out of time and I'm about to have a mental breakdown over it and so is David.
Sorry, this is going to be a huge long rant about life.
I've never had this much trouble finding a job. David either, I don't know what's wrong with us no one wants to hire. I'm a great worker! I do the best I can, am always on time, don't miss shifts, if anything I take extra shifts when needed, never let school interfere with my job, and have really good customer service skills. My biggest obstacle is I can't work during school hours (8am-1pm) and have been out of work for a few months now, but it's not like I haven't been looking for a **** job! All the jobs at the school are for workstudy students, which I don't qualify for because I don't make enough money.
really....ok thanks.
There's been a few times one of us had an interview, and the interviewer really liked us and made it seem like we'd get the job, go for the second interview, and again do great, and than they wouldn't give us the job. We asked each time (other than the first one, we didn't think to ask) if there was something that held them back from hiring us and for David it was just there was someone with more experience (he doesn't have as much customer service experience) and for me it was my school, they would rather hire someone not in school as students tend to be more "flaky." I'm not flaky **** it!
I've made it to the second or third interview 4 times and David 6 times. WTF!? I think we may just be failures at life.
I just want to work, to earn my own money, to stop relying on food stamps to eat damnit.
The only way we've made it through to this point is tutoring. We live in a college town, so we've put resumes on tutoring sites and, because we know our material in each of our fields and are great tutors, we've been able to make a decent living off of it. We each have 6 people we tutor on a regular basis as they go through their courses in math, physics, engineering fields, etc. However, with summer coming up on us there is no way to make a living that way through the summer. I don't know what we are going to do at this point if we can't find a job at least for the summer.
I just want to give up on life at this point.
I keep trying to remind myself that it always works out some way or another, but I'm not sure if it will this time. I really don't want to have to quit school and move back in with friends or family. School is covered at this point by scholarships, grants and all so it's not like it's costing me anything to go. I just want to get a job to make ti through school so i can get a job in my field. Is that really so much to ask?!
Oh, and David has 2 freaking classes, that's it! 2 classes, and we can't cover the cost of his school.
Ok, I'm done complaining now. *takes deep breath*
