I've been job-seeking for 3 months now. After not hearing back from 60 people, I gave up and stopped applying/trying. Then I got back on my job-seek journey yesterday, going door to door getting applications. I now have 12 applications that are filled out, except for the work part. Plus I have no references to put, either. Because I know no one besides my parents and brothers, and that's because I do nothing. I came back from my home country 3 months ago and can't go to college yet; they claimed I have to reside here a year first, don't know why but I do know that it's irritating me really bad. I want to do something. I want to be someone. No one wants to hire me, and I can't go to school, either? What's up with that..
And now I find myself 20 year old, with no job or normal education (I have a GED due to moving around too much I never got to go to college(because of my parents)) and I can't even do anything productive. I'm starting to lose hope, I'm starting to feel worthless, stupid and pathetic. I am starting to feel depressed. I don't know what to do anymore, I don't know where to turn. It looks like all doors are closed. Even my mother tells me it's useless filling out applications, and if I were hire-able they would've hired me long ago. With each passing day of no phone call from the places I applied I'm starting to feel she's right. Someone please help me. I can't go on doing nothing for long. I will lose it. I am tired of wasting time, it's driving me crazy. Because time is very valuable due to the fact we can never get it back.
Please tell me if there is still hope for me, what I should put down for these 12 applications, what steps I should take.. etc
Please... someone, anyone..
I live in El Cerrito, CA
