Why is it so fucking hard to find a job nowadays?

I've applied to over 20 minimum wage jobs near me a week ago and not ONE has called me back.

I applied to 3 call center jobs a couple of days ago and haven't heard back yet, and I've already decided that I don't want to work in a call center anymore from reading horror stories online, so I hope they don't call me. You would think that call centers would literally take anybody since they have a higher turnover rate than McDonald's, but I guess I'm finding out that that's not the case. They only want turbo normies who are mega extroverts to apply.

There are only a few options left for me. Busser at a restaurant, bagboy at the grocery store I used to work at, or literally work at McD's or the Taco Bell down the street. I want off this fucking ride senpai

Job hunting is really shit. I had a job for 2 years, but left it for another one. I got fired after a month for being slow, so I became NEET again. My last job was shit, so I really don't want to go back.
For all of you thinking of quitting and living the neet life. Just remember that the job market is abysmal, so don't expect to be hired again for at least a year or more. Just deal with it as long as possible.

>>37408888
Call centers really are shit. I had a family member work at one. She quit after her 3rd day because she said she was tired of getting yelled at all the time by people.
My social skills are shit, so I definitely wouldn't be able to handle that kind of job.

>what's so bad about it
Not him, but I've worked in one too. The worst parts of it are:

>throat hurts from walking all day
>have to make a certain # of calls per hour and you get in trouble for not hitting your quota (often it's not your fault though, sometimes you just have really long calls that are out of your control, and it's not like you can just put the phone down)
>timed bathroom breaks, get in trouble for being 2 minutes over or taking too many breaks
>cannot clock out before exactly 5:30pm, otherwise you get in trouble (i got a formal warning for clocking out at 5:29pm and 5:28pm two days in a row) - what this essentially means is that around 5:26-ish pm, everyone starts crowding around the sign out thingys (it's a computer mounted to a wall where you punch in your wagie # and click sign in/out), but no one can do anything other than stare at the clock until it's exactly 5:30pm
>insane turnover of staff means that if you stay there for a few months, you will almost certainly be one of the most experienced people there, which means people will ask you all sorts of shit you have no idea about and managers will lean on you to provide support
>everyone is always fucking sick, so more work for you (no seriously, count on 10-20% of the office being off sick on a regular day)

Also, you spend your entire day getting yelled at and complained to, but having to suck it up and act happy. It wears you down man, I'm telling you. It really sucks the life out of you.

If you cant get a job you're not trying hard enough. I Literally walk into interviews. Albeit i have experience working at several places but i usually only put one on a application because im lazy and dont feel like typing.

Jobs above minimum wage thats always hiring (You'll have to work long hours though but the pay sort of makes up for it and will get you by just enough if you dont have a degree or Manager experience):
>Amazon Fufillment the perfect job for robots dont have to talk to anyone if you don't want to, Work is incredibly easy but long. Keep up your rates and they will pay you better than most. Hard to move up the ladder if you dont have a degree but if you do can walk into a manager position with little to no experience and be above 90% of everyone else in the building)
>UPS
long hours, still easy, all you do is throw boxes all over the place, pay is a little less than amazon still over minimum wage
>Walmart or Target
Virtually identical, Apply for a logistics position and work is identical to Amazon, if you're unlucky you get a sales floor spot. Not too hard just have to deal with people asking where shit is and keeping the floors clean.

Below:
>Any Fast food chain
I'd say dont apply if youre unable to have basic communications with people. Very team based but can get away with being a Robot if you atleast can get on some sort of personal basis with your coworkers around you. Usually if im looking for something like this i apply to Mom and pop restaurants first. Ones independantly owned in your city. You usually get minimum wage but the people who eat there usually are always coming back because it isnt McDonalds or Jimmy Johns it feels real to them and they will tip well. If you cant score one of these go for your normal Fast food place. Will get treated like shit because no one really wants to be there but there seems to be a pressure around the country to raise minimum wage for these workers because everyone knows whats up. Cons: no tips

Real talk here. Either you're ignorant of this fact or you don't actually want to succeed but 20-30+ applications is standard for even having a chance.
>>
ill give my 2 cents

there are websites that affiliate themselves with different companies. you just send your CV to their website, it gets examined by some HR person and from there it gets sent to the multiple companies.
you are gonna get shit offers, but if you accept anything at this point then it shouldn't bother you. NEETS with car license have a big advantage over those that don't.

if you want to avoid the shit jobs. learn a trade online like programming for unity or UI/UIX and then just send your portfolio out to companies that you think are good.

You literally have to be a crackhead not to get a job working at Amazon, and even then ive seen them slip through the cracks

Always of these are almost guarantedd if you go into the interview like you already have the job. Interviewers always ask the same fucking questions and if you get to the interview and dont get the job they probably thought you were too autistic to work there. Because the before the interview they already have a hunch that theyre hiring you. they dont bring you in otherwise its just a waste of their time. Something you said mustve turned them off. Answer questions confidently and Lie your fucking ass off. they dont know if youre really telling the truth and wont check for it either.

Common questions:
>So why do you want this Job
>Tell me about a time you were in a stressful situation and had to overcome it
>Have you ever had to take charge and lead a team
>What will your past coworkers or shcoolmates say is your one weakness


If you can answers these without stumbling (prepare your lies) you can answer most other questions. Dont have work experience? Talk about that time you had to work in a group project in school. lie and say everyone was lazy so i had to step up. Shit like this always works

Having the job itself is fucking stressful, I was just recently thrown into a higher level department with less than to days of training, I was so fucking comfortable in my department, I went from thinking I was worth absolutely nothing to being the best in my department, I got a literal kick in balls as a reward of course, my boss jokingly told me to "deal with it", she has this wierd thing where she think's I'm arrogant or something, I barely speak for fuck sake, this is the type of job where you get totally fucked if you commit the even smallest mistake, the problem here is that I have no fucking clue what is what, I can commit a mistake for doing and not doing something and I have no Idea what it is that I'm doing, there was no training involved, the two people that trained me were more interested in moaning and yelling at me for not knowing what to do when they were supposed to teach me first, my head hurts, I don't know what to do, I don't want to be embarrassed in front of everyone, I don't want to be treated like a bag of shit anymore, I can't quit, my dad wants to throw me out, I'm only 19, I didn't finish high-school because of autism and my depression, I live in a horrible country where everything is slowly falling apart.

To think I used to feel bad about getting my NEETbux. Makes me laugh just remembering it.

Society has fucked me over in so many ways. I'm glad I can leech on their cash.

Fucking corporations making millions will never hire me, outsource their jobs to third world shitholes, and never pay their tax.

And yet I should feel guilty about a few pounds in NEETbux?????

Minimum wage is sort of the company's way of blatantly telling you, "I don't think you're worth anything. I'd pay you less, but the government won't let me."
So you can't afford to be all nice and tidy when you go in for an interview. You've got to be their bitch. You've got to drop all pride and grovel. You've got to imply that you'll do anything to get this 'position,' if ya catch my drift.

I sucked a dick in high school to get a min. wage job and it worked.

I got a factory job a few weeks ago. It's 95% immigrants. I barely understand any of them and all they do is yell and shout at each all day. My Boss is illiterate and I have to help him spell simple words on forms.

You act like I can sign up for each and every job posted every day. I can only sign up for jobs that is within my job experience, or doesn't require experience or diploma.
Plus I signed up for everything. So I'm literally signing up for everything posted today and onward. Which isn't much.

So even having 20-30+ to sign up for sounds like a dream. I don't know what bustling state/city you live in, but I definitely don't even have remotely that many to sign up for.
