I don't know how much more of this I can take.

 

I finally secured a full time job after barely surviving on 20-30 hours a week on a 0 hour contract.

 

I was due to start next week 23/4

 

They've been calling me since Friday and I finally got back to them today only to find out that because of company restructuring...they've had to retract the offer.

 

I was looking forward to buying food

 

I was looking forward to seeing my friends and family

 

Now it's back to square one. Online application after application, email after email to agency, whilst starving on this 0 hour poverty wage.

 

I hate life.

 

Not even Destiny's Children reuniting is enough to lift my spirits. I can't

 

It's No Surprise You Did If This Is How You Type

Capitalising text in a title?

Please explain the error sis.

 

In English grammar, you either capitalise all letters in the title (excl. some words like 'and') or just the first letter.

I've been rejected many times in all areas of life sis. I have my demons and they know how to swim, but one thing has kept me afloat. Willpower. If you have the willpower to survive, there is a way, and there is another day. Take some time to meditate, have a talk with yourself, and regroup. You've got this!

Real talk. If something bad happens in my life, I always think that there's probably a better opportunity somewhere. So don't lose hope!

 

Friendly advice sis, companies often use a computer to screen applicants and if picked, HR only glances at your resume for less than 30 seconds on average.

Never submit the same resume when applying multiple jobs. Always change and tailor your resume for that specific position. Often times the computer system will pick you if you included certain words the company require. And those words and requirements can be found in the job posting.

 

 

Good luck sis!

how ild are you? are you graduated? im suffering from the same **** its killing me one day at a time

Sorry to hear that sis! Don't give up hope. You've got to remain diligent. Keep searching for jobs, updating you resume, refining your cover letter. You've got to stay strong!

I’m sorry. :(

 

This year has been putting me through it too! Yesterday I discovered I had a flat tire on the first day of my new part time job. I’m graduating and I’m trying to work this until I start my actual full time job. Only problem is that my car is slowly breaking down, and I have all of these bills that I don’t know how I’m gonna pay.

 

I just hope I can make it to my job next month because just like you I’m extremely broke. I can only afford to take 9 days off of graduation before I start working full time. Life is rough, hang in there!

Don't worry, your Interscope era Will Come  

Don’t give up. I got fired randomly a few weeks ago from this awful day job (without reason or cause) which put such a huge financial strain on me. Two days later I randomly hear back from my dream job I’d applied to and got it. Life can change at the drop of a dime. Keep your head up.

I feel your pain 

Have your current job at least let you stay there? (I’m assuming you have them your notice to leave before)

It's 0 hour so after this week I don't have any more hours. But even if I had hours, the 20-30 I sometimes get a week wouldn't and isn't cutting it. I need a job that guarantees a min. of 30 a week, not 30 1 week and 20 the next, then 16 and then maybe 22 and so on and so forth

 

UK economy is so ****ed up.

 

I’m so so so sorry I hope it gets better .

Stay triumphant and keep on livin!
