#struggling with job search

[justtasia]

Situatuon update/little story time under cut:

It took me like 40 minutes and honestly I have no idea whether they are willing to hire me or not. I was interviewed by two quiet chill guys which is nice because they doesn't make me more anxious but they were demanding for sure.

I applied for the position of a customer consultant but in a totally different field than one I had worked before. At the beginning, they asked about quite obvious things, such as "what sales indicators are you familiar with", "what the standards of customer service looked up in my previous job", "which of your skills you can use in this job" ect.

Easy.

In second, more practical part they wanted to test if I can use some "marketing witchcraft" (i love to call it that way) like language of benefits to sell phone X instead of phone Y that theoretical client want.

Feel like I could do it better cuz I knew what I want to archieve but got lost in my own explanation in a few moments. I know something about technology, but it's not my main interest. It defenitley wasn't my best performance, but it wasn't the worst one either. Just hope they see that I'm trying my best and I care.

And little offtop: before we got to that, one of them asked me to take out my phone and use it as a requisite X to scene. I honestly didn't expect something like that, but in the morning I unhooked my acrylic straps just to look more like a healthy functioning serious adult and god, I'm so glad I did it. No ideal if they would see anime stuff as professional but it was better for me personally. I swear I would have started laughing my ass off if a 30-something y/o man insisted that he want phone with catboy Reiji and Laito merch. That's just too bizzare.

^ The acrylics in question. Fun fact, they are glued together with double-sided tape. Firstly I did it cuz they hit each other and made noise with every movement. Then I found od that their backs were poorly secured in production. I also had a Yuma keychain from the same series and the print came off quickly. That tape unintentionally lenghten they livespawn. Little weird at first glance but works!

But that's just my silly thought. Back to the point: After that little roleplay they did another specific thing I wasn't really prepared for. They gave me company's leaflet and told me to remember as many details as possible while we were still having chit-chat. After a few minutes, they started asking me questions about what I remembered. Same as with the previous one - it's hard for me to judge whether they were satisfied enough, because it wasn't perfect either. I focused more on the first casual conversation and because of that my answer was quite accurate or slightly different from the content of the leaflet.

I feel quite mixed but I'm not focusing on thinking abt a negatives yet. If nothing changes by friday or I get a negative response then... Wellp. It is what it is. Psy szczekają, karawana jedzie dalej. As we says. I'll just keep looking.

(Not DL related thing this time)

I'll have a job interview in an hour. Please wish me luck and keep your fingers crossed for me. I'm really stressed out this time and I really need it >.<

I finished posting the unabashedly educational Sword Fic.

It includes a detailed (but hopefully beginner-friendly) explanation of all the steps of making a Nichirin blade from a sunny mountain like Mt. Youkou, a touch of swordsmith and metalworker folk lore (including demons), meta about what must make Kimetsu no Yaiba's swordsmithing methods different from real life methods, some character exploration for Haganezuka and his polishing method, vocabulary and additional resources in the chapter notes, and hopefully, an endearing, silly POV character to learn this all through.

I literally have ONE criteria for the jobs I’m applying for in terms of ethics, and it’s that the company doesn’t do military contracting…so how are there SO MANY companies that I’ve eliminated from my list of potential employers!?

Like, it’s basically down to small local firms at this point because almost ANY environmental consulting company with a national-level presence does some type of military work. I get that the military provides consistent funding and regular projects, but are they the ONLY institution that does that? I just want a job and I’m losing my mind.

tomorrow i'm contacting one of my old bosses and begging for my job back. (i ragequit 6 weeks ago bc it sucked so bad.) i have applied to 2 dozen jobs and gotten one (1) interview, and my mom (who has been giving me money in lieu of my having an income) is insisting i go back. makes sense i guess and i don't have any other prospects. it's really discouraging to realize that apparently the only job that wants me is the soul-crushing understaffed retail variety.

I've been doing a lot of thinking about my ongoing struggle to find a new job and I've just come to the realization that maybe I just need to swallow my pride and focus my job search towards what I know I'm more likely to get... and sadly this would be in the food service industry. I renewed my food handler's permit back in December which makes the fact I was let go from Chip Cookies only a month after that feels even more painful. Since I have a food handler's permit that is valid until 2026, I figured that maybe the best way to get myself back into the employment game is to just work in food service again. I am only planning to work part time though and hopefully this will help prevent me from becoming overwhelmed with work stress to the point where I "flee" my job like I've done with pretty much every job I've had. My family and I are planning to move out by September/October into a low income apartment and this is another reason I only want to work part time. Plus, working part time would help me continue to focus on making a career out of my passions while also getting a reliable income to keep me on my feet at the same time.

I really don't want to work in food service again but at this rate, I just want to have a job so I can get back to sense of normalcy in my life. It's all about having the right attitude after all. I have met some great people working in food service after all. In life, it's better to focus on the positive.

I have hit the 1 year anniversary of me trying to find a full-time job. Never in a million years did I think it would take me an entire year to find a full-time, permanent job, but here we are, full-time-jobless.

I recently came close to getting one, but the office is an hour away from me and I’m not that confident in my driving skills. I had an entire mental breakdown which ended with an email to the hiring manager explaining I can’t commute that far.

I told them I have full capability to work remotely, but alas, it’s been two weeks and no reply. I’m not expecting one either. I’ve hit 400 applications and 35 interviews.
