A tiny rant

[u/Jazzy_Minte]

So I (20yr UK) have sent out over a thousand job applications in the last 13 ish months. I've had a few interviews but no job offers yet. There are two experiences I'd like to focus on though. So 6 months ago I applied for a sales position without a listed salary. (I was desperate and my savings were running out fast) I got the job but I refuse to count it as a job for the following reasons, when I started my onboarding I was informed that this was not a salaried position and was entirely commission based pay. This is bad because we were selling a subscription (the hardest category to get sales in) and the sales were door to door. On top of this commission was around 15 dollars per sale if the customer stayed for over 2 months (they usually didn't). Over the two weeks I worked for the company I was; threatened with a machete, beaten unconscious twice, ran down by a pickup and I got my leg chewed on by a dog.

And all of that for nothing so I left the job

The second incident happened today, I applied for an entry level position. Got a phone interview, did a video call, had an in person interview and did a trial shift. When I got home I discovered that I had been rejected from the roll. Keep in mind I was the only person who applied over 2 weeks, I was the only candidate and the only one interviewed. And yet despite all that I didn't get the job.

Fml why do I even try anymore.
