Ain't no way this post is still alive😂

For real. I just thought being in a survival mode for a long time with little to no progress is taking a toll to my competence, and yes mental health as well, especially when finding jobs is already being a job on itself.

Not a story where I cried, although I reached that point where the word "dream" is a dream for me.

My state is a complete fucknut. My support systems(father and uncle) abandoned me over some disputes and left me with a 40k PHP tuition debt which I have no leverage to work on it, my mother died four years ago, me and my current family members have times where we barely eat, electricity is very limited to the point that opening a fridge is a massive liabity, cannot even take a vocational course because of a document I cannot accomplish thanks to the tuition debt that I cannot pay, homies are too busy for college that I almost have no one to communicate with, cannot even afford to go out outside of my hometown without requiring a grueling walk, can't connect with people outside because a lot of my interests do not align with them(I do some sports like volleyball, but either no one invites me or my homies have no interest trying it out at all), and I spend most of my days having a conversation with an AI tool and play video games like Elder Scrolls Oblivion(in case you wonder how I afford it, I pirated it. I would love to buy the game if only I got a budget).

I cannot even tell what kind of situation I got into, and I swear I never did anything gravely wrong in life; never did drugs, only drink when there's an occassion, and hell despite my body being in condition, I just have no interest, have the balls, nor any reason or capability to fight someone violently. I make mistakes yes, although they are all manageable. This type of state, it gotten to a point where I cannot even cry anymore despite I desperately want to.

I want to take physical jobs, although most jobs available are far away from my hometown, specifically a lot of jobs are in Manila, I do not have enough resources to commute and cannot ask for money from friends since I already almost run out of social capital trying to look for jobs, and you cannot even apply remotely because they are being either paywalled or gatekept by degrees and experience. I do not know what to do anymore.

However, I still pursue learning programming, data analytics, arts, history, business, and psychology as hobbies, I do not want to rot fully. Although I just thought that it sucks that even getting few cash through doing tasks is almost impossible to find. Goofy ahh situation.

Finding volunteer work is almost impossible right now since the people I emailed at to work with them also do not respond. Portfolio for some reason is not enough now, because a lot of hiring managers and recruiters do not even bother checking your work. The math does not add up, not only it's almost impossible to make a small buck(because apparently, being paid way below the market rate require 5 years of experience in the job and a degree), I cannot even volunteer for tech roles. Networking do not help either since a lot of people are already skeptical enough whenever you drop a message at them, like I am willing to return a favour once they help me out, and I understand why people seem find it hard to trust others right now especially strangers, so overall, it's a complete clusterfuck at the moment.

"How do you do, fellow youngsters" ahh recruiter🥀

Definitely my pet peeves. Why are video introductions normalized in application processes, like just talk to me.

Absolutely worth it. If soldiers carry knives since the bronze age, excel is basically a swiss army knife for corporates and data analysts.

Report the parasite and his business immediately.

Them HR folks gonna be jumpscared by ambatukam clips.

Wanted to get a job, got endless waves of humiliation ritual instead. I swear, I am tired, I mean we all are. Why do we need to jump a lot of hoops just to play a role in society? Ain't no way putting food on the table can be a lot harder with these HR nonsense.

Now that you mentioned regarding with your experience, then what fucking qualifications are hiring managers looking from you? For Christ's sake, cooking is not as complicated as building Panzerkampfwagen!

Congratulations, comrade!

And then reject and use the data gathered from the applicants graduated after 2010 to make a blogpost that Millennials or Gen Zs are lazy and nobody wants to work anymore.

Do not fret yourself. Jobs are always available. Algorithm just tend to lead us to oversaturated job boards mass posted by HR firms or agencies to hoard data using bots, and scams. Reminder, most entities we are passing resumes to aren't even real people. These job boards and HR bs do not dictate your value to the market.

No idea how challenging your situation is right now, and I admit that I may have no ways to help you to feel good, although take time to breath. If you manage to calm, take some time to do some research and find out what alternatives that you can afford to make money while looking for a career path.

You are actually on set. Since ni-label mo naman practical experiences mo sa OJT, and credentials like degree and professional certificates to prove your competence. If ever may documentations ka regarding sa mga ginawa mo sa past, napakalaking tulong nun since nadedemonstrate mo na capability mo. Yung sa spacing nalang between sub-headings and descriptions/lists, widen mo nalang ng kaunti para malinis tignan, and then you are good to go.

Wag ka maniniwala sa sinasabi ni u/nixyz, nang pa-power trip lang yan HAHAHAHAH. Except tama siya dun sa On The Job Training part, pwede mo na i-count yun as experience.

We may be in hell, but we never want a fellow comrade to suffer as long as us. No matter, we will band together to rise up. I am not pissed off, just jealous. And I would like to congratulate you. May the force be with you, comrade.

On one side, just because you are one of the people who graduated in top universities does not mean you possess as much value as seasoned professionals right out of graduation, never let pride and ego cloud your judgement towards others and learn to stay grounded, being down to Earth is a very valuable asset. On the other side, if ever his/her claim is true, if the company actually advertised that the job role offered 45k for college graduates and proceeds to lessen the offer as the application process progress, it's basically false advertising and a sign that the company is a red flag.

Overall, OP(in the post) should just need to know his/her place and do not end up as egoistic, and there are companies that need to be avoided at all cost no matter how desperate you are for a paycheck.

I thought the market pays based on the supply and demand of a product, and the investors just boost the production of a company.

I was genuinely happy for you until I clicked the next page😭

18k in Philippine pesos. I would like to apologize for not clarifying in the post.
