The fact most NDs in the uk are unemployed is fucking ridiculous.

I’m honestly fucking done with the shit. I’ve applied to 100s (if not a 1,000 yet) of entry level jobs in the past 3 years and only did i once ever get an interview. The rest were just generic emails saying i didn’t get it. Although nowadays im seeing more and more of just being completely ghosted.

So even IF i got an interview, id still not get the job because i get so anxious in interviews, but thats my fault not theirs, right? That makes sense but basing ability to do a job right has nothing to do with how anxious i get with new people for a job that is done completely on your own with no public interaction.

They want us to get out there and work but at the same time, why is the process designed to weed us out? How is that even fair? If this was 20+ years ago, I’d be employed right now. Not to mention almost every “entry level” job you see nowadays requires you to have years of experience, how do you even get experience if they won’t even hire you for the entry level job? It makes no sense to me.

I feel so fucking useless. I want to work, yet I can’t. I’d probably burn out a few weeks after starting and suffer through a horrendous chronic pain flareup and have to quit but STILL at least I could have said that I tried but i can’t even get a job to prove that.

I’m sorry but that’s just how I feel tbh. I don’t even know what to do but at the same time, what can I do other than what I’m already doing which is cv building.

Edit: hey, sorry for not replying I’ve not been feeling well. I also just woke up from a 18 hour sleep lol so I’ll be reading and replying later when i don’t feel like a corpse lol
