It's so hard getting a job

The last time I went looking for a job I think it took about 3 months. I just applied to all of them online. I avoid it because I am not very good at interviews. I'm smart and work hard, I'm just not good at talking/"selling my skills." Anyway~ it's been more than 2 months now, have been submitting my resume to multiple companies but have not gone past after HR interview. But all I can do is try and try, there are some companies that I really wanted to get into, but I guess it is just not meant to be for now. What are you guys up to right now?

The last time I was looking for a job was when 9-11 occurred. I remember I'd go out in the early to apply for jobs and then come home and watch the news about the different stories and such. What a time that was.

Wow that was such a long time ago. I also did that a few years back, fortunately I was with someone.

@celticeagle Hey there. Unfortunately not, I have one last interview with another company but I am not very hopeful. I'll just focus on other things for now.

It's really hard to get a job at least for me. I want to write content for websites and earn but it has been long that I have stopped getting online work. I used to teach online but that too has stopped.

I am so sorry to hear that, was it because there are a lot of competition? Because of the pandemic many people have turned to online jobs too, so I think it won't hurt to try again?

@aninditasen I used to work for an english tutorial company but it was the students who booked schedules with me.

@lady1993 There are teaching online jobs today where the owner of the website wants you to arrange for students which I find a wicked idea. Teachers aren't sellers or marketing personals.

One of my best friends is a nurse, and she wanted to work at a different hospital. It took her forever to find another job, about six months! When she finally did, it was worth the wait. I wish you luck in getting the job you really want.

@lady1993 They do not require experience as long as you have the internet and lap top.

I can understand and relate with you. Finding job is indeed difficult these days. I got it after 6 months. You just try to stay positive and keep on going with it. I wish you get your desired job soon. Have a good day. Take care
