You know? The least. The very LEAST. The absolute most tiniest FUCKING thing you could do, seeing as ALL the applications now run online and/or via email is prepare a BLOODY form mass email to send out to all the people who haven;t been shortlisted for your ENTRY LEVEL COFFEE RUN JOB.
Just ONE FUCKING LINE that says "Soory, you didn't make it. Better luck next time.", click on the list of applicants and send that ONE. LINE.
It doesn't cost any money. It takes hardly any time as I'm sure you collect the applications somehwere and it is JUST COMMON COURTESY.
I mean FUCK! Sending out about 20-30 applications without getting even a goddmaned PEEP back?
It is so DEMEANING and DEPRESSING and basically MURDERS MY SOUL AND THEN PISSES ON ITS BODY.
Seriously. I feel like I might as well shout at a wall. Or show my portfolio to the pigeons in the park. I'd get more of a reaction from them.
And the worst part? I know I'm good. I know my work is good. Not stellar, but solid for a graduate. I've graduated with a first. I've done an abroad semester and an abroad internship. I'm trilingual.
And all of that is apparently for shits. I am 25 and unemployed. I hate disappointing my parents. I hate seeing my friends succeed in their fields. I hate how it makes me feel stupid and useless. I hate having to explain myself to social services. I hate receiving dole money. I hate not being able to buy the christmas gifts I want to buy. I hate that my life is going nowhere whilst my best friend has moved in together with her boyfriend in a gorgeous flat and has just started her specialised schooling as a therapist while at the same time working for her old department at uni. I hate that I don't even have a boyfriend. I hate that I cannot seem to draw anymore. I hate that my sister now works successfully in my field without having studied design. I hate that I sleep late. I hate crying so much. I hate that I cannot tap into my usual, borderline annoying exhuberant persona anymore. I hate that I don't like myself anymore. I hate the Dementors that have moved in.
Fuck.
And I'm sorry for venting this way, but if I didn't do it here, I'd explode in front of somebody from my family or friends and, somehow, I feel like I'm not strong enough to do that. Not at the moment, at least.

All my resumes evidently are collecting in a black hole somewhere out there in the universe, to be seen by some intrepid exoarcheologists many millennia in the future, who, after they learn how to open e-mail and read the contents will say, "WTF is a technical writer?"
Life really does suck sometimes. It's even worse when it's during the holidays. I agree with you about the lack of response from employers. It annoys the heck out of me. It really wouldn't take much time to create that kind of automatic message. It'd be dissappointing to get, but it'd be something.
I hope everything gets better for you soon.
I've moved to a different province and I'm starting to explore a whole different career feild because my education obviously means nothing right now. I'm still unemployed but feeling more optimistic. I'm sure that when something is your passion you'll find a way to make it work. So just step back enjoy your holidays and then try a new approach to finding a job. I hope things work out for you
It'll get better, don't worry just keep working. And when you feel like crap after comparing yourself to others just remember, when those things happen for you they will be well deserved and even better for you than the things others have!
I hope the venting helped! Totally understandable and I hope things start looking up soon <3
In the meantime I'll send a little help your way: Expecto Patronum!
Times will change Ninny. They have to.
That's what I keep telling myself.
And you've got the qualifications.. you WILL succeed. There's no way you won't.
You have a LOT going for you. Just because your talent isn't CURRENTLY bringing in a paycheck (which sucks dragon balls, let's acknowledge that), doesn't mean there aren't half a million people out there who wished they had half your talent (I'm quite certain those are real statistics, too). Just because you don't CURRENTLY have a boyfriend doesn't mean you'll never meet someone who's head-over heels for you. Or that there aren't currently heaps of people who already love you deeply.
Winter and the holidays are a hard time to deal with these things. But understand that good things always turn into bad things, bad things always turn into good things and sometimes, everything just turns into mediocre things. But it's good to know that things will ALWAYS, WITHOUT FAIL, turn. Know that this low point will be an experience that will be useful for the rest of your life. And that YOU WILL GET THROUGH IT. I promise.
Chin up girl.
Girl, I know. I know how it is. I know how it feels to apply over and over again and not hear back shit. I know how it feels to see family succeed in things and see yourself not. I know how it feels to be single for what feels like forever. It fucking sucks.
You deserve all good things, and I promise you they're coming. Artists always have it toughest, and as for your sister, let yourself feel it. Eventually, it'll be ok again.
Cyber hugs are the lame, but I'm giving you one now. We're in a rough patch together, and we'll make it out together
