I Applied To Jobs I Didnt Even Have The Skills For - Tumblr Posts

i remember looking for a job as a teenager and then again in my early 20s the whole time i had my mom getting mad at me and saying i was lazy or not trying hard enough or lying about actually applying because almost none of the applications resulted in an interview but i was applying to at least a dozen jobs a day (because applications took forever to fill out) i applied to jobs i didnt even have the skills for it took me 8 months to get my first job and a year and a half in my 20s after i was laid off and had to find a new job literally the only reason i got that second job was because it was at my grandmas church and they felt bad for me so they gave me a part time job as a janitor it took almost another year of constant searching to get a full time job and THAT was again because i knee someone in the right place and after i was fired from that place (along with most of the rest of the admin staff for bs reasons) i only got the temp assignment that led to my current job because the lady at the temp office remembered me from my last job where we had used that temp agency and she had liked me when id spoken to her so she gave me a good assignment literally i have gotten every single job because ive known people and gotten lucky hundreds of job applications did nothing and its bullshit and 6 figure pay my ass i made minimum wage at my first two jobs and barely above that at my third one it wasnt until my current job that i started making double digits per hour and i still never see anything that might be legit and not require experience go above 9 or 10 bucks an hour ive been at my job 8 years and gotten at least one raise a year since starting but im still not making 6 figures and i never will
