What's the point? I've done everything to find work and I get absolutely nothing. I call back, nothing, I apply for different positions in some job location, nothing. This has been happening for almost 2+ years, after holding down a temp job last summer. I'm 18 years old, and even I can't get a job as someone who is in shape and young.
So what's the point if I can't even afford a car, move out and become autonomous? What's stopping me from killing myself at this point. This struggle seems like a mere omen of my future.
I'd say just get creative and start some kind of side business. It'll give you some good experience, has a potential for a lot of money, and most importantly will keep you busy and out of a bad state of mind.
Devote only a small amount of your workday to job hunting since the callback rates sound poor. The rest of your day should be straight-up hustling.
Good luck!

Have you considered self employment?
If you want a better answer, you'll have to give us a lot more information (starting with what country you're in, and what kind of job you want).
Also it may be better to repost a version of this thread tomorrow, as I'm going to bed soon.

Whatever you want. Don't discriminate against yourself just because you're young. Besides, you have no other alternatives right now anyway, so you might as well give it your best shot.
Lots of good content there. But, don't just sit there and watch the videos, you have to take action. Good luck!

I got hired pretty quickly after applying to a shipping warehouse. See if there are any Fedex Ground facilities nearby OP, they're almost always hiring package handlers. Or try a side hustle, mine is selling retro games on ebay that I've amassed for cheap for the past decade. Considering buying a shroom grow kit and becoming the local witch-doctor as well.

OP here I'll list off things that need to be considered.

I don't see how it's possible not to be able to get continued work through a temp agency that manages construction. I've managed to do it in three different places, where I grew up, my university city and where my parents moved to and I lived with over the summer. I'm not fit or strong, but just by turning up every day and on time that makes you better than most temps and they'll offer you permanent work (which I had to turn down). Sure it's fucking awful work but at least you won't starve to death.

>I've done everything to find work and I get absolutely nothing
Because you are waste of fucking space. I applied for 4 jobs, got responses from all 4, also a guy I did intern shit during Uni time kept asking for me, hoping I would come back to work for them. And I don't mean some McD's shit, actual, well-paid office jobs with prospects, good career goals and plenty of room for promotions. Try having actual skills, intelligence and good personality and then you will find jobs.

I give job interviews, and can say you are probably doing something that triggers red flags:
>not being familiar with what the company does >not being able to speak to why you think you would be a success in the role >not asking deep thinking relevant questions about the role (eg. What separates a successful employee from a failure here? What sorts of career advancement would be open to me if i worked here for a few years? Etc) >answering a hobbies question with "video games" and thats it >hygine/timeliness >being a white male applying for an obvious diversity job (janitor at huge corporation, HR)
Jaxon Jackson
>not being familiar with what the company does always do research on the company, even if superficial >not being able to speak to why you think you would be a success in the role just the stock shit like 'I'm qualified, I work hard, I want to develope myself' >not asking deep thinking relevant questions about the role (eg. What separates a successful employee from a failure here? What sorts of career advancement would be open to me if i worked here for a few years? Etc) wut? I'm supposed to ask them? They are the ones interviewing me! >answering a hobbies question with "video games" and thats it movies, travelling and spending time with friends. Even if that's a lie, you would have to be mentally retarded to just go 'video games', people really do that? >hygine/timeliness always take a shower >being a white male applying for an obvious diversity job (janitor at huge corporation, HR) everyone is white where i live

people younger than 23 should not be allowed to work and instead focus on university and improving their competence what the fuck do you want to do as an 18 year old?

Try getting some skills, I don't know. Nothing but the last part is related to qualities employers are interested in. Yeah, being bilingual is nice and dandy, bur unless the company is dealing with suppliers/customers from the country which language you know, it won't be of any use.

tfw work a whole month and week unpaid at my country's equivalent of Walmart just to get the message that I can't get the trainee position because I'm not motivated enough
A symptom of the mental illness of being a normie is being unable to realize that work is pure cancer

None of which applies to me because I don't even get interviews.

What's your CV like? If you're getting no responses you need to rewrite it and try something else. Are you just focusing on one sector? Do you personalise your CV to where you're applying or just shill the same one out to everywhere?
Parker Watson
I recently had to rewrite it, but it mainly only focus on academic success (High school) and summer jobs. Most jobs have Work experience as a separate tab on the application page. I apply for literally everything as well.
Joseph Reyes
Do you research the company you're applying for and mention them? Maybe applying for a couple in person would be better, or smaller businesses? Retail and hospitality are usually easy to get into if you can hold eye contact and say you work hard and learn easy.

>find a posting thats perfect for me >get nervous without even doing anything but reading it
It really is. When my oneitus left me I stopped caring and saw my job for the shit hole it was. I started lying about when id show up, sleeping on shift, just going where I wanted because you know...I'm a fucking human being.
Don't even attempt to hide my power level and I'm supposed to be a supervisor. Corporate has gotten on my ass several times but gave up when the first time I called my own boss an idiot for getting upset over literally nothing, than the second they said they were gonna fire me and said "than do it... Like I need this job to do what i do now?" And I happened to be playing he hells march theme on my sound play youtu.be/Scjy-jQWTQU
