I had interviews for Tesco, Argos, World Duty Free, Zara, TK Maxx, M&S, and Legoland. I had Tesco again in the weekend and got the outcome today that Im declined. Im getting declined and my applications rejected and ignored all the time. Im 24 and have no job.

    youre not a failure. the job market is just so bad right now that you cant get a job. i bet so many people are in the same position as you and some of them may even be older than you so youre not alone.

    Like Toffuna said, there are so many people in exactly the same boat right now. it can be so frustrating applying for all these jobs just to get declined or ghosted by employers. but whats important to remember is that you should keep going, and something will eventually come around for you. but your drive and determination to overcome this barrier is something you should be proud of :3

    You’re not a failure!! I don’t think it’s even possible to be a failure at your age. I’m not even in a place to be able to attend an interview so I don’t personally know what it’s like with the job market right now but it sounds miserable. The fact that you keep trying and picking yourself back up is what makes you most certainly not a failure. <3
