I have two Tesco job interviews coming up, one tomorrow and one on Friday, and I’m feeling quite nervous and not very hopeful. I’ve had several interviews over the past year, including two for Tesco before, and I tend to struggle with interviews in general. I’m trying to take things minute by minute and focus on getting a good night’s sleep tonight. I even bought a new duvet, which might seem small, but it’s a little thing to look forward to. I’ve been preparing using ChatGPT to build my confidence. I heard about a guy who helps people get into work, so I called him, and he told me to come into the library, where he said he’ll help. I also saw my key worker today and told him how long I’ve been trying to find a job and just asked for more help, so he’s contacting someone to put me on a programme that’s supposed to get me into work within 30 days. On top of that, Amazon have invited me in on Saturday to talk about a delivery driver job. I’ve heard mixed things about them, like they can make you do hundreds of deliveries a day, but I’m still going to go and see what it’s about. I’m just trying not to get my hopes up too much, as I’ve been in similar situations before where things seemed promising but didn’t go to plan.


Im hoping soon 1 thing or another something works out because the last few Christmases / end of the year etc or this kind of time have been hard as it feels like another year I've failed and I’ve been struggling for so long and always worried about my future, then setbacks and I have been looking for work since early last year, before that was setbacks and I didnt know what I want to do, I finished college in 2022, I just wasn't finding my feet before job searching, I just didn't know what I wanted to I was tried stuff that didn't work out and I just looking for work since early last year so Im just hoping something happens soon because I've not had the best self-esteem with all this, its been hard and long winded.

    Hey there @Redemption it sounds like you've made a significant amount of progress in your job hunt over the last few days. A massive well done! Being invited to some interviews at Tesco, a talk with Amazon about a possible delivery driver job, reaching out to someone who helps people get into work and also working with your key worker to get on a programme. You're working so hard to get a job and it really does show. It's super impressive how you've consistently picked yourself back up and continued to hunt for a job. Well done!

    I'm mindful the interviews and the talk with amazon might've happened over the last few days. Do you feel comfortable sharing how they went? Totally okay if you don't feel comfortable sharing. The Community are here for your either way!
