    Im just outside the store now, gonna go in a few mins but hopefully this job or something else comes up soon and I could pottentially get some money together for a new car I know its first world problems but my fiesta you can feel everything on the road like a coke can a bit. I can save some money too with a job which I really want to do too. I don't want to do any courses or volunteering anymore, I wanna make money.

    Ive done now, Ive got another interview tomorrow, hopefully Im moving forward instead of just staying in the same place, I fell out with an organisation, I wont say who but they were just saying do course after course and longing it out so I thought just not bother. Like they had placements but kept saying do different courses, I don't need to do 100 courses just to work in Boots like I just don't, maybe 1 course is helpful. Sorry for the rant but yh hopefully I move forward truly soon.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow as well :heart: (omg the heart emoji is back yess)

    @Redemption It’s completely okay to share how you’re feeling so no need to apologise at all because as @Nemuritai said, we are here to support and listen. It sounds like you’re trying so hard to move forward and we are proud of you for keeping at it. You’ve been making a lot of effort and interviews are a strong sign that things are moving in the right direction. I truly hope you receive some positive outcomes soon.

    I've had kind of a rough day. It's difficult to explain but I feel really depressed at times and it's like all my energy disappears and I just feel like a complete failure. It's been all I can do to just hold on and get through the day honestly.

    @Nemuritai I’m really sorry you’re carrying so much today. That sounds so heavy. We are really proud of you for getting through the day, even when it felt overwhelming. Please know that you are definitely not a failure at all or even close to one and rough days don’t reflect negatively on who you are. In fact, managing to take it one step at a time to keep going shows just how much strength you have. You don’t have to explain everything perfectly or have it all figured out. I echo what @Redemption said. You’re not alone and you don’t have to carry this by yourself.

    I have my 2nd interview this week, Im just leaving in a few minutes, hopefully Im not late. They said there's no negative feedback for yesterday's, they just went for someone with more experience.
  • KatieKatie Community Manager Posts: 1,902 Extreme Poster
    Good luck @Redemption !! You'll be gaining more experience with each interview you do and they're all another step forward. Keep going - you've got this!

    @Redemption you probably won't see this until afterwards but good luck, I know you'll do great :heart: The fact that there was no negative feedback from yesterday's is a really good sign - that means you're getting a lot better at interviews and it's only a matter of time before you land a job. I'm honestly so proud of you for continuing to look for work and doing interviews despite setbacks, that takes a lot of perseverance. You've got this :heart:

    Thank you again @Katie and @Nemuritai just waiting now, you're too kind to me

    I am glad to hear that you’re getting another chance @Redemption as that says a lot about how well you did. No negative feedback means you left a good impression and that is something we are proud of.
    Great news that you made it through. I hope the interview went well and fingers crossed that you found your car quickly.

    Really appreciate it, thank you so much @Nemuritai , I should do, I'm probably not going to any courses, I had a couple offered to me, this person kept arguing with me over that and other stuff. I said I don't want to do any more courses or volunteering or anything and they were just constantly just arguing with me over that and just my goals in life like I think its fair to not want to do courses after doing multiple and want to just get a paid job.

    No problem at all @Redemption. That's absolutely fair enough to not want to do courses, it's your decision and people should respect that. I think it's great that you know what you want to do in terms of work, and I'm certain you'll find something soon, hopefully a job that you feel happy and fulfilled doing :heart: We're here for you :heart:
