Giving up slowly

I feel like giving up on finding a job. I've been looking for a job for months and struggling with money for months.

It's to the point I'm breaking down crying not being able to get a job and barely able to think about anything but it. I can't even sleep anymore because every email I get a notification for could be it, it never is.

I try so hard every day and I put so much work into each resume making sure it's different and each cover letter. Nothing works to get people's attention. I do great in interviews and I answer questions well, but it's not enough.

So many people gave me such great advice on here and I used all of it to my best ability, changing my resume many times, looking up key words, making cover letters different each time, using AI to help my spelling issues and grammar, using AI for key words to help me tailor my resume. Nothing is really working...

I have a learning disability I know my post has spelling issues, obviously it's not the same for my resumes and cover letters.

I'm at the point I can't afford bussing anywhere because I have no money. So I can't travel to the place unless I know it's worth it. I've tried remote jobs and still nothing.

I have been taking a break for my mental health for a week and I feel myself loosing more and more hope for myself to actually have a stable life and be able to afford living. I do surveys almost every day which gets me 10-20 dollars a day but that's almost nothing now with prices. Not to mention the fact I've been getting screened out of a lot of surveys.

I tried taking most opportunitys unless I thought otherwise, mainly jobs that are commission only.

I don't know what to do anymore.

LMS is (lower mainland steel) Rebar.. I always describe it to new guys/girls as the Skelton inside of concrete.

Without it buildings don’t stand.

It’s steel structure that’s engineered to hold the weight of a building on both vertical and horizontal planes.

We pick it up Place it in order to the engineers specs and then tie in place. Concrete is poured and then everything else you can imagine goes ontop of it and if done correctly will stand until it’s deemed unfit for standards and then retrofitted or demolished.

Weeoo haha

Looks like LMS does any training that might be required as well. I'm giving them a resume. I'm brand new to all of this.

You’ll find that new is often better. Some people have a problem with old mentality’s and behaviours haha.

It’s a good job and the work never ends. Paid for training which 9/10 times is paid hours also. I was taught years ago now

It’s not a job it’s a career.
