How to get a new job by NotSpecial

"not as sattisfying as it should have been, but still very much worth it."

How I did it: So TECHNICALLY i didnt get a new job. i quit my old job because i haaaaated it soo much. and then i stupidly ended up applying for the same job at a different store (more than an hour and a half away from where i live) and got the job! it seemed really ridiculous at first but i needed the money so i took it. Surprisingly tho it has made me happier because even tho its the same old job ive been doing for the last 2 years its a whole new environment, whole new set of people and a it has a completely different feel to it. So if its possible why not do what i did and maybe consider not changing jobs but just changing the scenery??

I don’t want to be just a number in the world I want to do something with my life, thing is that you need money to have fun

NotSpecial meeeeow

well how high are you aiming?
my problem with finding a new job was that i had too high standards I was aiming for jobs that i clearly wasnt gonna get and when i lowered my standards a bit i got a job straight away. some times it pays off to start small.

that may or may not apply to you.

if you cant finda job there has to be a reason. figure it out and work on it. if you never even get interviews then work on your application, eg resume, cover letters, phone manner etc. if you get th interviews but dont get the jobs then do some interview practice with a mate nd get them to point out where your goin wrong.

and it doesnt hurt too ask the employers why it is that they didnt want to hire you… their feed back is probably the most relevant.

stay positive and keep looking. finding a job isnt easy, its just about perserverance. eventually youll find something!

maybe even look into dong some kind of training!

I think this might be the case for me too

I don’t hate my current job, I’m just slightly irratated about having my hours instable for so long now. I also think I’ve reached a bit of a plateau in where I can go from here.

I talk about what I’m doing to take action about this here:

But notice how I’m thinking about going from one ecommerce company to another.

Also, the best time to find a job, is when you already have one, so before you start tearing your hair out at this one, start putting your feelers out for the next one. Best of luck to you and much happiness at your current job :)
