Job Rejections Everywhere! Why Am I Suddenly Unhirable? 😱

Lately, I've been hitting a wall in my job search, and it's honestly starting to mess with my confidence. I have years of experience and a solid resume, but every application I send out seems to get rejected almost instantly—even for roles I’m clearly qualified for. This has never happened to me before, and I can’t help but wonder if the job market is just that tough right now, or if I’m missing something major. It’s so discouraging to feel invisible after putting in so much effort. Has anyone else been through this? How did you deal with the constant rejections? I’d really appreciate any advice or encouragement. Feeling pretty lost right now. 😔 #JobSearchStruggles #CareerAdvice #WorkplaceWoes #JobCareer #Career

Why Is Job Hunting a Nightmare Now?

Every time I try to apply for a job, I feel like I’m fighting a losing battle against some ancient computer system that just wants to eat my resume and spit out a rejection in record time. I spend hours tweaking keywords, only to get a “no thanks” email before I’ve even had a chance to blink. And don’t get me started on the expectations—apparently, I’m supposed to be a master of everything, even if the software I’m supposed to know only came out last year. But if I don’t have those magical two years of experience, I’m out of luck. Meanwhile, loyalty is a one-way street, and pay raises are just a myth. I’m honestly at my wit’s end. Is it just me, or is the whole system broken? How do you all deal with this mess? Any advice would be a lifesaver right now. 😩🤷‍♂️ #GreatResignation #JobSearchStruggles #WorkplaceRealTalk #JobCareer

37-Year-Old Autistic Man Struggles to Find Work After 9 Years Unemployed 😔

I'm a 37-year-old man living in Florida, and I've been out of work for nine years due to personal reasons. I have autism, and even though I have a decade of retail experience, getting back into the workforce has been way harder than I ever imagined. I've applied to countless retail jobs, thinking my past experience would help, but after nine months, I still haven't landed anything. I do my best in interviews, but masking is tough for me, and my monotone voice makes it hard to sound confident. Even with practice and help from others, I get nervous and stumble when questions catch me off guard. Most of the time, I don't even get called back, and when I do, it never goes anywhere. I even got a forklift license to try warehouse jobs, but that hasn't worked out either. I feel stuck and honestly, I'm at a loss for what to do next. Has anyone else been through this? I could really use some advice or encouragement right now. 😞 #JobSearchStruggles #AutismAtWork #CareerAdvice #JobCareer #Career
