200 Job Applications, Zero Interviews—Is It Me or the System?

I’m 20, living in Chicago, and after four years in retail, I finally quit my last job because my managers seemed to have a personal vendetta against happiness. Now, I’ve applied to over 200 retail and hospitality jobs in just two weeks. Not a single interview. Not even a polite rejection email—just radio silence. I’ve tweaked my resume, changed my cover letter, and I’m as flexible as a yoga instructor. Still, nothing. Is it my experience, my timing, or is the job market just playing hard to get? I’m starting to panic, and honestly, I can’t help but wonder if I’m missing some secret handshake. If you’ve ever felt invisible in your job search, you’re not alone. Let’s talk about it. 😅 #JobHunting #CareerStruggles #RetailLife #JobCareer
