I should have marched into businesses the next day and kept on persisting until I got the job. I held my cool and did nothing and got more depressed and one day I just gave up and just wrote jobs down that I never applied for or look at job ads online and list them down on forms. Not applying for jobs got me the same results of applying for jobs that never stood a chance of ever getting. I never applied for thousands of jobs, I lost count and gave up after a while and became depressed. I will never apply for another job ever again because I do not have a resume, no experience and no skills and too old for the retail/fast food jobs.

I hated those: we will call you rejections. What a joke, they never ever call back. I should have made more noise, showed some passion and determination and fought for what I want in this world. Instead of accepting those not today excuses. I should be asking why not? It is an insult to be overlooked for every job and never given a reason why you never got the job. In my job applications I used to write detailed essays on how I would be the most suitable candidate, addressed the criteria and claim I would do whatever it takes to make the business more profitable and working hard to be the best employee for the company. A job applicant with a rubbish resume or no resume, family or friend of employer/manager got the job every time instead of me, clearly proved it was who you know, not what you know got the job.
