Applying for jobs
Just started applying for jobs for the first time since September last year.
My previous strategy was to apply for random listings on Indeed. That got a couple of interviews
My current strategy is to look up what kind of jobs I think are the least wrong for my personality and temperament. Looked up "warehouse"
Bored and lonely as f**k
Applying for jobs makes me want to be emotionally overeating s**t. It feels like sending applications into a black hole
Stressful
Scared of becoming homeless s**t
Applied for a couple of jobs
The Press Operator job texted me today and I texted back. It hasn't phoned me this far. Maybe it won't. But whatever. It's full time. All my other jobs part time. And it's 1.5 miles away from the train station. If it ends up the last resort, fine. Otherwise I don't even have the time and energy for the public transportation commute. Besides the job involves standing up inside and you don't know what kind of ride and annoying coworkers work there
Applying for jobs is riskful for me. When an application is pretty succesful, there is a fair chance, there will be an interview. There is some chance that I get the job.
Unfortunately there is a fair chance that the employer appears not to like me. No are minor complaints, but I would get fired for obscure reasons, in that case. Then I have to guess. Lacking of social skills (in the past I am way more introverted and socially awkward than I am now), being an intellectual threat, or whatever other kinds of excuses to get rid of me.
And then I would be unemployed. I would not be able to return to my previous lousy job (although things are changing at my current job, because my current boss is way better than my previous ones). Should I take that risk, or should I accept being abused? A nasty dilemma. Lack of workload and being umemployed is very bad for my mental health.
This above situation is not reality, but very likely when I do apply for another job.
