I don't feel supported at all

Postby hour_glass » Fri May 17, 2013 9:54 pm

So I moved in with my boyfriend and his parents, currently unemployed but seriously searching for work. It's very difficult finding a job. I had an interview at a place I had worked at before, and they rejected me. At any other place I applied to, they didn't bother to call or email at all. And I've applied to a lot of places. I don't have a ton of experience... because no one wants to hire me.
It's been getting me down lately - especially since I feel so useless because I just stay at home all day while they all go and work...
What makes it worse is that my boyfriend keeps b*tching at me and casually scolding me for not having a job. Basically, we're planning on moving out as soon as I get a job, so it's all on me.
He has said things such as, "Please get a job, I don't want to be here forever." Or when he suggests a job for me I say, "Okay, I'll check out the details," and he gets all mad just because I don't sound too interested in it and says, "I'll just stop trying".
?????????
When he acts like that, I don't feel good at all. It's like no one is on my side - my parents treated me the same way.
I don't know what to do, I feel so hopeless.

To me, it sounds like you're not supported so you have every right to feel unsupported. Finding a job is hard if you don't have experience is hard because of the experience gap. Employers now-a-days only want to hire someone with years of experience which promotes lateral movement instead of vertical movement. That's what it means to be a tough job market though. It means that there aren't many new jobs being added so most open positions are going to workers who have already held those positions and new workers have trouble entering. I feel sorry for the young Americans trying to get on their feet with the current economic climate. Those of us who got in right before the current economic turbulence hit are fortunate although some of us are struggling with unemployment as well.

It just goes to show why you shouldn't take things for granted. As a young person in 2003-2004, I would have never guessed in a million years the events that would unfold in 2008 to our current time. I'm certainly glad I was born when I was born and not 4 years later when I might be struggling to earn money like you are, although I might be struggling too soon if the American economy suddenly collapses like some economists have predicted. I hope not, but things might get worse as opposed to better.
