Money

Jobs and money..


I'm 35 almost and never had a stable job.

I don't know what to do. I try and I try but even if I'm smart and graduated I can't find anything.


Just little things to get by but this is just surviving not really living.

I'm sorry to hear about your struggle to find a stable job. Job hunting can be soul destroying.

In which aspect of finding a stable job do you find the problem is? Finding a role you want to apply for? Getting an interview? Getting an offer after an interview? Or staying in a job, once you have one?

What would be your dream job?

I hope you have more success soon.

Actually just have a contract would be nice. I'm a languages graduated but I've never had a normal job just doing teachings from time to time mostly qs private lessons. I have so many health issues and some of them are disabling and no money.

I understand. I imagine that private teaching gives you lots of flexibility, but little security or stability and that can be quite stressful.

I'm sorry to hear about your disability. I know exactly how that can make everything more challenging.

My suggestion is to try looking outside of your qualifications. I know someone who trained as a linguist, but is now a very successful engineer. They recognised that they were creative, organised and wanted to understand the "why" of everything, and found a job that suited those qualities. I doubt exactly the same would work for you, but sometimes thinking outside the box can lead to interesting results.

Best wishes.

Hello.


I can understand you well and I know how much it’s hard. Have you ever tried freelancing. I did that until I got my job.


Don’t worry everything will be alright soon. Don’t think you’re alone. We are with you here ❤️

@sympatheticSquare6031 don't feel bad everybody has a different path that they take in life and that's what makes the world full of diversity if you ever need someone to talk to you I'm here
