I am extremely Angry.....to the point of f*****g hatred.

Post Reply New Topic

I graduate college last year. I have been applying to jobs, attending career fairs, reviewing resumes, and general career searching since I was a sophomore in college.
Well after graduation, I applied to every job there was, even jobs that I was 'overqualified for".

What did I get, nothing. Still, a whole f*****g year later....I still get sent back rejection letters, rejected for an interview.

I am in graduate school currently.

Meanwhile,
THE CLASSMATES I GRADUATED WITH GOT JOBS THE MINUTE THEY GRADUATED, AND ARE ALWAYS ON FACEBOOK AND LINKEDIN BOASTING ABOUT PROMOTIONS, SALARIES, APARTMENTS, VACATIONS, RELATIONSHIPS ETC..... They have lives and I don't.

It angers me that it hasn't happened for me.

It go so bad, I became so jealous of one woman, and trolled her on facebook....didn't give a s**t about her feelings. Actually, I wish she were dead because she had everything I could ever want, and I was miserable living at home. If I was in her state, i may have done something!

I have that hate problem too.

Used to be over envy, when I was younger. What worked for me, was doing what did work for me and learning to want what that could get me. I am happier now than a lot of people who have the great career.

My hate now is with people that have judged me or f****d with me in the past. I just cannot let it go.

The only advice I have to give you, is just keep plugging. Find things that do work, and do them.

And stay the hell off Facebook. Yuck. The place where people paint and polish their lives to look so much more betterer. Ick. Gaaaaaag.

Wow, that is indeed some severe anger!

just a thought: perhaps you come off differently in interviews than you think you do, which may be why you aren't getting the job. have you ever thought about seeking advice from a career coach or therapist?

videotaping a mock interview with you is often the most helpful thing they'll do. after which, you'll review it together, seeing if there's anything you may want to change or improve on (such as: dress, gait, eye contact, handshake, facial expressions, mannerisms, content and/or length of responses, tone of voice, confidence, breathing, fidgeting, calmness, etc.).

keep in mind, you might not like what they have to say -- especially if you're sensitive to criticism, no matter how constructive it may be...then again, that's what you signed up for! -- as it's usually quite difficult to detect short comings in our own selves (yet, it's dang easy to detect them in others, eh?!)

career coaching can be free in some locales, and therapy (or counseling) is often covered by insurance. but if neither of those apply in your situation and you can't afford it, you may want to consider videotaping a mock interview with a relative or friend, and then asking a few trusted people for their opinion (and you can upload it online to reach out to more people).

Good Luck....and please, don't be hating on anyone for their good fortune. after all, when it's your turn to shine, you certainly wouldn't want anyone hating on you.

"Keep Karma and Carry On", as they say.

I hear you! I get so ANGRY I seek revenge, and 'cuz I'm a sharpie, I come up with something ingenious.

Then I feel horrible that I pulled that, oh well, they are ass*****

I may be the last person on the planet without a facebook account. I poked around a few years ago, and all I saw was people posting all of this crap about how wonderful their lives were - people who I know in real life, and know that isn't anywhere NEAR the reality.

Log off of that high school clique time sink and focus on getting a job.

What did you major in? What did they major in? Did they partake of internships? Did you? Are you getting to the interview phase? What kind of jobs are you applying for?
