Hi,
This is my first time posting and I am not the best at articulating myself so sorry if this post is a mess. I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for my post as it is not directly related to anxiety.
I am mostly writing this because I need to get it off my
chest. I am very sad at the moment and it’s difficult for me to talk about with
people I know.
I recently completed a pet grooming course and I have been searching
for a job. This job search has been so disheartening. I was told before I
completed my course by the institute that there is a high demand for groomers
but I was not told that no one wants to train you, they all want experience. And the ones that don't want experience want an "early school-leaver" so a 16-year-old that they can exploit for cheap labour. Also, every company you
apply for wants you to do unpaid trials which are not directly supervised so
therefore illegal.
I recently applied for a job and received a rude message
back from the employer. I do not understand why they were so angry at me. They
said that I was clearly not suitable because I lived in another state but I
have double-checked and the business is in the same state as me.
This message has left me so confused and disheartened. Adding
to this is a bad pet sitting experience with a family.
I am so lost. I do not
want to continue job searching in such an industry and my anxiety and bad
experiences is making it almost impossible for me to do so. I am not really sure what to do.
Thank you for reading this.
