Hi @Nick160199 I just wanted to tell you that a lot of people feel that way when they struggle to find work, you're not alone with that. I remember applying for soooo many jobs and feeling the same way when I didn't hear back from any of them. It can be hard, but it's important to try not to base your value as a human off things like your employment or study. You are valuable regardless

Hi @Nick160199! Welcome to the forums! It's nice to e-meet you.
It can be so tough when you can't find a job. I was in a similar predicament to you up until recently and it was so demoralising. It was like finding a needle in a haystack but in the end, I think my my volunteer work and one-off jobs helped me get the position. There are also a lot of other members who have had similar issues with finding jobs if you do a search on here.
We have a lot of resources on the ReachOut website about finding jobs and how to cope if you don't have one that you might find helpful.

Hi @Nick160199 !

Glad to see a new face, I go on reach out since it's a good way for me to get experience, but more importantly I get to help others, and I also feel supported myself especially when life gets too overwhelming. 

Don't feel like a failure for not getting a job, people have their own timelines. My brother for example got his first job at 20 after years of applying around and he felt really lost. Now he's working, recently bought a motorcycle, and is doing well for himself despite some people seeing him as being "behind".

Plus, during the pandemic, it can be more challenging to find employment.

Hope you are well!
