I just found out that I was rejected from a job that I interviewed for.
It felt awkward.
I was unsure if we had to keep it going for 15 minutes or if we could stop once we'd reached 10 messages each.
Hello there, how are you feeling today?

I am really sorry to hear that. It seems to be happening to a lot of people right now. Do you have anything on the back burner?
assistant
Question
No. I've had a lot of interviews but no one seems to want to hire me :(

I would not take it personally - I have been struggling to find work too. I think it's the pandemic.

Sorry to hear you've been struggling too! I think it's just frustrating because there seems to be lots of jobs out there, but I must be giving a bad impression during my interviews.

Don't put yourself down! That is a really bad habit to get into when job hunting but i know how easy it is to do.

Interviews are so stressful, though! I can't stand the thought of needing to do more of them.

Have you contemplated trying temping agencies? They pay might not be great but it is enough to get you by whilst you find something that you really want to do.

That's a good idea. I hadn't really thought of that.

I've done a fair bit of it before ... there are good and bad aspects. You get to go to a lot of different places but it's also difficult to make friends and get settled.

That does sound hard for me. I'm really shy around new people.

Me too. But the upside is you can pretty much choose your own hours

How did you handle having to work with new people all of the time?

To be honest it was not all that easy. I tended to keep my head down a lot and just smile vaguely when someone made eye contact.

That sounds hard. I don't know if I can do that. It feels like I'll never get a job.

What about something that involves less physical contact? There's always gig work online.

I wouldn't know where to start with that. I feel like m ost "online" jobs are probably scams.

I work on Amazon Mechanical Turk - if you're diligent you can make a fair few bucks there. Not sure it's a living wage though but you could try it
