I'm 23. My girlfriend and I recently moved into an apartment on a whim as the deal was too great to pass up, but now I'm not holding up my part of the bargain because my spending outweighs my wages.I work two jobs, one of them is a paid internship where I get paid for 20 hours a week to type prompts into AI models and do "research." This is through a workforce program that's supposed to "prepare" me for a long-term job, but I don't see how this is gonna get me anywhere as there are no certifications gained from this.At my other job, I load trucks for FedEx. I work anywhere from 9-14 hours a week and the only pro I get from it is building muscle through the labor.On the side, I have applied for approximately 90 jobs in the past few months pertaining to administrative healthcare stuff and other odd jobs. Some through the same employer(s), others in cities 30 min away. I have 5 years experience in the healthcare field, but so far I have had about 9 interviews and not received a call back for a single one. I usually spend only about a year to a year and a half at each of my jobs and I think this has been plaguing my ability to be impressionable to employers.I'm suspended from college so I would have to reapply to get back in. My parents refuse to give me their paperwork for financial aid, and right now I really don't have any goals besides pay off my debts and live comfortably. In other words I can't really take time off from working to "educate" to get a better opportunity.How can I repair my image and find a long-term career that will suit me?
The job hopping is a bad look. Once or twice is fine but if you do it with literally every job it doesn't look good. Any specific reasons you did that? Have recruiters asked you about it? Applications are a numbers game, everyone is throwing shit to see what sticks and you gotta do the same.A 10% conversion rate from application to interview is decent so I would work on how those interviews are going. Make notes immediately after in the car and ask for feedback if they say thanks but no thanks. Most won't answer you but some will and you lose nothing by asking, they've already said no. Follow up every couple weeks if you haven't heard back. Everyone is really busy and a lot of hiring managers really drag their feet. It's unfortunate but not unusual for the process to take up to a month.t. HR
Is staying a year considered "job hopping"?
>>33833031>>Any specific reasons you did that?Partly environmental partly sperging out. Have had to legitimately leave due to loss of housing/transportation. Others I have just had breakdowns at work that have caused me to walk out. Seeking help for that atm. I haven't been asked about it in interviews except for one where they kinda just brought up "you're not really tenured anywhere">>Ask for feedbackI have asked a couple, only one has followed up so far and it was just "keep up the great work!" but I will follow up with a couple of others.
>>33832894>My parents refuse to give me their paperwork for financial aidPaperwork for what? To convince the government that you need money for being mental?Also how do you even have. agf? 4chan taught me that if you're not rich, let alone struggling like you are, you can't get one! Unless your gf is mental too?Hmm, my advice? Wtf do you even want to do with your life? Ok, "live comfortably", what does that mean to you??
>>33832894>>33833477Not trying to be a shitty pessimist but OP might not have a girlfriend for long. Relationships where the women is the breadwinner are unstable, and I don’t care what OP says his girl is definitely looking down on him for it. I say this from experience; a few years ago I was living with my ex fiancée and she worked a full time job while I got my career on my feet after I had finished school. I started a small business and didn’t really make any money the first few years, meanwhile she started getting eyes for guys at work. Her loss since now the business is booming and I make more than her, but yeah some girls just don’t get the vision. For the most part women are jackals, they’re survivors, they’re worrying about tomorrow not ten years from now. In general my advice to young men is that the whole “play house with your long term GF, share responsibilities, be equal partners, pick up the slack for each other” thing actually doesn’t fucking work. You should be building your own life as a man and bringing women in. Otherwise if she decides to up and leave one day, it’s gonna literally break your life apart. Really the only exception is if you get to baby making right away because kids can and do keep relationships together, but even then it’s a gamble. Much better to be established solo and bring a woman in than to build something with her, an unpredictable, emotional and capricious creature. Anyway OP, my advice to you is trades. The “experience” you got working as a fucking teenager is probably worthless unless you actually got into something like medical coding or another actual skill. Pick a blue collar and work your way up to foreman, it’s the most reliable path to a good income without a college degree.
