If you're losing motivation after only 2 months, that's a really bad sign of your mental capacity.

>struggling like you (minus all that shit after "losing motivation" i didn't go full retard like that)
>sucked it up

>want me to come in for another interview for a different position.

The thought of having to go into Kmart without my 2 weeks notice was my biggest motivation. No more helping old people pick out the right vacuum, no more listening black people complain about the prices, no more fat white housepigs using me as their personal shopper HOLY FUCK WORKING RETAIL SUCKS.

tl;dr: get any available job, stop sulking and keep applying.

I'm a high school dropout. I make I work 2 jobs. I get paid 14 an hour as sales rep and 10 an hour as security guard. I'm attending a program that will get me a degree while I get my GED. I'm going to be an HR rep. I'm currently paying off hospital bills from a fire I miraculously survived. I also am paying off a car loan that's around 13k. Funny thing is that I'm 18. I'm a fucking retard, bro. If I can manage to get two fucking jobs, you can too. Quit being a little shit and go to college or try harder at life or kill yourself.

2 months is nothing.

I graduated with a stem degree almost 2 years ago and had my first interview 7 months later. 3 months later I got a job by cold calling but was underemployed. Actually did another interview the week after I got that job but was turned down. 5 months later got flown out to the other side of the country for a hiring event but didn't get a single offer even after interviewing with 4 people. 1 month later interviewed for a semi random position, shot down again. Next month I got a call from the biggest company I had applied to and did a phone interview for half an hour. Felt like the worst one I did and felt like complete shit afterwards. Somehow got an offer the next day. Now I'm just starting as a systems engineer for the International Space Station. It was a long one and a half years after graduating but it was well worth the wait.

Literally just apply for jobs on Craigslist, you'll have a better chance of landing an interview as opposed to monster.com or glassdoor. With the latter, I never received a single response after 100+ apps. On Craigslist, I sent out 10 and got 8 responses the next day, all of which paid 13/hr or higher starting. If you're really desperate, there is no excuse to be unemployed.

lol, are you me? I've failed over 20 interview processes (about 2/3 for internships, the others for graduate jobs) in the past two years. I'm not even joking when I say the below is who they were with (not exhaustive list)

>a graduate investment banker role and another intern role
>IBM twice
>two engineering roles at two engineering supermajors
>engineering role at huge consulting company
>a big 4 internship
>my country's civil service
>my country's central bank

I applied to SO MANY but I initially failed due to sheer nervourness and autism and ugliness, but now I think it's just ugliness and robotness. I had zero friends ALL throughout uni.

Although I just got an email today about another job at a commodity trader and i am due an interview at some project finance thing

God dammit!! God damn you little fedora fuckers! I get sick of reading your whiny job shit all the time on /biz/. Let me set you young punk meat beaters straight...for a change...on some things about life:

1. Life is tough.
2. Life is tougher if you're stupid.

Take that fucking Chinese tattoo on your anterior side of your fucking upper left arm. Did you send in an application for a tattoo on the internet?? FUCK NO. You got drunk with your little goth girlfriend with the purple hair who shows her tits on Chaturbate when you're not around and together you went to a drugged up neckbeard dressed all in black, smoking a camel who "tatted" your arm an called you bro the whole time while purple tits held your little red threaded wrist and told you it's like anal for the first time and it's OK to be nervous but don't confused the hand sanitizer for lube like you did last time! And you wept a little but you went TO THE MAN IN CHARGE and got a tattoo didn't you??

And what about those dayglo orange soccer shoes on your little hairy white feet? Did you send in an application for those fucking shoes? No. You went right to where they were with your friend Roland and you giggled like a girl getting eaten out like a piece of boarding house pie as the shoes were put on your hairy little feet with the start tattoo under your ankle. And remember the skinny girl who works for the supermarket that you bumped uglies with during the kiln festival? You didn't apply to have some advanced rogering with her! No, you went up to her after 6 pints and said "I'd like to break you open like a 9 dollar shotgun and drive you to Denver!" And she said, Um, like, OK and all...." and you took her to your rented room or dorm room and you put a tie on the door so everyone would know you were in there "vigorously discussing Uganda" with her.

My point is, numb nuts, that never apply online for a job. Contact the CEO by letter and you'll be better off.

Fucking this.

I took a job as a telephone operator about a year and half ago and I've somehow ended up head of HR for my company. We've got about 100 employees and turn over about 5 million a year now.

Work hard yes, but also look for chances and openings. Position yourself in the right place at the right time. Look at who's retiring soon, look at where the company is struggling. Make time for these people and start fixing problems.

This sometimes means doing overtime unpaid, but if you really want to do well, you need to show that you're ready, capable, flexiable and loyal.
Companies are desperate for people like that, even if it doesn't always seem like it, they need people they can count on.
Be that person and you'll fly.
