I've been trying to get a job for months, suffered disappointment after disappointment, then I think I get something, and then I get a call from my 'employer' after one day on job, and she tells me that my work isn't good enough and that I shouldn't come in again! I told her I had no experience! What did she was going to happen!?

This is third something like this has happened. First time, it was exactly like this! Second time, I almost got scammed! Why is everytime I think I get something, it just gets shoved in my face? Why is this world so heartless!? I'm starting to lose hope...

the question is what jobs are you trying to get?


its probably not because you're not good enough, but the jobs you are doing just aren't your thing. I know we usually don't have the luxury of finding jobs that suit us, but you might have to be a bit more choosy and find something that is right for you.

you just haven't find the jog for you yet
if you keep looking and keep trying, you'll manage to find something that you are really good in

well if you get an interview they are interested. you just have to sell yourself in an interview. if they say "we're looking for someone with more experience" well they wouldn't have interviewed you if that was the case if you filled out an application for them.

when they say that, that is your opportunity to sell yourself, you can say something among the lines of "I understand that but wouldn't you want someone who doesn't know who to do it so you can mold them to the way you want them to work rather than having someone coming in with more experience and teaching them how to do it your way instead of the way they are used to. It's hard to break someone of habit whereas I don't have a habit and can be easily taught"


also it helps if you do a cover letter , resume and after an interview send a thank you letter. that could also make a difference and show that you are really dedicated into getting this job.

Well, I too have trouble finding a job ever since the place I worked at closed down XD
Finding one was also not easy since I'm not the only one looking for a job XD Last interview I was in, I was the first in a very long line >_>.
Don't put yourself down because the employer was a douche, which should of never treated you like that. I met them as Managers, Employers and Co-workers and they're usually the ones that get the boot, as I laugh and point.
You can try an Agency, Job Fair or, if able, attend college.
Just gotta keep trying until something bites.
