Why Might I Be Struggling To Get A Job?

Hi Abby. Life has many challenges, like growing up, achieving academic qualifications, getting a job, holding down a job, getting married, raising children, etc., etc.

You will undoubtedly face at least some of these, as you have discovered.

Try to evaluate each experience and determine where it went right and where it went wrong. And learn from this evaluation if you can.

P.S. Reading this post and some of your previous ones, you put me in mind of Holden Caulfield in the book Catcher in the Rye . (This is not meant to be rude, so please don't take it badly). Now I know it's fictional, but as a diversion try reading it and thinking about whether you share any characteristics/outlook with him. It might just help you come to terms with life, and at the same time entertain you.

Good luck :-)

Lacking energy could be taken in many ways.
1. No initiative to do something without being asked
2. Always asking for help and "what to do next"
3. Slacking and working too slowly.
For caring work you need to have some basic training. If this interests you look for some work experience in a care home or hospital as an auxiliary, tea lady or similar.
For any job you have to accept a schedule that could include weekends and evening work. Your personal life would have to come second.
Always ask exactly what the job description is and what is expected of you. How much supervision you will need. What your strengths are and what you see as your weakness.

Do you live at home, what do your parents say about your situation??

Abbey, what would you really like to do for a job?

I've suggested that Abbey give a lot of thought to what she's actually interested in. Taking a job because it's convenient or simply because there is nothing else can be counterproductive.
