lost with my life

[lilmissblush]

I followed your guys advice, i looked into the army, and i got accepted only to be turned back down a week later as i have metal in my arm, i really thought i got it and pinned everything on it, i stopped looking for jobs, me and my ex was arguing soo much that we broke up.
So now i have an amazing new boyfriend but he has a tricky past, this girl tricked him into getting her pregnant 2 months before we met and he broke up after he found out.
I know its not the answer but i started getting upset and depressed after i got turned down, i was getting shouted at by everyone and getting mocked because they just didn't get how much the army actually meant to me.
Now ive stopped drinking but his ex is trying to tell him about the baby and wants him back which hes said no, my ex is also trying to get me back which is stressing me out.
i now have no job as much as im looking, i applied to over 500 jobs in a week yet still nothing, i haven't a clue what to do and feel like everything is just getting on top of me, been to the job center and they didn't over ally want to know, im stuck with what to do in life now.... i cant even afford christmas i feel soo useless to the world

i work 39 hours a week and i can't afford christmas. You've applied for 500 jobs in one week? you can't be focusing on so many and getting anywhere, be more selective, there is no way you could have been the right candidate for all those 500 jobs, you need to register with online job sites but set your filters in a detailed way so as to avoid wasting your time, if you sent off 500 applications the lack of success will have a bigger impact on you, the job centre have computers that you can use to search for yourself, the people in the job centre are clerks, not experts in employment.

I hate having to say this, but if your CV and application letters have as many grammatical mistakes as this post does you will be very lucky to get even a reply. Any job now is likely to attract over a 100 applications, and the first thing an employer will do to is to throw out any application with spelling or grammatical mistakes . They reason that if the applicant can't take the trouble to get an application correct they are not going to bother about the job being done correctly. Hard but true.

wonder why the army doesn;t want someone with metal in their arm?

[lilmissblush]

i have too much metal, below my elbow is mostly metal, i haven't any grammar errors in my CV just getting no replies.

with total jobs you upload your cv and then they send you matching jobs and you apply online, it would be a better way

The army is not for everyone. They tend to bee rather choosy when selecting people who are prepared to risk death for their country, so don't feel too bad about it.

lol boys can't be "tricked" into getting a girl pregnant. Also your boyfriend is a tit for breaking up with a girl because he got her pregnant - he sounds utterly delightful and i can't believe you both want him!
Also, i very very much doubt you applied for 500 jobs in one week. Even if you stayed awake for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week you'd still only have around 20 minutes for each application (and that's withput time for eating, sleeping, pooing, cooking, talking to your BF etc)

In an earlier you wanted to be a nurse then you had your heart set on being a teacher, now you want to join the army. Perhaps you are depressed or maybe you're just somebody who feels sorry for themselves when jobs don't fall into your lap! At the risk of sounding harsh, and I do apologise if it IS a sort of depression, I'm just going to say, get off your harris and go and do some voluntary work at your local hospital or hospice or dogs home or whatever instead of moaning. You can ALWAYS be useful in SOME capacity. Best of luck.

why do you have metal in your arm ?

You are obviously intelligent or you wouldn't have been accepted for teacher training in the past. Sounds as if you need to concentrate on yourself and what you want in the future instead of flitting from one idea to the next. Maybe if you set yourself a goal for next year and really worked towards it, things would look less bleak. Christmas will come and go whether we can afford it or not - it's one day so don't put yourself under additional pressure.
