[Resolved] Can't Get a Job

I applied for like 30+ jobs. I even applied to KFC. I got an interview and got promptly rejected (lmao). They sent the email less than an hour after the interview. Also got rejected from Coles interview.

I've got nothing to put on my resume. Literally nothing (don't know what an 18 year old would have though). I'm an awful student (65 Atar), so I can't do tutoring. Never had work experience before. I don't have friends or family who can refer me. I'm not athletic at all and have a weak build. My character is pretty bad TBH. My "community" also isn't very helpful, as I went over the the mall and asked them for a job. There is literally nothing going for me.

Some people have told me volunteering. But quite frankly, I don't care about helping people, nor do I feel any satisfaction for it. I just want money.

Part time jobs would rather hire 14 year olds who they can underpay or older people who are more flexible with their times. And the shitty government doesn't give assistance for a job until I'm 21 and on the hook for Centrelink.

I don't understand the song and dance around applying for a minimum wage. YES I'M APPLYING FOR A MINIMUM WAGE, WAGE JOB. NO, I DON'T WANT TO STAY FOREVER. NO, THE JOB DOENS'T GIVE ME PRIDE.

I'm begging you. If you have a job at 7/11 or a some type of cornerstone clerk, please give me advice.

EDIT: I'll be entering uni in 2024. I want a part time job not a career

    cornerstone clerk

    Also clearly a troll post

    I made up a bullshit story about me running late to my math class and apologising to my teacher. Irl when the teacher asked my why I was late, I told him to get bent

    18yo OP has declared that they are only here to rant - and seems to be engaging here as if this is a shoot-em-up video game

    'ooh - there's another positive suggestion I can shoot down - bang, bang - got 'em!'

    worst case - incel continues down wormhole of 8chan and dark net - joins Islamic State, comes out of his basement bedroom with a weapon, wants to be famous for his actions, and injures people before meeting his own demise.

    best case - maturity - prefrontal cortex develops by age 25 then behaves like a normal adult - here's hoping

    when I was younger and looking for a casual job in Melbourne last century, I walked into a cafe near Lygon St with a 'staff wanted' sign in the window, the boss asked me if I had experience - I lied and said yes - he put me to work straightaway - within ten minutes he saw I had no experience and fired me

    I walked out up the street and into another cafe similarly - they asked if I had experience - I told the truth - I said yes.

    Have you considered aged care work as they are always looking for people? The same with individual support. the pay is reasonably good but the work can be off putting for some.

    Security guard is another type of work where they are always looking for people. The pay is not great but the work is also quite minimal.

    I just noticed the army recruitment advertisement on the ide banner. That also might be a good choice.

      OP hates people and OP hates people as well as leaving the house, and OP hates physical labour, so while all reasonable suggestions, OP wont do them

    Feel sorry for anyone that has to work with you in the future. You seem like the type that would make co workers lives difficult.

    I hope you never end up in a management role.

    glory hole with tip jar and you're set.

    If only OP had spent some time reflecting on ways they could improve themselves, then wasting time posting 154 times in their own thread arguing with people who are giving advice. Troll threads are getting out of hand on here.
