I can't get no freaking help no matter how much I beg and plead

Everything I tried every suggestions given here turns up empty

Why are there no resources to help me I NEED A JOB AND FREAKING PLACE TO LIVE!!!!!

I HAVE A FREAKING DISABILITY THAT MAKES THINGS DIFFICULT I CANT"T FREAKING HELP THAT!!!!!!

WHY DOES THE U.S. HATE PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES WHERE IS THE HELP ME NEED TO SUCCEED IN THIS FORSAKEN COUNTRY!!!!!!!?

I NEED A FREAKING JOB AND A PLACE TO LIVE WILL SOMEONE OUT THERE PLEASE HELP ME AND PUT THE PREJUDICE ABOUT DISABILITIES ASIDE

At this point I just want this topic closed and I'll leave everyone here alone.

I should know before now I'm not gonna get the help I keep asking for and I'm being ignored anyway     

Emily.

I've spent the last 12 months applying for jobs.

I've no disability, it's just hard. Each day I just get up again, and try again. It's all I can do sweetie. 2 or 3 applications a week, some reject by text, some by email, some just don't bother at all.

I'm not 'old' but I am experienced at a high level in my field, and have been on very groundbreaking work, in my other country. Except here in my new country, it's as if none of that counts at all. I've had extended days when the desire to cease, has been very high. I'm rejected because I'm too experienced, to old, too young, too qualified, I'd get too bored, the role is too junior, the list goes on. And on. And on.

I do understand, and we are listening, keep on loading images to shutter stock, and the other commercial sites. It takes time for a following to build.

Join some Facebook groups, that are with your interests, promote your work. Heck, if a single photo can be sold for $4 million US, there has to be some hope. Try some portrait work, get practiced with photoshop, use the rules to be your strengths to master and follow identical techniques, to push your results higher. Enter competitions, you never know what might happen (a friend did once, on a whim, and is now running photography classes and tours). All of this takes time - you have plenty, and I'm sure you can succeed.

Been going two years here now

I don't know anymore just give me a reason why I just shouldn't kill myself like I tried over the holidays and the worse part are the heartless responses I've got back around the last two months. I don't need my disability ignored that's part of why I got fired from the two jobs I had. I need an understanding employer can someone here give me a list of those that are?? 

Sweetie, if I had that information, I'd've sent it like a shot.
There is one place that may know, and that's your careers advice team at college, but it varies, country to country, state to state, town to town, and they only way to find out is by asking around, or looking to see which employer locally has a few folk who are less able working for them...

I've tried them countless times they keep coming up empty I just need to finally accept i'm not good enough for any job, to society, my parents, etc. I'm better off not living at all

With all do respect Emily I am going to do to you what a girl named JenTay did to me. Its tough loving time. We have given you plenty of good advice as Sadie mentioned. Not just advice but also companies and businesses that could be of great service to you to work at. I even mentioned to you as someone who also suffers from a form of autism that a baking job at your local grocery store would probably be right up your ally. I mentioned that and you said you would pass on that. The issue is if you want to move on in your current sitation you will have to settle for a job you probably dont want until you can find one you will want. One way or another your resume needs to be built on. We can give you all the advice until you are blue in the face, however we cant solve your setbacks on a personal level. I understand the feelings of hurt and hopelessness, not just yestarday i was thinking of pulling the plug on all the things that matter to me. But, one has to keep moving on. So you got turned down at this current job, thats one in a million. I have had over ten jobs in my short working life, somestimes 2 jobs at a time. But i probably applied to over 100 places in those years. Just dont let one thing trip you up. Dont let yourself be feeling so upset at that thing that you will think of pulling the plug on your dreams, goals and even your own life. Dont allow that darkness to come in. Keep looking and dont put the carriage before the horse either!

I am applying to jobs I don't really want

They won't even hire me

So yeah I know for a fact I'm not good enough for anyone or anything

Honey, it's a sign of the times. Don't take it personal. There's a ton of folks out there that can't find jobs. They have worth and so do you. But if you won't believe you have value, how can you possibly expect anyone else to? Your self confidence is what will attract others to you. Without it, you're a rudderless ship. People are selfish by their nature. They're attracted to what you can offer them. If that is helplessness and negativity, they're going to naturally recoil. Stand outside your body and look at you, objectively. Do you want to know you?
      Be proud, be confident, hold your head high and demand respect,.... respectfully. Visualize a world you want and then actualize your behavior and energies to make it happen. This is how it's done, even by people who don't understand the dynamic. Wayne Dyer stated very eloquently, that the old adage "I'll believe it when I see it, was ass backwards. The reality, he stated, is actually, I'll see it when I believe it.  You must creatively visualize what you want. If you tell the forces of the universe that you're not worthy....well....they generally take you at your word and create the appropriate circumstance The point to all this? Personal resposibility. when you look all your life and wonder, how did I get here? Well,........ you drove. Where you are today is completely because of decisions you made in the past. Knowing that allows you to change course, if you wish.  You are the Captain of the ship that is your life. If you don't want it on the rocks, quit steering it there.

That alone make life not worth living

When it comes to reading between the lines I am as useful as a 3 dollar bill. But I think JenTay is saying dont shot the messanger. Again, there has been so much good advice, words of wisdom and a lot of that has been shown here. Times are tough but life is worth living. Many people cant find work even without a disability but they keep grinding away at the search until someone says yes. You are just going to have to do the same, its sucky but what else can one do?

Can you at least tell me what I should do if I can't ever get hired?? I really need to know regardless of the future

I wish I still had the spreadsheets to show you all the jobs I applied for when I was job hunting. When I was looking to leave my last job, I applied for just over 600 positions. Do you know how many I heard back from? Less than 20. And that's having 2 degrees and close to a decade of work experience.

It's just the times we live in unfortunately. There are more people than there are jobs available. That's part of why you see so many people doing freelance work or starting their own companies. It's easier to save up some cash to invest in yourself and your success than it is to find a job sometimes. That is what I would look into doing if you can't get hired anywhere. There is loads of room in the market for innovation, you just have to think about what you're good at or where there is a lack of existing services. And while doing the work to get that started, I would apply for disability. If you have the paperwork that says you have a disability, even if it takes months to make a determination - do it.

One thing I will note, is that many times when places say they have an opening or are hiring for a position, they say that because they are required to. They'll take in resumes for that position but often times they already have someone in mind for the job either internally or referred by someone that already works there. So that could be the case for you.

What sort of places do you go often? Do you go out to eat anywhere regularly? Go shopping anywhere? Think of places where people might already know you, and consider applying to those places. It gets said often, but in the job market it's not always about what you know but who you know. If you can get to know someone who is seen as a good employee at a company and they're willing to put your resume in front of their boss, that's loads better than applying online or just dropping an application off.

What should I do then?? I ask and ask and ask and ask and ask what I should do if no will actually hire me but I keep getting answers that don't answer my question.

I can't be self employed I don't know how to be innovative and where I live it's severely limiting like who am I gonna provide a service to?? The trees?? And I can't afford to live in a populated area either?? So what should I do?? 

I NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO SO I DON'T STARVE AND DIE FOR GOODNESS SAKES

Where are your parents? your siblings? your friends?

Well, I guess you could consider being a cam-girl..... providing its legal where ya live. Im out of ideas.

  At some point  Emily you are going to have to take the bull by the horns and make your own decisions. As others have said "there has been so much good advice, words of wisdom and a lot of that has been shown here" People here do not have a magic wand they can wave to make you employable. They do not have the answers you are willing to accept. They have given you the help and suggestions they can give.
  It's time you put your big girl panties on and take ownership of your own needs, make your own decisions, and get about the business of making a decent life for yourself. The people here cannot do or you what you are unwilling to do for yourself.
  Life isn't easy for anyone. Your own issues may be more than some but I am sure there are others out there far worse off than you that are making the best with what the have rather than sitting back and lamenting about what they can't do.

  I'm sorry if this is blunt Emily but you need to begin doing something for yourself.

Hugs,
  Jeanette
