Really struggling with motivation to look for jobs, I want to start a new career in another field but its so daunting and I am struggling with where to begin.. Recruitment sites are difficult to filter through, sending cold emails to companies feels like shouting from the rafters at an empty room with nobody responding or receiving replies from people who just point me to a careers page which often doesn't work properly, recruitment agents who phone me up invariably haven't read my profile properly and offer me details on roles which I have no relevant experience for or which are at too high of a level, or identical to my current role...
I would love to find some way to monetise my abilities from the comfort of my own home in the mean time but I come up short there too... I am reasonably good with photo editing and photoshopping, creating logos and wallpapers and banners etc, but not as good as people who do it for a living... I can write really well (how I write on here isn't an example) but I don't know what I can do with that either.
Sigh... Depression, anxiety, lack of motivation, feelings of hopelessness, all getting too much... I just want to get my foot in the door of somewhere I will be happy to work, I need someone to give me a chance damnit.
I was promised an entry level cybersecurity role some months ago and they changed their mind at the last minute without explanation, I had a very promising interview at a local company where I would have been assembling state of the art marine diesel engines with a view to move into development and I was told that I knew more about the role than "some people who have been in the job for a decade" but I still didn't get the job.
**** my life, honestly. I am useless it seems.
And I get increasingly jealous of people who have it easy and do things I wish I could do, which isn't good for my mental state either... Anything from profitable streamers and youtube personalities, to people who are good at reading cryptocurrency markets and profiting from them... I tried that, lost money even when I thought I was in to make a guarenteed profit, useless...
