Long story short, I graduated a year ago. Unable to find a full time job, keep getting ghosted after final rounds of interviews and I don’t want to do any internships anymore. I just need to get this out my chest, I feel like I’m wasting a lot of time interning in corporations and earning a degree only to start over.

I decided to move out to Germany in about 1 year from now, before I turn 24. I just signed myself up for German language class and plan to study until B1 or B2. I’ve always wanted to be out of my country as the minimum wage is very small ($350) and it doesn’t cover the cost of living.

But I brushed off those thoughts because I feel like it’s too late, or I’ll never make it. I still have those doubts. But I feel a bit hopeful now, even if I didn’t end up moving to Germany, I think learning a new language is never useless. I plan to join the FSJ program then Ausbildung Erzieherin or Direkteinstieg Erzieherin if possible since my bachelor is in Psychology.

Honestly this plan sounds crazy.. I feel like I should’ve had a job by now. But I don’t. And I want to seek opportunities overseas. I have savings and supportive parents, I know the sallary from the FSJ program might not be enough for daily living for my first year of staying there.

The government here ruin everything. Minimum wage is $300 yet our grocery and house prices are the same like US/EU markets, I’ve seen people compare it. Maximum age for many corporate job is 25 years old. I’m so jealous when I see people from first world countries, US, Germany, China, Singapore, etc. I know the US is in shambles rn but at least the economy isn’t collapsing

We dont get checks from government if we’re unemployed, our taxes go straight to corruption, very very unwalkable cities, overly religious and extremely homophobic 🥲 at least the food is top tier lol. And the people are lovely

I’m very privileged to have supportive, “rich” parents or else I know I’d be in debt and live in poverty. My country, I just hate that our government doesn’t give a single shit about us

EDIT: Americans who said “it’s the same here”, I HOPE IT WILL ACTUALLY BE THE SAME FOR YOU THERE 🙃

I just really needed to vent. I graduated last year on November but have yet to land a job. I have 3 internships experience during my study and graduated cumlaude, but I haven’t landed a job

I made it to a final stage interview after a 6 steps recruitment (Psychological test, FGD, Intv 1, Intv 2, Intv 3, then Intv 4) for a management trainee position, and its been more than a week and radio silence. I thought I did really well during the 4th too, answered everything, no blanking.

Then 2 days ago I had an HR interview and was told they will send me a screening test but have yet to get one. I know the rule is not to dwell on any interviews, but its hard when you’re unemployed.

I just feel useless asf. I’m currently trying to be productive and learning more english, planning to take IELTS, if this keeps going on I plan to take my chance on the WHV Australia. At least there I can work in a first world country and make enough for a living, then have enough savings when I get back to my country

FINALLY, when I weighed myself this morning, the number starts with 5. 59.4 Kilograms. I know it’s not stable and will probably fluctuate again, but it still feels like such a huge achievement. I’m F157 cm and spent too many years weighing anywhere around 67-72 kilograms.

I spent years dealing with disordered eating, especially Binge eating disorder. I tried Keto, IF, OMAD, cutting out sugar.. they never worked for me, OMAD did makes me lose a lot, but I just binged after and gained back the weight I lost. It was the worst. I never thought I could lose 10kg+ in a healthy way, not counting calories, no restricting, and I have never binged again too.

I fell in love with running, and eat better. I try to be mindful when eating sugary treats or fried junkfood, but don’t cut them out completely. I eat a lot of fruits, eggs, rice, fish, and chicken, and less of instant noodles and simple carbs like breads and pasta. I usually eat bread and pasta after a long run. I also eat when I’m hungry, so this whole journey doesn’t feel like a diet, more so a huge change of lifestyle.

I’m confident I won’t gain the weight back this time. If you struggle with Binge eating too, hang in there, you got this

Everytime I go out with my family (her included), 8 out of 10 times I’m reminded why it’s a bad idea. From this day on I will NEVER go out to anywhere with my mom again. Psycho woman, she has 2 daughters and both hate her, yet still thinks she’s the victim. How mentally ill can you be mom
