I am really struggling to find a new job after becoming unemployed following 3 deaths in the family around 8 months ago. I am 25 going on 26 and have been working for the last 7-8 years in IT Administrator and in the last 2 years a Senior IT Administrator.

For the last 2 months I have been applying for job relentlessly as I am unemployed and was living on savings. I have applied for jobs in IT and in different sectors such as health care as I have an interest in it.

I had 3 jobs before this and each one I applied for I got first try. Interviews were great, companies were fantastic, I just moved on from each after a while looking to broaden my knowledge and try and earn more money.

Over the last 2 months I have applied for around 45 jobs and had 4 interviews up to today. I live on a small island with only 70,000 people so it is quite a lot here and jobs come up far less frequently.

2 of these job roles I got interviewed for were IT Administrator roles. I got told I was not experienced enough by 1 company and the other said they had a "more experienced" candidate. The other 2 job roles I applied for was working in a Pharmacy as an assistant which had zero requirements as all training and courses are provided, this one felt particularly rough as my partner works there and referred me and the information from the interviewer came across as me basically being guaranteed the role as 3 were available, but alas I got told they had people with the relevant qualifications apply even though it was a trainee position. The second one was working with our local children in need program as a Data protection officer (I also have the qualifications for this). I was denied due to lack of experience with microsoft services (I have worked in IT for 7-8 years and have studied it since I was 11 years old) which was odd as it is very clear in my CV under my qualifications that I have passed extended courses relating to Microsoft services and many others.

I feel as I am being punished and I have no idea why. I have had my CV looked at and I have been told it is perfectly fine and I have asked for feedback from these interviews with nothing coming from it.

Is it normal to run into issues like this? I am completely stumped and lost and I am about to give up, even though I can't because I am almost out of savings, I am almost ready to accept it and become homeless. I am really worried for mine and my partners future as I feel like she is going to leave me at any moment and I wouldn't blame her.

How do people continue with this? I have seen posts of people applying for hundreds of jobs and getting nothing

Bit of background to get an idea on what is going on in my life.

Around 4 months ago we had 3 deaths in the family in a very short period of time (within 2 months of each other). I had started a new job and was doing well and really enjoying my time there and around 2.5 months into the new role the series of events happened where we lost 3 members of the family.

Unfortunately due to the amount of time I was taking off trying to recover from this my work and myself decided it would be best to part ways, I fully agreed as I needed time.

I am fortunate enough that I had savings so I could sustain myself for a few months without issue. I still have some left (maybe around 2 months) but I have been actively seeking work again over the last month.

I have had 4 interviews, and I have went for jobs that I am overqualified for. I got a reply from all of them last week and was told I was not qualified? (No qualifications were needed, they were entry level roles and I actually exceed all requirements as I have worked in the IT industry for 7 years and have all relevant qualifications for these roles) or they had better candidates which is fair enough.

Now where this becomes an issue. Just to mention, my dad is unemployed and has been for the last 4+ years.

He said that I need to find any job as I can't just live at home being a bum. I am actively seeking work right now, but it is a struggle in this current market even when over qualified for the work.

He proceeded to have a go at me about it and said that back in his day we wouldn't get away with being unemployed etc. I said obviously I am only in the situation due to losing our Gran, Pops and Uncle very close together. He told me that's not an excuse to be off work for 4 months.

On top of him going on about me being unemployed he always punches down on me due to my position of not being able to move out of home due to significant cost of living where I am and is constantly raving about how it was more difficult 30 years ago, when in fact, it was not more difficult.

He constantly bashes me about my condition, I am a Type 1 Diabetic and it is not my fault I have it, I was unlucky and purely got it by chance. He always says it is not a severe condition or really that life threatening.

He is always having a go at me for not picking up my siblings from school/college even though it is not my problem, I was forced to cycle home every day from school and college.

When my partner is not around he is constantly telling me that she is weak minded.

He is constantly raising my rent he charges me due to no fault of mine. My little brother purchased a gaming PC and my dad saw the electric increase by around £300 over 3 months and now he is increasing my electric contribution by £75 a month when I have nothing to do with the increase.

When I question him on the electric rent increase he just says if I don't like it tough luck or get out. My dad is easily making money out of the rent I give him since I pay for my own food, phone bills and everything else that I can. He charges me £500 a month and now its going up to £575. He charges the same to my brother, so essentially while he is unemployed he is living off me and my brothers rent lol.

I am at my wits end with this, I feel like he is just constantly trying to make my life as uncomfortable as possible, and this doesn't even get into everything else that he does. I feel like it has elevated significantly since I have been off work.

I can't move out, it is just not a feasible option. Me and my partner were on waiting lists for months for housing where I live, we have hundreds searching for a home over here but a severe lack of available properties or properties being built.

I am just lost, I don't know how much more I can take before I go mental.

I want to start off by thanking the developers, you have a gem here and it has incredible potential!

Early access is early access, bugs etc are to be expected, but I have enjoyed my time so far in the game at 40+ hours.

Here is what I would personally like to see for the future of Farever.

1. Improved optimization of the game. FPS can be a real issue sometimes and I have a pretty beefy system and I still see drops to the 40s.

2. A strong incentive to party with others, but keeping content available to be soloed should be a priority. I would love to see raid encounters.

3. I think a boss rush mode would be fantastic for max level characters, allow us to fight different bosses in an arena and maybe do upwards of 5 rounds with increasing rewards.

4. I really want the auction house and a fully functioning trading system.

5. A much larger expanded open world with more activities and exploration. I know 2 new zones are on the roadmap, but I would love this to be a long term game.

Once again, thank you for Farever, it has been a good experience for the most part and I wish the best for Shiro Games and Farever!

No matter where I go I see one of these fuckers. Last match, breach, 2 virt 2 juren. I politely am telling those who play those 2 heroes to fuck themselves and to consider the end.
