Also had a weird Kabuto dream last night (the second episode took place in America?), so I'm feeling like my brain is getting configured to start watching a new Kamen Rider show this week.

He's starting to believe.

Went job hunting today. Can't stay a NEET forever.

Also my brain is starting to eat itself so I need to find something to do (read: get a job).

How'd the job hunting go? Any luck?

Found lots of companies willing to hire, but I'm a bit intimidated by the requirements they want. I'm willing to learn if they'll teach me but I'm still intimidated.

Also it's my first job so there's this fear of screwing up, but I'm sure it'll be fine.

Maybe, possibly, hopefully. Ah well I'll cross that bridge when I get there. No point worrying about things that haven't arrived yet y'know? One step at a time.

Okay that got a few things off my chest, thanks for reading my rant. Or not, whatevs. As they say here in the down under, "No worries mate!"

Still trying to find a job. Job hunting is a lot harder than I expected! If anything this experience has made me much more grateful to my parents for being able to support the family. I'm sure I'll find a job eventually though.

To those of you trying to find jobs, I now know how you feel. Just keep your head up! And good luck.

It's definitely one of the most frustrating traps of the job market -- to get experience you need to work; but to work they want you to have experience. It's so, so annoying in the extreme and it meant it took me a while to get one.

One thing I can offer is that a lot of people offering jobs don't really know shit about technology and will be incredibly impressed by your ability to do, like, excel spreadsheets or whatever. That's something you can market the heck out of with yourself if you know what you're doing. And if you're not familiar with something you're one google search away from knowing more than them. That's my experience, anyhow!

That is an excellent attitude. Landing a job is mostly a mix of perseverance and luck, and you've clearly got the perseverance locked up. Just keep plugging away and you're bound to have some good luck. Very excited to hear about the job you get!

As Die said, that is an excellent attitude to have when job hunting, or honestly anything. That optimism and determination will pretty much get you through anything!

Also, word of advice, most places that ask for crazy requirements or have a long list of requirements, they're not really requirements. Those are things they'd prefer a potential employee to have, no ones a veteran trained employee straight off the bat. Your best bet is to apply to any and all jobs you want to apply to and just hope for the best, and if you don't get hired the first few jobs, keep applying, someone will definitely hire you. I was in a similar position 5 years ago. Out of highschool and no work experience. I saw lots of hiring opportunities but was scared and apprehensive to apply bc of the requirements. Then a friend of mine told me what i told u, did that for a couple weeks, got rejected loads of times, but then got hired at one of nyc's local tv stations. I had no experience in production work or anything for that matter. However, they trained me and gave me all the know-how to go from trainee to producer in 3 years. Oh and make sure to have individually tailored resumes for each job you apply to, those really help. Put any skills that you think would be applicable to the job, even, as Kurona said, you could put excel, spreadsheet, or any other basic computer skill, and that would give you an edge.

Keep up that can-do spirit and you'll definitely land a great job soon!
