Still no job :(
a year ago
General
Still unable to land a job I did manage to get a job interview this week but there's just no guarantee that I'll get that job I'll just get rejected like all the other jobs. Sometimes I feel like I'm just bored unlucky all these bill pileups and harassment causes just putting me over the edge I don't know how long I can stand any of this anymore...

Skarlett Cynder is from this community and says she is looking for artists. Could you try?
I hope this is what you are looking for, if not, I am sorry for giving you useless information.
Admittedly I'm also in a situation that allowed me to do so in the fist place, but if anything, maybe you can try to join independant groups of artists or make one together with some other people rather than joining companies ? I dunno, and I wish I could :(
Whichever the case, I'd like to do more than wish you good luck with everything, but as of right now that's all I can do ^^;
I think I can kinda understand your shitty situation as I'm autistic. I mean I have a job but in gastronomy for minimum salary and I've got this job only because of using a service which seeks a job for people with disability. In my country only less than 2% people with autism are hired and mostly in gastronomy just like in my case.
I really like my current job, love the people around me and can count on their support but... it doesn't change the fact it's gonna never allow me for independent life. I can work there only because my mom I live with, maintains me, she's able to do that as she's still in quite good condition (she's in her late 50's) and she has a proper job in some corp. Not even to mention I've got a life annuity some time ago.
So yeah, I think even though our realities can be different, I feel like I kinda understand you. Be happy you're able to be a freelancer who make commissions for people. When I used to have no job at all for longer time from time to time in the past, I had literally nothing to do to earn any money. Don't understand me wrong! As I said I live with someone who maintains me but just imagine I hadn't.
I'm so sad and have no idea how can I help you except of simple sharing an info about you but people who watch me, usually have no money or almost no money for commissions at best so yeah, it wouldn't help you either I guess.
What's your disability if I can ask?
And I don't have a job so the commission have to be apart of my income to survive. It also means I'm not worth a salt and just a terrible artist. You would not tell a repair shop, restaurant or ANY other industry to lower their price for a service and I'm offering a service.
Also I have learning disorder.
For example I know another artist who's artwork is just amazing and yet, currently he's not able to pay bills in time and he almost begs for customers. When I see such a things, I think how fucking unfair it is, epsecially when you realize it doesn't concern every artist in the world.
I know you can do it and I know there's someone out there that will, hire you ! Im rooting for u that u will land a job!
