Hey everyone, I guess I am just wanting to pulse check with anyone in a similar situation. I was fired from my last position in Early March as a remote sales specialist (had good productivity and excellent reviews from customers, but couldn’t make my sales goals. Sales is NOT for me. I also tragically lost my little sister 6 months ago and I’m sure that impacted my drive.) I graduated with a degree in interior design and am no longer interested in making that my career path for many reasons. I have experience in furniture/home goods showrooms as well as a salon receptionist for 5 years while I was in college.

I have applied for 50 roles so far including remote, hybrid and in person. I am mainly looking for reception/admissions/customer service roles at places like health clinics, hospitals, vets; remote, hybrid and in person. I want to feel like I’m actually helping people instead of a dead end capitalist job.

Anyways, I have not gotten 1 single interview among the 50 applications; just about 15 rejection emails. I follow up with a phone call/email when I can find the appropriate contact. Is this the norm now?

I have used LinkedIn (I know there can be a lot of scams - I use this to find open positions, then go to the actual careers page on the company website to apply), Indeed (pretty garbage), Glassdoor and SimplyHired. I have cold called businesses to ask if they are hiring. I am feeling a bit hopeless.

Thank you for reading <3
