I am 37, female, neurodivergent and my last job was May of 2023. I keep wondering what I am doing wrong. I have applied every day, took a break during holidays, to jobs over these past 3 years. Thankfully my husband has work but I hate all the bills being on him.

I wrote my resume myself, made sure it passed the notepad test. My work history is a bit unorthodox but its mostly customer service places. I am not sure what information is exactly relevant sadly so its difficult. I don't know buzzwords, if those even matter anymore. At least what gaps I have I am able to explain.

I have applied to every type of job I can think of, from food service to office jobs. So long as they needed a HS Diploma I applied. I have had interviews, in-person and zoom. I don't know what I am doing wrong or there's something I just don't see. I know this market is the worst, and I know jobs aren't willing to train anymore. I have 12 years over all with customer service, but even they won't call me back. I've been ghosted a number of times.

Is being blacklisted a thing? How would one find out?

Yes, I understand that probably nothing I am doing is an issue, and that they could just be finding better people for those jobs, if so great.

The toll all of this has been difficult on myself and as much as I try not to, it does effect my family.

Yea this turned more of a rant/get off my chest thing but.. I don't know what to do.

Edit: Thank you for all the support, it does infact help. Yes, I have had interviews. Are phone screenings those little 15min calls? If so, yes I have.
