So, as I said, this is not a guide, rather a rant about my current situation. I really think I'm just stupid. I believe I would get a job at the nearest supermarket, but that type of job is super tiring and I would need a special healt card (medical opinion?) and I would have to pay for that. I need money, I just bought a concert tickets, I can't afford anything this big this month, lmao.
Anyway, last semester I send my cv to like 10 different companies? And you guessed it, I didn't get hired. If my dad didn't help me with getting a summer job at the same company he works at, I would've been done. Back to the topic, it's not like it was my cv that sucked (even though it coud have been better), but me. I got few interviews, and either they hired someone "that fits their standards better" or just straight up ghosted me. And the first interview I had? I fucked it up completly, I almost died from cringe. One (online), on the other hand, went super smoothly, until the recruiter said I would need to move. FOR WHAT WAS SAID TO BE A REMOTE WORK. On the other side of a country (which is not big, but i have university).
Now, I still need a job. So I went to job fairs again. Some companies don't recruit, some need you to move to Germany (no, I do not speak german), the other needs English, French and Spanish, but Chinese would be welcome as well. At the end of job fairs I had quite the number of new pens and toffiees but no job. But I got leaflets, that counts, right?
After updating my CV I started looking at the sites from the leaflets, some sport shop. Customer advisor, not exactly what I wanted, but sounds nice, I like sports, I know English (more or less), they pay and offer half time. Perfect for still being a student. So I send them CV, AND TELL ME, why FOR THE LOWEST LEVEL JOB, I get a test, that takes minimum 40 minutes to take, to see how I would act at some ridiculous situations. And some of the questions lacked half a context, with the answers being even worse. So, I think I failed, for few points(?) I got a score somewhere in the range 0-55%. Don't know how much, maybe 0, maybe 55. Guess I'll never know, because I don't think they'll call me. But, for few other parts, I got a score that was more than 80%, so I'm not lacking half a brain (probably). The worst part is, I could've just explain to the recruiter that I just don't know yet, but I'll remember what to do if someone tells me. But no, some random ass test.
I think that's it for my rant, for now. See ya.

I had a talent, which is digital drawing. I posted my drawings online until a company that runs Unity called me and said they wanted to make a contract with me for a good amount. Now I've been working with them for two years. Everything happened by chance. I just had to move from my country.
I'm glad you did, but moving out must've been hard. For now, I want to finish university, so I need something in the city, unfortunately
