Sorry to hear that. I'm surprised you would be advised not to go for retail at this time, with summer coming up a lot of temp positions open for Christmas/Boxing day shopping periods. I have some links my careers counsellor from school sent me for summer positions, I'll PM them to you.
I encourage you to change your outlook instead of looking at rejection as a learning experience which would help you to find the best employment for you instead of a traumatising experience, it's difficult to do so but it's all about perspective. Like something that seems bad at first like rejection could turn out to be a good thing if you look at in the context of bettering yourself and making yourself more resilient, and equipped to deal with future problems.
The issue with the temporary Christmas positions is that they hired months ago for them..basically when we had our exams. So to apply now is fruitless as everyone has started and finished hiring for Christmas casuals.
Please do, that would be so great !
I'll try to do that..but after millions of rejections in a row it does get disheartening to the point where you want to give up.
Thankyou for the support, it helps
Sorry to hear this Anna! Hospitality isn't all that bad - I actually love it, I can't imagine working in retail now I work in hospitality. Yes, you can get some rude and arrogant customers, but skills in hospitality are much more transferable between businesses compared to hospitality, I think. Try hospitality, it's a lot of fun.
Thankyou for the support walkec, I appreciate it
It's not that I have a problem with hospitality or anything, I just really wanted some retail experience. Plus I think I would be better at retail than hospitality. But hey, I'll give it a go..why not. At least they're less likely to turn me away.
