I am a 30 year-old man who recently resigned from his position at a famous Museum as a Program Facilitator. I went to work for Disney Cruise Lines, but after 2 months I hated it. I hated the life, and I hated the workload- I was cast as a Character performer and they wanted me to memorize 30 scripts in less then 3 weeks, on top of vigorous safety drills. So I quit and now I'm stuck back at home with my parents with no job and no money.
Since I have a BA degree and loads of experience, I thought I would naturally get hired at other companies. I called back the Museum and asked if they would let me come back. "You may audition for a new facilitator role, sure." Said my manager. I arrived at the audition and aced it, even dressed up- unlike many of my past coworkers who didn't even bother dressing up. 2 weeks later I find out they DIDN'T pick me. I never got a phone call or email, but I asked another girl who auditioned, and she said that they called her a week after the auditions. Now- I worked at the museum for 4 years. When I resigned, I gave a 5-week notice as oppose to the normal 2-week. I left on excellent terms. Why, then, did they not give me my old job back?
Norwegian Cruise Lines interviewed me via skype for a position on one of their ships that is less strenuous then I had on Disney. The interview went great, and four days later the recruiter emailed me for a second interview. When I showed up on the skype for a 2nd interviewer, I got a strange email saying: "We are going to have to reschedule the second interview as the other lady that was supposed to be with me today is on vacation. I will let you know when we can reschedule." After I accepted, I waited and waited for an email to reschedule and NEVER heard back. WTF? Why schedule a 2nd interview if you never intended on giving me one?
So I am asking managers and hiring people out there what is going on? Why am I getting screwed over left and right? And please no "Its the economy." If that were true, explain the thousands of people who have jobs right now and are rich as hell. Explain why my old job, which had openings I was qualified for, rejected me. Explain why a cruise company which told me they wanted to 2nd interview me, suddenly blew me off? I have no criminal record, no bad reps with past companies that I know of. I have a degree and am amply qualified for these positions.
I am at the point of suicide. Please help.Why can't I get a Job?
Do not commit suicide. Or I will kill you. Just kidding. Start with local jobs (secretary, stuffs?) and then keep trying for the cruise lines (it that's your thing) and keep trying! Perseverance is the key, and hey, maybe those cruise people will email you soon! They can't just diss you. You can email them and say "Why didn't you respond?"
