I'm a loser.

Physically walk into bars and restaurants and ask to speak to the manager... this tactic works really well in that industry as vacancies come and go very quickly.
It is also a great way to develop face to face communication skills

 

When I was 21 I had a huge fight at home, I left and started living alone in the nearby city. I failed my studies, I had no job, I had money to pay for rent for 7 months and on month 7 I still had no job, I applied to several jobs but nothing worked out. I felt alone, depressed, ... like a looser.

It's now 15 years later and my life is looking pretty different now (I'll spare you the annoyingly fantastic change )

Just saying that where you are now in life is not a blueprint for the rest of it. If you keep taking small baby steps forward and accept a few setbacks (which are inevitable) you will be fine eventually. Even though I realize that that does not help you right at this moment.

 

Did you manage to solve your problems soon enough?

 

Well, at the end of month 7 I was so desperate that I got me a job in a McDonald's. And after 2 months working there I got a job offer as web developer (for which I did some interviews 6 months before). I didn't earn a lot of money, but at least enough to move to a better place and live my life. That all took place in 2004.

Not that that solved all my problems though. All in all it took me about 10 more years to be (more or less) at peace with myself. Even though, in hindsight, I could have done it a lot sooner, if I hadn't been so damned stubborn and closed-minded. But getting over ones own limitations is probably age related and a necessary evil.
