Feeling pretty depressed
I got a new job last week and I was so excited to start. As after years of searching from the age of 21, I finally got hired in a job of my dreams in media at the age of 27.
I was so happy that I cried tears joy the entire week leading up to the job starting.
Not only was it in my field, but the pay was finally more than minimum wage.
When I started, the role ended up being nothing that they advertised it for or talked about in the interview and they had me doing graphic design when I’m not qualified to do that…
I know how to use the Adobe softwares but not to the point of designing labels and packaging.
They had their in house graphic designer insulting me as he sat over my shoulder and told me everything I was doing was wrong.
The whole week was me trying to be a graphic designer when I was hired to be a copywriter and control their media and marketing and I didn’t even get to do any of that all week.
The graphic designer complained about me to the bosses and called me useless so they fired me yesterday.
But I didn’t even do any of the work I was hired to do and they fired me….after 5 days.
I don’t know what I’m going to do…I left my other job for this one. More so, how do I face my friends and family when they ask me “how’s work” and tell them I’m unemployed after one week.
On top of that, they all said “We’ll see you Monday” as I left at 5pm, and at 5:30 the recruiter that hired me called me to tell me that I’m no longer required there.
I’ve been crying the last 24 hours and just feel hopeless and lost.
