Venting Job hopping, Self-sabotaging, Job history lies, citizenship struggle

[KleinerWolf]

In January I quit my previous job for a more advanced position and it didn't work out.
So I quit and corona hit and was depressed and unable to connect another job,
After several month in depression etc, lately started the-applying for jobs,

however it had inevitably made my less hireable since I only worked 3 months previously and hopped too early, and I just decided to lie about my work history and instead of 3 months I said 1 year.

Due to the 10 months gap while I was not working,
my previously job's morning starting time, coworker names start to become forgotten,
In a small tacitly, surprising that everyone know everybody and
the hiring manager ask me what time We start in the morning,
Or if I worked with someone,

of course I did but 10 months gap it's as if I never worked here,
Answering questions wrong and sounding suspicious,

to be honest I dug my own grave with the job hopping
and I job hop because immigration requires a certain job title, and hourly pay,
Hence I was a try hard all these time,

To be honest, the job situation for me is not good,
mostly due to my inconsistent work history.


There's depression and insecurity at play.
Things go hand in hand,
But even if I get a job,
It doesn't solve my problem.

I'm just too desperate for immigration.
Job and immigration go hand in hand,
And without a sense of security,
I just keep making it worse,
It's a vicious chicken and egg cycle.

Honestly,
If I commit suicide in late December or January,
I had it coming.

I'm still upset what Chinese citizenship does to me,
But playing the victim or remaining powerless isn't going to solve jackshit.

to be fair, it might just be better I kill myself,
Because it's easier and it's instant gratification

(sorry about the rant).

I'm sorry to hear your struggles. I job hopped right before corona too. Before that, had several jobs all lasting 3-5 years. I think you did the right thing. Most jobs don't check your references. Just say you never stopped working. Or say you started your own business.

It took me the better part of 5 months to find a job. Never had to look more than a couple weeks before corona. Experience, references, accomplishments, and a graduate degree didn't mean anything.

Hope things work out for you.

it's a hit or miss,
and I dug my own grave but
As we all know,
They won't even schedule u for interview if u are completely honest and leave big gap on your resume.

it's worse than lying I suppose.
Gotta do what u gotta do.

Are you in the usa? Tons of work for semi-skilled labor. That's hourly work, like road construction, basic maintenance, etc...

Also, temp work with UPS, and Amazon are always hiring.

I'm in New Zealand,
Working as a cook,
Chinese passport.

it's why I'm a bit upset with things.

would gladly be a truck driver,
Probably make more money than cooking too lmao

Those works are an option for people
I guess I'm just really angry,
Everything was intended for immigration,
And I talk about rage quit a lot.

it's not good.

I lie on all my job applications. One of them, I only worked less than a year but I put that I worked there for five because I went so long without working at one point. The place went under so there is no way to contact them anyway, but that's my excuse for not having contact information for them. I've still been hired even though my resume is largely exaggerated, usually in regards to how long I worked at a place. Of course, who knows how many jobs I didn't get because they checked and I just wasn't aware of it. Anyway, I'm sorry this is all happening to you. I hope something happens that will change this for you.
