I'm 30 Days into My JOB HUNT and Here's What's Happening

In today's video, I try some new things. For one, I put on a microphone to see if it sounds better. For another, I tried different lighting (I really hate lighting).

From Full-Time to Fired in 2 Months What Went Wrong?
Переглядів 22714 днів тому
Yup, I got fired again. This one was a bit of a mess, and I really don't feel like I was given a fair shake, but dem's da brakes, I guess. I remain hopeful that I'll find something, and that I'll at least be approved for the pittance that is EI (employment insurance). Until then, I am throwing my resume at everything and hoping something good sticks! I do apologize for taking so long to upload ...

    Hi Jenn! Good to meet you! You were on my fyp and I’m subscribed now. I’m sorry that this is happening to you and it seriously sucks. I’m in my early 50’s and my husband is 62 and got laid off this past May and I’m sure you can imothe situation we may be in now since he’s not working yet. My worst fear is this is it. We are both losing the fight. We have an almost 18yr old still at home . I am disabled and haven’t been well enough to work a physical job since 2006. It’s so frustrating and scary & hard. I m thinking of you and will catch up on any other parts of your channel as I want to get to know all the newer ladies that have begun channels the past 3-6 months as I’m considering it myself asap just don’t know what the heck I’m doing . I’d like to network and be supportive like UA-cam was when I was before the bulk of the worst of my health issues began in 2011, I stopped creating videos…..in 2012. I’m on the spectrum & ADHD& auditory processing disorder (don’t have the $2,000 to get diagnosed or the $ for the therapy even though it’s fixable ❣️❣️)as are all 3 of my kids , but my youngest is the least affected and can workin public Sorry if I’m not making much sense, please reach out if you need support. I’m on IG. And I’m shy but ooooohyou are in Canada I just heard you say! lol I don’t know why that always makes me feel positive. O I’m artsy fartsy and even though I’m severely depressed and dealing with physical health issues . I would like to know whatever you are willing to share. See it’s 5:00 am right this minute.

    I was based in the UK back then. UK Transcription pays quite well - they may recruit internationally - a lot don't pay much so be careful of that. Another good offshoot is proofreading. Plus it's not just 911 who do emergency call outs, it's also old people and disabled people who are on the end of a personal emergency alarm (but also includes some night work) - I used to do that, too. Try a few things at once - the worst is not being paid much for what you do. Personally, I'm still with Amazon on nights in Canada... it's okay money (if you do that, do FC centre not delivery centre). Good luck!!

    Sorry, but I've noted in one of your other videos you already have $1,100 a month coming in from some kind of permanent cheque thing, and your outgoings are 2,500 a month, so you neeed to make only about 1,400 bare basics per month to get through. You already have a part time job which should be doing some or all of that for you. So you may need a bit extra, or just to cut back your spending. Your perspective might need looking at first... Then get some help sticking to a budget... I note you say you spend a lot on art supplies... Well... Just put that in your budget too, and stick to it. Easy - the life of your dreams is on your doorstep, leaving you free to create a UA-cam channel other people might share an interest in watching ;-) Not reading out medical terminology! I think it's vidIQ people use to see what other people are researching on UA-cam to find out what might make a good idea for a video to make.

    Reading medical terminology might be interesting for you but not for many other people, so I switched off. It looks like somebody called Sarah gave some very good pointers on yesterday's video. The drive to monetize is not supposed to be easy. I'm sure some people could easily post every day for 100 years and not monetize if their content is not what other people can find any interest in. Very best of luck though.

  • @Sarah-k1b
    @Sarah-k1b 2 місяці тому

    Hi Jenn. It looks like you’ve been struggling for a while, and I would like to try to help you out. That being said, most people really hate my help because I give practical, honest, and logical advice. I think that trying to help people actually reach their dreams, is kinder than cheering someone on down a path that doesn't actually lead anywhere. Most people think it's kinder to give blanket encouragement. If you want some real, actual helpful feedback and ideas to help you accomplish your dream of home ownership, please consider the following. If you would rather not, that's okay too. I like your idea of a drive to monetize. That's great. But reading medical terminology isn't niche. It's just going to be excruciatingly boring. You may actually lose subscribers by doing this and your views will most certainly go down. The reason your video about getting fired got so many views (comparatively) and your initial videos got so many more than your current ones, is your initial videos were relatable on a human level (a big life event change) contained a clear goal (your desire to own a home) or was interesting. If you want to increase your views and subscribers, you need to provide content people actually want, or content people can get behind and feel like they're a part of. In short, you need a much better game plan. Secondly, you need to also be aware that gaining a lot of money from UA-cam monetization, enough to buy a home for instance, or even to quit your day job, is about as likely as winning the lottery, even if you do it all perfectly. If you are doing a UA-cam channel because you love it, then do it. If you're doing it to make enough money to reach your income goals, there are much better ways you should definitely consider, because this way just isn't one of them. Same with your art work. It's absolutely beautiful. Honestly. I think your art work is lovely. And I'm sure your jewelry will also be very lovely. Lovely enough for someone to buy, certainly. But buying art is a luxury. It's not something people need. And you need (or at least want) to make more money. Unless you can convert your art hustle into a service oriented hustle, wherein people who are trying to make money themselves, look for you to help them make their own money (think book illustrator, logo designer, etc.) then it's going to be very hard to make more than some extra pocket money from even the most beautiful art. There's already so much beautiful art to be had, so many competitors, so few people with extra money to spend on it. In short, the odds are stacked against you. Even now, you're also competing against AI, so even the service oriented art hustles that I mentioned above, are also a real hard go now days. The reality is, people pay people to do the boring things, the "have to be done" things, the usual things. That's where the money is. Sometimes not a lot of money, but there's more money there than in the fun and creative things, in average. I know you've been applying to loads of jobs in your area without getting much back in return for your efforts. I used to work in career services, both helping people get hired as well as hiring others, so I can give you a few tips to get those call backs. 1. Make sure you send a tailored resume to every job you apply to. As though the resume you are sending was made specifically for that specific job. 2. Keep your resume to one page. 3. Have the skills required for the job you're applying for, using some of the specific wording used in the ad to get your resume past the bots. 4. Make sure your contact information is up to date and included both a phone number and an email at least. 5. Make sure your voicemail is professional and isn't full. 6. For any job you actually want, do yourself a tremendous favor and include a cover letter. If you don't know how to write one, research this. Even those jobs that require a cover letter, rarely get one. When you send one in, introducing yourself, explaining why you want the position, why you'd be a great fit for it, what you have to offer the company/employer, etc., it gives you a tremendous advantage over the other applicants. I'm an American, so I don't know how the job boards work in Canada, but here, there are regular job boards people usually look at, and there are the "other job boards" that don't get nearly as many applicants because people simply don't know they exist, because those boards are where those types of jobs are required to post in. For example, to get a job in primary schools here, you have to find the website where all the educationally based jobs are posted, which is an edu site. If you want a job with the county, you have to find the county websites career opening website. If you want to work for the state, you have to find their website. And on and on. You avoid a lot of fake job postings that way too, and there are fewer applicants because those boards aren't the general one people go to to find any old job. Think of all the job sectors you have locally, and find out where those sectors post their open positions. (If you haven't already done so). The next part I wanted to go over, was helping give you some good ideas for how to actually reach your home ownership goal, but until you have a reliable stream of income that exceeds your base line living expenses, there's not too much point in delving into that just yet. Right now, I think your best bet if you're truly focused on reaching your home ownership goal, is to maximize the use of your time as best as you can with that goal in mind, and to find a full time job that will give you a steady financial footing. Since interpersonal interactions seem to also be a struggle for you, (no shade, you've mentioned it yourself a few times) you will want to either zero in on a job working with much younger people (like children), a more solo oriented job (some science based jobs, some public works based jobs, some IT jobs), or a job with people who are similar to yourself. Alternately, you may want to devote some study time to developing positive interpersonal interactions. (It's a struggle for many people, myself included). I hope even some of this helps. Best of luck to you in your home ownership goal.

      All of that is very helpful! I do already include a tailored resume and cover letter, unless the job specifically says not to (and some government jobs won't even look at one, so I don't bother). Here, to work for the City Of (insert city name here), you'd go to a website that aggregates all those posting into one. I've been on it multiple times. I'm also checking the health authority websites, BC and Canada Public Service job sites, and many more. I really appreciate all the time you put into that. TBH, I'm kinda hating saying all the terminology, and editing the video SUCKS. I'm happy that you've given me a reason to stop LOL

Cost me $129 CASH each way between St. Vincent and Mayreau because the ferries don't take cash. I hated carrying hundreds of dollars around on me or hidden in my room. I've been hanging in England and travelling around Europe since May and some places take cash only and don't take credit cards and on the flip side, some places refuse to take cash. In other words, in other parts of the world, cash is king!

    The modern meaning of "Cash is King" is it's paid in full debt free. This means never carrying a balance on the credit card and never over-drafting.

    Awesome video! Keep up your positive attitude and push. I do think your video could use some volume, it came in a bit quiet for me after the video I just watched but hey great work. The green screen usage is so OP. If you ever need royalty free music that’s what we do.

    Sounds like you want to explore your lifestyle options. I agree with Janeexplains below - vlog of you exploring your options for your new identity. If all of us only lived by our own routine in life, who would make sure we didn't have sewage in the streets? Have you thought about trying Uber? Jasper needs help - perhaps you can make some art to help them ? Your work seems to have a very Maud Lewis look to me ;-) Have you looked at Viktor Frankl? He may help inspire you through your current times 😛

    Can you tell me what does it take to get monetized? Is it the number of subscribers or the number of views? Your overall monthly expenses are not crazy out of this world and you didn't touch on what your current job pays. I am guessing that you are going to have to continue working a job of some sort while you build your art work business and chase the UA-cam monetizing. If you don't have any other debt, like credit cards, student loans and such, you actually could achieve your goal faster than you realize.

    • @WandsInWonderland
      @WandsInWonderland 3 місяці тому

      To be eligible for monetization you have to have 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch hours.

    You are correct that it is over consumerism, the buy this, buy that, this is better, no, this is better! and it is fueled by social media just as you said. Our world has become impulse driven and leads many to over spend if they are unable to look away and ignore the constant bombardment of advertising. I find I often watch a you tube video and am really enjoying the topic and then they pause "to thank the sponsor of todays video" and proceed into a 2 minute advertising talk about the "product", which of course they got free to try and use and then promote, oh, and if you use their link below you will get 20% off your order!! Sending you love from the states!

    At 2:07 - have you tried paper making or book binding? Nothing wrong with having tried lots of hobbies. You've just made the classic mistake of not starting where you are, with what you've got, or otherwise learning to take things slow, meaning you spent a lot of money you'd otherwise have spent on something else by now if not on that ;-) X

    Hi, Jenn! It has been my experience in life that impulse buying and overspending is a sign of turmoil due to depression, ADD, or other emotional issues. You have been through a job loss and the threat of keeping a roof over your head and losing your beloved cat, which can also add to any unresolved segments of your life. Put the credit card away as it is only giving you a temporary "high" and watching you in this video I feel the pain and remorse you are feeling from using that credit card. It is time for a reset to clear your mind/body so you can move into the next chapter with a fresh start. Perhaps starting a daily gratitude journal could allow you to see your successes and chart your growth. Please know I come from a place of warmth and support, I want to see you succeed.

    Thanks, Jenn! Trust me, it is also also pricy to get a house where I am in the U.S. Homes around me that were selling for $70,000 tops in 2018-2019 are now going for $165,000 and beyond. These are 800 square foot homes built in the early 50's, with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, and trust me, they aren't in perfect condition for that price. It is tough for anyone trying to get a home, young, older, divorced, widowed, etc. Interesting video to see what is going on in Canada.
