Applied at Lush for Unknown

I’m feeling really frustrated with the job market in the UK right now. I've spent over a decade working in retail and had no issues finding jobs before COVID hit. Since 2021, however, I've faced a series of unsuccessful job attempts that have really shaken my confidence. I've done everything asked of me, but I keep failing probation periods, which are typically 3-5 months for sales assistant roles. One time, I was wrongfully fired because my manager didn’t like me, and after going through ACAS, I received a decent payout to avoid court. I also quit a job recently without having another lined up because it was making me miserable, which is something I’ve never done before, as I usually pride myself on my resilience. My last position was at Lush, but it was only seasonal, and my contract ended. I've been applying for jobs for months now—literally anything I can find—but nothing seems to be working out. I don't have experience in hospitality or bar work, but I've been applying anyway. It’s frustrating that so many of these roles require 1-2 years of experience, which feels impossible to obtain when I can't even get my foot in the door! I feel like every job I land doesn't last, and I’m doing my best to just find something stable. I've been rejected from hundreds of positions, and it feels so helpless. I consider myself friendly and confident, and I perform well in interviews, but I either can’t pass the intense probation periods or get rejected shortly after applying. I’m also really tired of AI interviews; I want to speak to a real person! Financially, I’m struggling. I’m maxed out on my overdraft of £250 and owe my dad some money. Thankfully, I still live at home, but I’m desperate to move out, especially with the housing crisis in the UK. I’m scraping by on a minimal amount from universal credit, and I feel embarrassed about my situation. I just want a permanent job that offers more than 7 hours a week. I’ve even considered shifting to a different career path, but I lack the experience to move beyond retail. I’m not sure if there’s any advice out there, but I just needed to vent and hope that someone else can relate to what I’m going through.
