Today, I took a hard look at my job history and realized I've been struggling quite a bit. At just 22 years old, I've jumped between six different truck driving jobs in the past year, each lasting only a month or two. My experiences varied widely: one company had me doing long haul trips which I couldn't stand, another had shifts and coworkers I didn't get along with, and yet another required me to stay in a hotel far from home, which I left after just a week. Now, I'm back on the job hunt and have applied to 15 new companies, but I've already faced four rejections and haven’t heard back from the others. I feel like I'm at a dead end and I'm not sure how to move forward. Should I consider quitting driving altogether and look for something completely different? I know my frequent job changes have likely raised red flags for potential employers, and I’m contemplating writing an extra letter to explain my situation. I realize I need to take responsibility for my choices and figure out a way to present myself better in my job applications.
