Realistic-Egg4767's journey

I've been unemployed for the past three years since I was 16, living in the UK. My job search has been incredibly challenging, and despite my efforts, I haven't had any luck finding work. I have tailored my CV for entry-level positions, but my only experience is a week in a hotel, which I had to do as part of my secondary school requirements. I dropped out of sixth form and never completed my A-levels, which has made my situation even tougher. I've applied to over a thousand jobs, called various places, and even gone in person, but nothing has worked out. I struggle with confidence and haven't considered internships or volunteering, but I realize that might be my last chance to gain some experience. I'm not interested in going back to sixth form or attending university, even though I did well in my GCSEs, achieving 7 grades at levels 5-6 (Cs and Bs). It's frustrating to feel stuck and unable to leverage my potential.
