I am desperate in finding another job, past couple of months I've had over 5 interviews and didn't get any of the jobs. At the last interview I felt the interview went well, and then the guy asks an easy question about my degree which I should have known and I blanked and failed to give the correct answer. After the interview I got so angry at myself, I punched my arm multiple times, next day I had a tennis size bruise. I hate myself and how I am not using my education to have a more fulfilling job and basically wasting away.... :'(

Those weren't the right jobs for you. The right one will come. Perhaps broaden your search area, and go over the resume to be sure it is as tight as possible and practice interview skills and questions. Then send out another batch of resumes, answer another dozen job posts and don't give up! You will get out of that job you are in. It is inevitable, you are only 22 ...
Best of luck to you.

Thanks for the encouraging words NWgirl, actually I am older than 22... My job is super depressing, most of my coworkers are depressed too.... What can I say, there is over 60% turn over at my job.... I don't know what to do.......

Hey there! I'm so sorry you're feeling so down about your current job I know what it's like.. I used to work at a job that I hated so much I didn't want to go to sleep at night because then, the next thing I'd have to do was go to work in the morning.. It's absolute hell when you don't enjoy your job!

I know it must be extremely frustrating to go through all those interviews and not get the job, but you're just going to have to keep at it! Envisage waking up to a job you actually enjoy doing and feeling excited about going to work, a job that will actually give you energy instead of draining it out - hold onto those feelings to give you the strength to keep looking for that dream job

Before an interview, tell yourself you know your stuff and you CAN, that you WILL get the job!!! Make yourself feel positive and confident all the time.

And in the meantime, come up with as many fun activities for you to do to get your spirits up despite still having to work at that lousy job!!!
