What happened to constructive criticism in rejection letters?
Honesty, I haven’t been able to find a career since leaving the United States Marine Corps ten years ago and graduating twice from The Ohio State University, most recently in 2017. Life is tough for me right now. I know life is tough for everyone right now. And I feel like I’m losing my mind, because all MSNBC and CNN report is how great Bidenomics is when I can’t find a job, and I can’t even afford to keep my company’s website up. I can’t afford to keep my electricity on, let alone fund The Artistic Lifestyle.
I have applied to thousands, if not tens of thousands, of jobs, and I have received thousands of rejection letters. I have submitted hundreds of query letters to editor and publishers, and I have received only a few rejection letters. However, whether it’s a query letter or cover letter, I have received zero constructive constructive criticism.
Is my resume bad? Is my cover letter bad? Is my portfolio bad? Am I not qualified? Am I being discriminated against because I’m a veteran? Am I being discriminated against because of my peachy pinky skin? Why can’t I find a career? Why can’t I receive any constructive criticism? How am I supposed to know what I am doing right and what I am doing wrong if no one tells me?
So I just spin my wheels, getting no callbacks, getting no interviews, and getting the same copy and pasted AI rejection letters, which lie to me about my qualifications being “impressive,” but their company is passing on a highly decorated Marine Corps veterans who published two books and started two literary magazines, while attending OSU full time. Currently, I published one hundred and fifty Substacks in three months, and I spent 2020 and 2021 investigating criminal organizations and corrupt politicians involved in the CIA conspiracy to overthrow America in a color revolution just like they did in Ukraine. And my wheels are spinning in the mud like The American Holocaust Trilogy and Matthew 4 Mississippi 4 is stuck in the swamp.
So I have resorted to sharing my cover letters on LinkedIn and asking my thousands of connections for counsel and advice regarding my resume, cover letters, and portfolios, and yet, I still get zero feedback? Why can’t I get feedback? Am I NOT a good writer? Am I speaking gibberish? I seriously have no clue. No one has given me any feedback whatsoever. I have written Presidents, Presidential candidates, Senators, and Congresspeople, sports reporters, and civil rights activists, while applying to tens of thousand of positions within these companies. I can’t get hired, and no one is giving me constructive criticism, so I keep spinning my wheels, penniless, and broke. But if I finish The American Holocaust Trilogy and the Matthew 4 Mississippi’s website, I will be publishing three books, relaunching TheArtisticLifestyle.com, and announcing my candidacy for Mississippi’s 4th Congressional District
