It's been three months since I quit my job, and I'm still in Shanghai, and I haven't found a job.
Every day, I aimlessly browse on the major recruitment **, submitting resumes, but I am like a stone sinking into the sea, and there is no response.
With little savings left and life becoming more stressful, I started to bite the bullet and ask my friends for help.
One of my friends, Xiao Wang, who used to work in a large Internet company, offered to help me push me internally after hearing that I was unemployed.
He said that he had a good relationship with the HR of his former company, and that he could help me get straight to the interview, and maybe even skip the resume screening.
As soon as I heard that there was such a good thing, I was naturally overjoyed and quickly sent my resume to him.
For the next two weeks, Xiao Wang kept telling me that HR was reviewing my resume, and there should be news soon.
I look forward to my phone ringing every day and expect to receive an email with an interview notification.
Two weeks passed, however, and nothing happened.
I couldn't help but ask Xiao Wang what was going on, and he said hesitantly, "That ......."HR's friend says he's not willing to push you inside. ”
I was stunned for a moment, and if I didn't want to push inside, I just told me directly, why are you dragging me like this?
He said you weren't experienced enough to meet their requirements. Xiao Wang continued.
I hung up in anger **.
It turned out that Xiao Wang's friend didn't read my resume seriously at all, but just found an excuse to send me away.
I felt cheated, and it was so bad to be cheated on by my friends.
Since then, my trust in my friends has started to waver.
I began to wonder if they really cared about me or if they were just saying nice things to pass me away.
My perception of my friends has completely changed.
I want to tell everyone not to take your friends' word for it.
Sometimes the more you believe, the worse you get trapped.
Friends are not relatives, and they are not obligated to help you.
When asking for help, be sure to keep a clear head and not be fooled by superficial rhetoric.
Only when you are strong is the real guarantee.
Life went on and I decided to pick myself up again.
This time I won't rely on other people's help anymore, I'm going to find a job on my own.
I believe that as long as I don't give up, one day I will find my own opportunity.
In the days that followed, I started to work harder to prepare for interviews and improve my skills and knowledge.
I no longer complain about the unfairness of fate, but focus on my own growth.
I believe that if I work hard enough, I will be able to find a satisfying job.
A month later, I finally received an interview notice from a well-known company.
After a fierce competition, I successfully passed the interview and landed my dream position.
At that moment, I felt that my efforts were not in vain and that all my efforts were rewarded.
Looking back on this experience, I deeply realized that my friend's words cannot be easily trusted.
Only you are the most reliable to rely on.

At the same time, I also understood a truth: no matter what difficulties and setbacks we encounter, we must persist in working hard. As long as you don't give up, there will be a turnaround one day.
Now I'm back on my feet and starting a new career.
This experience made me cherish my efforts and growth even more.
I will continue to work hard and strive for higher goals.
I believe that as long as I persevere, the road ahead will be broader and brighter.
Do you think adult friendship can still be relied upon?
