What should I do? - 8

I usually never ask anything here, but I really need advice on how to continue. So I'll keep it short and hope it's understandable anyway. I'm currently unemployed, although I'm still a minor, I dropped out of school due to bullying. I still have an intermediate level that is also good. I want to become a hairdresser and then continue my education, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, I have a big argument with my parents, they don't support me at all and I'm totally unexplained when it comes to the future. I'm going to my boyfriend now because I quarreled with my mother. I explained my feelings to her and asked her if she could please help me, she just yelled at me, it got too much for me and I left. I don't have any application photos, how should I please, I don't have a laptop either, I'm overwhelmed and need support, but nobody helps me in any way and my boyfriend now has to concentrate on his training. Sorry if it is confusing and a lot I'm very confused and anyway I think it is too late to apply.

I would seek help from a youth counselor, they always listen to you and can advise you on your further path. You can also move into a youth living group

Sk

Thanks I inform myself about it

Go to the job center that is responsible for you. They can put you in a measure especially for applications where you learn everything and have a computer there. The staff there can help you but make an appointment beforehand

Does your friend have a laptop and would you borrow it? Word has publishers for a résumé. You can then take a professional picture of yourself with your cell phone or camera (check the internet for which pictures look professional) and put it on your laptop. (Bluetooth, cable, send you an email from your mobile phone to your laptop, etc.)

Otherwise I would go to a job center. They'll do that too. You can call or visit them and make an appointment.

You call the employment agency yourself and arrange an appointment with the career counseling service. At very short notice there could also be measures in which you will be helped with your application.

Sort your thoughts a bit. In the morning you do your hair beautiful, put on make-up very lightly and go to a photographer. It only costs 20 euro and is definitely worth it.

Then you write your resume and cover letter on the computer and send it to the hairdressers who are still looking for people.

I wanted to see a photographer today, but he's closed, and I don't have that much money for a photographer who comes to you

Ti

You can still do that on Friday. Stay cool

What is important is the résumé, the cover letter and your certificates

I think it's strong of you what you do. Really. Look for help here, take your life into your own hands, leave the bullying. If your dream is a hairdresser, you don't even need school, because that's an apprenticeship.

You can have application photos taken by a photographer for a fee - but this is not necessary. Try to find a friend with an SLR and stand in front of a white wall, well dressed. Snap finished, download to computer. Having a digital photo is enough for now.

You have to borrow a laptop for a short time, but you don't need a particularly good one. Or you can borrow money from a friend and buy a cheap or used one. Your parents may have to pay child support if you don't live with them, but I don't know for sure. After a few months of work, you'll have enough money to buy your own stuff. From then on it only goes up.

If you need Office programs you don't need Word or Excel - there's free LibreOffice for that. If you need free photo editing there's Gimp.

When writing applications make sure to make contacts and write as many people as possible and sound enthusiastic. What it looks like with Corona, I don't know whether it will be possible at all now.

I can't solve your family problems there either. In my opinion, you did everything right and should be proud of yourself! LG

Which certificates do I need again except for the last one

Ti

In any case, your certificate with the middle school leaving certificate

Your friend can also take photos of you with a neutral background, then he will make 30-40 pieces, and there will definitely be one that is suitable for an application.

It's not that urgent…

Sk

Thank you that just encourages me even more

Please! May you become a successful hairdresser who cuts really cool hairstyles! And when your bullies come into the salon, cut them bald and say "oops", thought you wanted it that way.
