I've hit rock bottom!

Hey there, I just want to tell you you have to believe in yourself and stick to it.

I didn't speak English when I first came to US 5 years ago. Then I went to graduate school but my English was still bad. I could not say one sentence, not even one smooth sentence.
I sent out hundreds of resume to the market, I will say 400-500. Got maybe 10 responds.

I went to interviews, nobody wanted me. Because I was too nervous which made me stammer in English.

I sent out another 400-500 resumes. Nothing. Second round failed.

And I sent out the last around. Got my first job. Not very good but still better than nothing.

I think I will remember those days forever. Probably you were not that desperate as I was. But all I can say is that your effort would pay back one day. Just have to be patient and never give up!

Have you considered the fact may be:

1...You are applying for jobs you are not as qualified for as you think you are, and other better qualified applicants end up getting the jobs you want.

2...For some reason you turn people off, and someone the HM identifies with gets the job

You are in a city, where there be lots of applicants, and only the most qualified, that impresses the HM will get the job

Be aware of which words get capitalized in the middle of sentences.

Use commas after the words "and" or, "or".

Apostrophes are used in a possessive context. If you are going to call us "meanie's" it is without the apostrophe, like "meanies". An "s" without an apostrophe in front of it means it is plural.

Example:
"Wang's" means something belongs to a guy named Wang.
"Wangs" means there are several Wangs.

Their, means the following word is something that belongs to them.
They're, is a contraction for "they are", as in "...they're really good at this."
There, is in reference to a location. "Where is the john?" "It's right over there."

Way; the route you use to go to a place.
Weigh; as in "This is heavy, how much does this weigh?"
Whey; a type of protein.

Also, the Military is not bad at age 28. If you're willing to run far and, push hard, you can get ahead. It can change you for the better.

I want to point out that this is inaccurate. In some circumstances a comma before and or or can break up two clauses in a sentence, but not after. The only real scenarios to use a comma after either is an oxford comma or if you use clause in the middle of a sentence and offset it with commas (a poor writing technique).
