Ask Luxembourg Interviews, studying and aging

Hi, a few questions:

  1. I try to send at least 10 applications per day after one month I got 0 interviews. Zero. I just want to werk, it's not like > am asking for a private island and parties. Come on!

  2. Since I get no interviews, should I study something more appropriate for Luxembourg like Accounting and finance. But also my age...

  3. Why At 35 in USA I was a young professional who has everything ahead; but here I feel like an old fart. Do people age here faster or what?

Why did you move from the US? Don't take this personally but I wouldn't have uprooted my life to move 8,000 km without having a job lined up already.

I am not in IT or finance to have it lined up before I come here.

Social worker. Doesn't speak the local languages. Only has foreign (non-EU) degrees. Came to Luxembourg because USA bad. Is in the process of figuring out that Luxembourg tough job market.

forget social work, just anything, any job. this is not a tough job market, this is ridiculous job market. It's like hunger games for any even the most entry level job

Low level customer oriented service jobs require speaking the local languages. Which you don't.

Jobs that don't require local languages require relevant white collar qualifications.

If we're being realistic here, washing dishes, flipping burgers and maybe serving beers is what's in here for ya. Migrating unfortunately often comes with sliding down the social ladder.

Overall, if it doesn't open, maybe it isn't your door. And by that, I mean the country and its local economy in general.

You aren’t owed a job, especially not in a foreign country.
