I am 25 years old and still not working. Need advise or whatever is necessary?

I know this is totally wrong but I am not the only person in this world who is jobless at my age.

Whatever it is, I don't want to be jobless. I want to get a job and get a house so I can keep my parents happy.

But I don't have work experience, never tried to get a job for maybe 5 years, I know I am such a dumb fellow. I am even shy at times or even I don't do stuffs on my own. I have probably forgot everything I learned in college too.

I don't know what to ask here, I am just depressed. I did try sending CV to certain companies but no replies. Maybe I need advice for anything that I need.

    Sometimes you have to make your own opportunities, such as getting a volunteer job, to show your worthiness, or setting up an online sales business from home or selling products through a company like Avon. Then you will have something to put on an application. Being a lazy bum takes no skill; that's why no one ever lists that as a job skill.

    go get an MBA, then a PhD, then your Parents will die and you will be a trust funder at 32 and you can buy girls and a personality.

    You need to get motivated. Other 25 year olds have already had kids and own homes and are married and own nice cars and go on nice trips.

    What particular field are you looking for? What are your skills, this is what you need when you are looking for a job. Also try to volunteer or do an internship. This can help you with gaining experience. Good luck!

    Was in your position. Am 23. Didn't get a job until not too long ago. Unfortunately, I lost that job.

    Apply for a job at a car dealership. Pick one make of car and study it very closely. Make sure you know as much about that make of car as possible and present all of that information to the hiring manager. That's what I did and it worked.

    Maybe you haven't got a job because you weren't interested in what you were studying in college you should look at maybe going back to college as a mature student meet a counsellor who specialises in employment and maybe you can look at options together

    What do you want to do? Your local job centre may be able to put you an adult work placement to gain experience.

    I have the answer, I just went through what your going through. I turned my life around and just landed a huge job. I applied non-stop for 6-months before I got to where I am. YOU NEED TO FIND A CONSULTING COMPANY IN YOUR AREA. THATS HOW YOU GET JOBS. EVERYTHING IS CONTRACT BASED NOWADAYS. FIND A CONSULTING COMPANY. THEY HELP GET YOU A CONTRACT FOR A JOB. What you need to do is build CONFIDENCE. YOU NEED TO LIVE YOUR OWN LIFE. STOP WORRYING ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT YOU OR HOW YOU LOOK. WHATEVER YOUR MIND TELLS YOU IS WRONG WITH YOU, IGNORE IT. THAT VOICE OR THOUGHT IN YOUR HEAD IS BULLSHIT. GO LIVE YOUR LIFE. DONT WAIT FOR YOUR PARENTS OR ANYONE TO DO ANYTHING FOR YOU. THIS IS YOUR LIFE!! START GOING TO THE GYM, WORKOUT. GO OUT TO SOICAL EVENTS, MEET PEOPLE. BE VOCAL, CONFIDENT, DO WHAT IS GOING TO PLEASE YOU NOT OTHER PEOPLE. LISTEN THIS IS IMPORTANT. YOU NEED TO FOCUS ON YOUR SELF. YOUR STRESS BECAUSE YOU WORRY ABOUT OTHER PEOPLES OPINION OR WHATEVER. IM NOT SAYING BE CRAZY OR DONT LISTEN TO OTHER FOLKS BUT BE INDEPENDENT DO YOUR OWN THING. ITS YOUR LIFE. YOU WILL GET THE WOMEN, MONEY, JOB WHATEVER ONCE YOU ARE CONFIDENT IN YOURSELF. LIFE IS SHORT, BE BOLD, CONFIDENT AND TAKE YOUR LIFE IN CONTROL
