Ugh... see, organized religion does it again.
You did not SIN to "deserve" this.
Maybe you are applying for the wrong types of jobs or maybe you don't interview well (have a friend give you practice interviews to help you if this is the case.) Maybe you don't have good qualifications (so you might need to work your way up from that crummy job). But this is not because of "sin." Work hard and do your best, that's all.
Blessings.

Job hunting can be very difficult. But you aren't tied to any specific job. You have the power to change your life to make it what you want it to be. You may actually like this job and meet many new friends. My job is an hour's drive away and I make use of the drive time. It is my time to myself. Most times I put on inspirational music and sing praises. That really starts my day on the right foot.
For some good help for interview questions for the next time (if there is a next time):

Nope, hang in there. I was once told "You always find what you go looking for". There is wisdom there. If you think you are a loser and go about looking at life through those eyes, that is what will come to you.
Stop with the negative. You've got a job - Congratulations! I have friends that have been out of work for over a year! If you don't like your current job, keep looking. Give your 100% best effort to your current job though. You will feel better about yourself if you can honestly say you have given your best and who knows, things change all the time. You might come to love the job you have!
Life is all about attitude! If you still feel down - FAKE IT! People gravitate to other happy people. So if you want to be happy, FAKE IT, happy people will come to you and amazingly, your life WILL get better!

Practice interview. Ask a friend to pitch you questions and learn how to answer them confidently. It's not always easy to showcase ourselves as an employer's ideal employee, and sometimes it can make us miss a great opportunity, but you're not a loser for that. Just keep your cool and next interview, imagine yourself with the job already!

Get someone to help you go over your resume, tweek it a bit, and then do pretend job interviews. There are many websites that provide sample interview questions depending on the type of job you're aiming for. Sit in front of the mirror and notice your posture and the way you speak.
Don'g give up and beat yourself up about it. You did land a job it just wasn't convenient for you. Keep trying.

What you are talking about it karma, not punishment for sins... all punishment for sins is recieved after you pass away. Karma is not really real, it is mostly in your head... sort of like if you are feeling sorry for something that you have done, you will not act normal during you interview... but no, you are not being punished for a sin you committed. And about your job... just hang in there... if you did not get the other jobs, you just weren't meant to get them... God wants you to be where you are for a reason...

You are not a loser. You just don't interview well. It can take a lot of practice to do it well, so try practicing. Get a friend or two to lob questions at you to help build your confidence, then go out and land that job you want!

It would probably be easier in your mind to think you sinned and deserve punishment instead of being under qualified for good jobs.
The only thing you did wrong is not getting the education and training you needed. If anything that would be the sin you commited.
Thumbs down me, but that is the cold hard truth.

No, no sin, just practice. U need to practice- create a mock interview with ur friends or by ur self to practice what u need to know. U know nervs betray everyone. Be patient and dont settle for less, practice and find another job... Good luck

You're not a loser. You think you got nervous? I'm the queen of nervousness. You should have seen me making presentations for projects at university. My friends used to look at me with pity. My closest friend knew that I used to memorize my speeches. You are not stupid. When people get nervous, they sometimes can't think rationally...like me. I've spilled juice on my boyfriend's sister, I've frozen speechless in front of a class, I've stammered through presentations, all because of nervousness. Whatever is meant for you will eventually be given to you. It's very hard to get a job these days. I went through the same thing. I sent out so many applications and finally I got a job where people talked down to me and the salary was small. I got fed up and came to work with my parents. Maybe you could try opening your own business. Sometimes we want something but God has a different plan for us. Keep applying for jobs. My best friend is in a predicament like yours. She's a great girl but she can't get a job she's comfortable with and she's frustrated with her present job. When going for interviews, think of potential questions and possible answers. When you look at your interviewers, see them as normal human beings as yourself. Concentrate on what you're saying. Think your words through and speak slowly. Speak from your heart. Ask God to guide you also. I once heard of a girl who asked her interviewers for feedback on the interview itself. Perhaps, after an interview or the day after, you can call the interviewer and ask him/her what factors may have worked against you etc. Tell them you just want feedback to make yourself more marketable. Good luck sis and don't worry. For my graduation, the guy who got top honours tripped after he received his award. Shortly after, he went up to collect his certificate and tripped again! I mean tripped as in falling on the floor, not just stumbling. Honest to God. See! Even the best of us slip up.
P.S. -
I remembered this quote "Courage is not the absence of fear, it is taking action in the face of it."
Most employers also look for experienced people. Maybe you can offer to work at the place of your choice for about six months but with a lower pay...just to get the experience. They might be glad to have the extra help for less money and you will have something extra for your resume.
