At the microphone of Sana Blanger that evening, Marie, a plastic arts teacher for 20 years, explains that she had to stop teaching because of an allergic disease and explains her difficulties in finding a job.

An adaptation post that lasted only a short time

If in personal life, all is well for Marie, "at the professional level, I am in a galley that never ends. It's a kind of impasse", she reports to Sana Blanger.

"I do not even dare to tell you how many applications I have sent in the last seven years", breathes Marie, who traces her story on the free antenna of Europe 1.

"I was a teacher for 20 years. I was a plastic arts teacher, and I had an allergic disease that no longer gave me the opportunity to teach students, which was really a pain. heart for me. So, I was in an adaptation position at the rectorate, which went very well. I had a great position, very interesting. But, in reality, adaptation positions only last for a while", underlines Marie.

"Go see a marabout", his friends tell him

"At one point, we try to put you in boxes, and they are not necessarily the right ones. From plastic arts teacher, I went to manager, which did not interest me at all. Finally, I I decided to leave the National Education to set up a project. But the project fell apart", she explains.

"It was a foundry project, since I had trained in art foundry. From that moment on, I only had disasters. I can't tell you all about them because you wouldn't believe me, it's so delusional", she says on the Free antenna of Europe 1. "My close friends are at the stage of telling me 'Go see a marabout'. Whether it's administrative files, or others, everything I have been implementing has been wrong for several years."

A food job that lasted six years

After this first "auto-entrepreneur fiasco", due to external problems, relates Marie, the listener affirms that she then found "a food job thanks to a friend, and I became a saleswoman in a bakery. It was a great experience which initially was supposed to last a very short time, and lasted six years”, explains the former plastic arts teacher.

"During this time when I had this food job, I tried to find something else in the cultural field. And, in reality, it's completely crazy, but I never had my chance", regrets Marie, who lives in Marseilles.

The listener specifies that she has had several experiences as a journalist, an assistant in an embassy, ​​and that she has a diploma in plastic arts.

"I have a very nice CV, but I have a kind of scoumoune. Out of 276 applications, I was selected 16 times, and each time, there was something," says Marie.

"We took someone younger", or "we took someone who was at the RSA, because often in the cultural field, we go to structures that are limited in terms of budget... It's something crazy: each time, luck does not smile on me”, despairs the former professor, despite the promises of hiring from internal staff.

“Each time, something happened. I didn’t even go as far as the interviews. I was selected, they sent me notices that my application had interested. flan", recalls Marie.

Repercussions on his health

The listener recounts another recent disappointment, coming from a small association near Marseilles which had caught her attention.

"I knew they had taken someone who was at the RSA. There, it shot me. Even an association, which does not have a lot of means, does not give me a chance. However, they m said I had a stellar resume. It happened a month and a half ago, and since then it's been giving me panic attacks, something I've never had in my life. , and even skin manifestations. I am at a stage where it becomes pathological", explains Marie to Sana Blanger.

"I am developing agoraphobia. I have been staying at home for three weeks, a little locked up. I no longer want to see anyone. My friends are worried, call me", she continues, "afterwards, it's is a question of ego too. I want to come back a bit in style, to tell them that I have found a great job, but it's so slow, hard and complicated that I don't know what to do anymore."

The former plastic arts teacher specifies that she has already done two skills assessments, but that it has not been useful to her for the moment.

"I'm a bit in a hellish cog", she concludes on the Free antenna.
