Knocked back for a real estate traineeship, not feeling great about myself.

Hi there.. I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask, so if there is another forum could you please recommend it for me.

I have been out of work for a little over a year now as I was discriminated against being pregnant and had my son who is now 10 months old. I wasn’t actually looking for a job, browsing really. I came across a full real estate traineeship job opening in my area that states it’s for all ages and I thought I would apply as it is full time, training provided and being a full time position would give me opportunities like buying a house in future etc I have a decent resume, I sent it but I didn’t have access to my cover letter so I couldn’t send that. I know they read my resume as it notifies you and heard nothing back from them. Two weeks later I noticed they put another advertisement out on Facebook so I thought I would update my application and send the cover letter. I then applied for two other real estate traineeships. I also enrolled into studying real estate just incase I don’t get hired. Today I received another notification that my application won’t progress to the next stage.

The thing is I dropped out of high school in 2012 when I was in year 12 (I wagged every day) and then I became a cleaner in 2014. But I was a hard worker. I held down a job for 6 years, I was promoted to supervisor, I won employee of the year one year and sometimes I would only get 4hrs of sleep between my night shift and day shift.

I am only 26 years old, my presentation is good. I’m fashionable, placid and polite.

I am just feeling like I wasn’t even Considered for a job interview because I was a cleaner with no education. I thought it being a traineeship surely they would at least give me an interview as I put in effort to write a good resume and cover letter.

So what can I do to improve my chances of landing a traineeship in real estate? What are they looking for?

Am I better of studying real estate? Which in fact getting certified takes a lot less time than a traineeship.
