I'm just sick of being poor

Last Friday, I received a phone call and an email from the recruitment team of the company I am applying for that the hiring manager's interview will be conducted on Monday, onsite. I politely asked if we could do the interview online like Zoom or through phone calls, I was told that the position I am applying requires interviews to be conducted on site.

I applied for an associate manager (which was actually my role from my previous company) last May, and now is the time I have the opportunity to hopefully get the job. It's actually one of my dreams to be a part of the largest and established bank in the US who happened to have an in-house site in BGC. This is my first application since being diagnosed with mild severe depression just a couple of months ago. I also ended a 4-year relationship because I am mentally and financially incapable of handling it. I got knocked on a different path of life and I am finding this application as a way to get back.

I really wanted to get this job, but I don't have money. I'm fucking broke and I'm sick of this. This is basically a gamble writing this. I did not expect that Online Limos will be on my bingo card. To others who would say that I should contact my relatives, mind you, I exhausted it already. I don't ask for a fortune. I am asking if I could borrow pamasahe from Calamba to Market! Market!, and I'll just walk to their building. I just need to attend this interview and hopefully, get this job. I'm really sorry.
