Discouraged, disappointed and critically broke.
For the last 5 months, I have been diligently and desperately on the hunt for a job. My days are consumed by resumes, job sites, apps , heartbreaking interviews and emails and encountering unbelievably insane work. I wish I could post all the apps I have been filling out on this site, so that you could see what I'm talking about. The only thing that I can really do is food service or janitorial and I can't even get Mc Donald's or Burger King to hire me. Don't get me wrong, I'm working to get out the food service industry because for me, it's horrible and I hate it. But I'm willing to out up with it in order to support myself. And it's just so sad that out of all the jobs I've applied for, none of em have given me an opportunity. ABSOLUTELY NO BODY. I'm fed up, I'm disgusted, I'm angry, I'm sad and I'm feeling totally horrible...and what's even sadder, is that there is nothing anyone can do to help.
Research if there is a manpower temp agency nearest you for warehouse work, etc.... Doordash. Com/instacart.Com to deliver groceries if you have a car. Apply to group homes, juvenile placements, and or juvenile shelters for maintenance/janitorial work. Go on Careerbuilder. Com and submit 20 resumes per day, Monday through Friday; or 30 per days that you are off. Pray!
