Job history issues
I've had jobs that some people think are bad or distasteful. I'm trying to get regular jobs but my resume is getting in the way. If I don't list these jobs, I have basically no employment history. When I list them, I'm normally rejected right away or get called in for some extra, personal interviews where I'm asked all sorts of personal questions about the work.
Hello Hanna, You have two fields you can capitalize on...
- Hospitality Industry
- Media/Movie Industry
Maybe check around for movie crew support or related work. It may not be a "regular" job, but what is regular? Maybe check into something like Rover since you have dog walking experience. I just got set up for doing that as a side gig. Maybe even consider "Revitalization" Cleaning/Helper...that is with groups that take care of HUD, foreclosed, and rental properties... you never know!
Take pride in what you do, value yourself, and don't give up!
Something going to fall threw ma
I do not know much about t job resumes. I filled out mine on indeed.com. Working at a gas station was not my job of choice but a job is better than none at all.
Do you have the rite resume format???
Hey Hannah Messeng , hope you are doing well. It's so hard what you've been through -- applying to hundreds of jobs and facing abuse in some cases. My heart goes out to you.
Don't sell yourself short -- it's clear from you story (being your sister's legal guardian, your previous cleaning experience, etc...) that you have demonstrated reliability and responsibility. Keep on channeling those qualities and somebody is bound to give you a chance at work. Best wishes, Jeff
Me myself I'm looking to employ someone that is good at writing proposals and other office and business related things so if you're interested and you're good at those things please get back to me Tiffany thanks

Hi Hannah Messeng ! So what do you consider a "regular job"? I see that you have some cleaning experience on your Jobcase profile. Are you looking to do a 180 and change up your career path? What are you interested in doing now?
Whatever work you did in the past, It is okay. When you leave it off you leave gaps in your resume.
