Hello my name is Alexis, I’ve been looking for a job since January and haven’t had much luck. I am on probation but I’m not my past and it seems all the jobs around me can’t see past that. I do have spotty job history but if you teach me how to do it, I can get it done! I live in Baytown and can’t really travel outside of that. Please someone give me chance! I’m just trying to make it!

Honestly I think most employers /hiring managers are using AI screeners to comb through resumes and are not actually looking at most of them. So my recommendation to you, and this is the only thing that has worked for me in the last year, is to only apply to jobs where you can get internal referrals. Literally the only interviews I got when I was job searching were from places where I got a friend or acquaintance to put my name in, and once they put my name in, the hiring team reached out to interview me immediately. Works like a charm, my friend! Best of luck to you!!
