Hello, my name is Lillith. Everyone I know calls me Bug. Is everyone having the same problem with the online applications? "I'm sorry to inform you" Emails? I've applied to so many places, called and called. But nothing. I just turned 18, and I've been homeless for about 2 years now, struggling with this. I'm an artist, house cleaner, yard worker, you name it. I just need off the streets. Does anyone know somewhere actually hiring?

Hey Lillith (Bug),

I’m really sorry you’re going through this. It’s brutal out there, and those constant rejection emails can feel so discouraging, especially when you’re trying so hard to find something. The whole online application system can feel so impersonal and cold—trust me, you're not alone in feeling this frustration.

I don’t have specific places hiring at the moment, but I wanted to share a few resources that might be able to help:

Goodwill Job Training Programs: They offer job training, resume building, and job placement services. You can find local centers here: goodwill.org.

The Salvation Army: They often have employment assistance and shelter programs. You can check their services here: salvationarmyusa.org.

CareerOneStop: This is a U.S. Department of Labor resource for job searches and finding local job centers. You can explore more here: careeronestop.org.

211.org: This service can help you find local resources for job training, housing, and more. Just dial 211 or visit 211.org.

I really hope one of these leads can help cut through some of the barriers. It’s clear you’re strong and persistent, and even though it might not feel like it right now, that strength will help you push through this.

Take care and stay strong.

I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.

I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks
