I haven’t been able to find employment in 5 months. It’s getting so difficult stressing and being at home all day. I’ve been to many interviews and NOTHING works I think I’ve also developed depression.

Any help or suggestions? Anyone actually hiring ? I need help asap 😔

I highly recommend stopping by places you’ve applied to. The ones that didn’t reach out with interviews—sometimes stopping in and just putting a face to the name can increase your chances and shows initiative. I really hope you find somewhere! (I’m still searching too).

Yes it's been really hard for me to don't give up sometimes we might have to settle for a lesser paying job just to eat or pay a bill.

Hang in there ! You will find something. Maybe you come on too strong like me. I found that pretending I know nothing makes it easier to get a job because people don’t want to hire you if they think you are smarter than them. It’s hard to do because you have to stop yourself from doing what you know you should and ask the dumb question instead of just doing it or preventing it all together. They want to hear how you can improve not how they can improve even if they say “tell us how we can improve “

Once when I was waiting tables, I had a guy pay me cash. The change was 45 cents, which I didn't give back to him because like who wants that. He then asked where the change was, and when I explained that I didn't give back the loose change, he made a big stink about how dollars and cents matter and didn't leave me a tip.
