I’m at my wits end. I’ve been searching for a full-time job for
months and after every rejection email I get, it sends me deeper into a pit of hopelessness. I’ve applied to so many jobs in different industries. At this point, I’ve started applying to any industry and every time I send out an application, it’s a bitter feeling knowing most will go without response or a rejection email in return. I just needed to vent because this absolutely sucks.

I am so sorry you are going through this. This is not ideal, but I have been there before (searching for 4 months and nothing) and someone from this community told me to add keywords in my resume written in white to show better at ATS systems, and it really helped me. I also narrowed down my search into three roles I like, and I created 3 resumes specific for each one using AI and the right language, and after 3 weeks, I got a job, so it works! I hope it helps YOU!

It’s not you, it’s the job market. It is absolutely horrible out there. Just keep on sending those resumes. Could you somehow walk into a restaurant to see if they are hiring, sometimes that helps.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
