🚨I'm getting so mentally exhausted!!!🚨
Due to my age I decided to get out of factory work and move on to restaurant/retail. I get ghosted or to be told that they have to interview other candidates they'll let me know. I'm wanting to move on to retail or fast food due to my age I need to get out of factory work. Is anyone else mentally drained with the state of the job market? ! I know that I don't have a bunch of experience. But they should be willing to give someone a chance just saying!

I'm right there with you. I'm trying to escape a toxic work environment and I'm getting nothing but crickets from everywhere I've applied to. So many places have jobs posted but nobody seems to be actually hiring! It can be really frustrating. However, we just have to stick with it. I'm sorry you're dealing with the mental exhaustion, but I'm rooting for you!

Hear me out, do you have any friends or family members in the food industry at all? I started in my current restaurant as a busser from a friend referral and worked my way up from there. It sounds like you're willing to work and have great work ethic and those are the most important qualities. Are you applying for specific positions?

Some of the jobs yes I've applied for a specific job and others I've been open depending upon what they're asking for. Unfortunately I don't. Mostly everyone I know is either factory work or IT techs

Restaurants won't be any easier than factory work.

Yes it will for a few reasons. The biggest is I can work park time. Around here no factory will let you work part time

Is anyone concerned the push for sexual equality in pay without accordant leveling of parental leave is gonna backfire?

Here’s a hypothetical:

A company has 2 candidates, aged 25-30, equal in every respect save one’s a man the other’s a woman. Maybe the woman is a slightly better candidate overall. They’d have equal comp.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷
