I’m so tired of working in customer service and retail but any time I try to apply for anything outside of that even when it’s entry level, I can’t seem to break out. I would rather work as a cleaner or doing night freight or something where I don’t have to constantly be masking for people all the time. How do I get out help

Have you applied at an airport? I know airports are often hiring and pay decent. I also know they have 24 hours available because they're always open. That's what my husband does, he's a cleaner at the airport and he likes it enough.

A big problem now is that the job market is such a mess that it's hard to move around. All you can do is keep looking. Customer service at least gives you some transferable skills, you should be able to find something else, at least when the job market picks up again.

Keep applying. Change the keywords on your resume to those that would apply to the field you’re applying to. The AI in the applications scan your resume looking for specific words and if they find what they’re looking for, you’re more likely to get a call

I think it's hard to break out of this industry it just requires lots of persistence and effort. Goodluck in your freedom!

I get that. Customer service can really wear you down, and it’s frustrating when trying to switch feels impossible. Sometimes looking for roles that don’t require a lot of people-facing interaction, even outside your usual industry, can be a good step. Networking or temp agencies can also open doors you might not see on job boards.
