Is anyone finding seasonal work for the holidays, even part time? I'm considering it. Would be a blow to my pride but that's becoming less and less important as I slowly spend my savings. Best ways to get over your own ego and take what's on offer?

Yep. Already worked in retail when I got laid off so I'm hoping (though it's unlikely) I can at least turn a seasonal position into something full time. At least working for the next month+ is better than nothing. F*ck your ego, if you need a job, take a job. Think about it like you're doing whatever you need to do to get your life in order - that's something to be proud of not ashamed.

You'd be surprised how many people with prestigious backgrounds or high intelligence have taken or considered seasonal work and related jobs to make ends meet while searching for another opportunity. Sometimes these things are out of your control. It may feel embarassing, but it is honorable.

Thank you, I really appreciate that. Was able to pick up something part time that starts next week.

I'm not getting any. I don't know why. Do businesses overlook people who have college degrees? I would think the stores where I live would be enthusiastic about hiring locals! But inflation MIGHT play a role in this since economists forecast less spending due to rising costs. But to your question, if you need the money, go ahead and do it. Better that than nothing

Anyone with stage IV endo and recurring Endometriomas gone on Lupron after egg retrieval?

The reason I’m not getting off of birth control now is because it manages my pain.

If 2+ people submit a referral on your behalf at their company for a position you recently applied for, does it make you stand out even more/increase your chances of getting an interview vs. just 1?

Worst part about being unemployed is the pity face everyone makes when you tell them. If I hear one more "don't worry you'll find something soon" I'm going to scream. Trying to be helpful is one thing but pitying me helps no one and makes me uncomfortable.

I’ve been applying for jobs and internships in my field (looking for jobs in media production, social media, music, entertainment) for months with no luck. They say it’s about connections, but my connections are limited especially in these fields. I am constantly ghosted by recruiters and managers on LinkedIn. I have film PA experience, but other than that my background is in retail. Any advice going forward?

How do you keep up/in touch with your network? Mine barely post anything on LinkedIn, so commenting on their posts is out of the question, and apparently it's impolite to just message or email them if the job searcher doesn't have anything to share besides asking for a referral or opening. If I don't have any relevant information to share with them, what should I do?
