I've applied to so many places in retail and food services but it's so hard getting through the application progress, even when I manage to get an interview I always get the follow-up email with "thank you for applying" and am still unemployed. If I try to call and ask to set up an interview they usually say something along the lines of "Our gm will go over your application and get back to you later" and then I'm ghosted. What do I do???

Unfortunately, I don't know that there is a lot you can do outside of making sure to tailor your resume as closely as possible to the jobs you're applying for. The biggest thing to remember is that you're not alone in this, and it's not you or your qualifications that are the issue. The job market is really bad right now, and the sheer number of companies posting and ghosting is insane.

I’ve been having the same issues

Trigger: rare illness post birth

Just sharing that I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia 3 days after giving birth despite not having risk factors or preeclampsia in my pregnancy. Sharing as I had absolutely no idea about this illness.

Main things to do are check your BP everyday at least the first ten days after you give birth, and go to hospital if it's very high (over 160/110). If you get severe headache or stomach ache then also be vigilant.

Happy to answer any questions!

I had quite the day the other day. Coustmer comes in and then ends up leaving with a grossed out look on his face just for him to put in a complaint about my appearance...he down right called me some nasty things for no reason. Still feeling gross about it. He was upset for no reason as far as I'm concerned.

So I work as an assistant manager at a restaurant for the past 9 months. I've worked in restaurants for the past 6 years science I was 16. Now I'm 22. I went to a trade school for media and film. I got a dream opportunity to work in the field making about the same or 10% more. I told myself the only reason I'd leave this company is for this type of job. Should I take the chance at this job and leave the restaurant that is on the rise and growing?

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

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.
