I’ve been job searching for 1.5 months intensively, lost count of how many jobs i’ve applied for. I’ve gotten maybe 4 interviews and everything has been rejection so far. I’m afraid that all employers see is restaurant manager. I started as a server with no experience to get my own place, but within 4 mo. I was a made manager and here I am a little less than two years later- General Manager of that restaurant. Now I want out but I’m having very little luck and losing hope. Any advice?

If you’re not getting interviews, you’re not telling the right story. You have progressive promotions into a leadership role with direct management responsibility of people in a high-paced and demanding customer service role. You have leadership experience and hiring/ firing responsibilities. Did your restaurant get more profitable? (Hint - It did.) Then you increased revenue by 5% and operating income by 7%. Try framing your resume by your achievements not your tasks, then ask ChatGPT to help format your achievements to mirror the jobs you want.

I feel like I am very naive and cannot read between the lines, so I can’t tell if someone is trying to fuck me over or not.

Does anyone else feel similarly? If so, how have you dealt with it?

I’ve suffered from workaholism for a long time.

It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.
