So I’ve been unemployed for over a year now considered long term unemployed my severance ran out and my unemployment benefits ran out I’m a bit on a pickle here! So I need to find ways to make money fast and remote as I have a toddler to pick up from school. At this point I’m overwhelmed. I have applied to over 1000 jobs and gone to 20-30 interviews. No success yet I welcome any ideas! If you have any ideas for me I would love to give it a try! Be creative! Consider this a group project!

You may need to pivot into a new industry and even consider a trade like nursing that has many more opportunities and longer term stability. It may require training but it very well may be worth it in the end.

Thank you! I have tried to pivot nursing is not an option for me as I have a bad problem with blood but that is really good advise thank you!

Marketing and Comms are absolutely brutal fields to be in right now, have you tried looking at similar fields? (think PR, maybe even UI/UX or design fields) If not I’d start looking into either a side hustle (Uber/Onlyfans/Part-Time work) while you grind out applications and interviews on the side or find a spouse to support you

Thank you for your reply/ time/ tips! I’ve tried looking as a paralegal my field before, bartender that I did for years. I even tried removing some of my qualifications for a specialist role or even admin assistant. Uber is not an option for me as I don’t drive. I will try everything else thank you so much!

I *vaguely* heard a lot of marketing people are shifting to creative strategist roles. Maybe also learning to run online ads at scale could be worth it, that ad revenue is still going strong for the big tech platforms. Just spitballing here, though
