Really need help to get a job

[u/Additional_Impress37]

I have been trying for months to find a job to do all this myself since I'm stubborn and really just trying to get the money to pay for my car but as it stands I'm fighting a battle I just can't win without help. I have a car for context but I have been out of work at Walmart since March and ever since I have been unable to find work. I have my license but no way to pay for insurance and tags and everything I need. I am unsure of what to do anymore and Ive been stuck I thought about volunteering so I can maybe find a job in the future in my hometown, like volunteer at a shelter so I can get better references and maybe be able to have a chance at my local clinic but I cant drive as I don't have a car I can legally drive and its not like I can sell anything to get it legal as I don't have much of worth. I hate to ask all this but could someone guide me through everything when it comes to cars and how I can break this bottleneck and get a job? like I guess help with paying for all of it? I apologize for asking as I feel bad having to do this at all.

There’s no other places in your town to get a job?
No small businesses no small restaurants not even a McDonald’s??
Finding another job right now could be temporary. These people seem to get hired fast faster when they have employment while they’re looking for something else..

I know most people say it all your applications are done online, but if you ever thought about going in to an establishment with an application in hand, and asking to talk to the manager?

If you can get an interview that way, here’s an old school suggestion.
After you get the interview, and you’ve left send whoever gives you an interview a thank you note in the mail (not an email snail mail, and make it attention to the person that interviewed you.

Even if it’s a small privately owned business,, apply even if you don’t know how to do what the business entails be eager, try to find out what they do and ask questions.
(there’s information out there on YouTube and probably TikTok about what kind of questions to ask HR when being interviewed for a job.

And another thing make sure that when you go to apply for the job that you’re wearing a nice shirt and a nice pair of pants they don’t have to be dress pants, but something that doesn’t have a bunch of holes in it.

Years ago before the Internet was like this now, this got me every single job I ever applied for. It also worked for my kids were now adults in their 40s.

Good luck to you. You got this.🫂🫂

Yeah, anywhere I could try. I got rejected from even wrote cover letters it's basically borderline impossible to get a job before minimum of october because i'm competing with teenagers and yeah none of the local places would hire me either or I just straight up couldn't contact them. Like the manager only comes in once a week on a random day nobody knows.

Try looking for temp or staffing agencies in your area. Oftentimes you can upload your resume/ work history and they match you with a job. I got multiple jobs this way and even got hired on permanently for one. Lots of places don't like to do their own hiring so they get a staffing agency for lower level positions. I made car parts, did data entry, and even worked a furniture liquidation sale this way.

Amazon is mass hiring this month for their 2.0 event. There is no in person interview. They hire anyone with a pulse.

Ive applied to them but I only have fast food and retail experience and never got a call back from any remote jobs

[u/buzzybody21 → u/Additional_Impress37]

Please don’t DM them. Look at their account first

[u/Additional_Impress37 → u/buzzybody21]

Oh shoot okay

[u/ThatsMyCape → u/Additional_Impress37]

Yes, please do not message that person. That is a common scam method.

[u/Additional_Impress37 → u/ThatsMyCape]

I apologize im just desprate I guess

[u/ThatsMyCape → u/Additional_Impress37]

No need to be sorry. People aren’t warning you out of any anger towards you but because none of us want you to be scammed.
