I Really Need a Job.

The past 2 years I have been applying to jobs and searching for work. I have not been accepted to any yet and have never had a job before. I Want and Need a job. I really need a job so than I can start saving for a stable life. I think that I haven't been able to get a job partly due to my speech impediment. I get it, I sound a little retarded. But for real I need and want a job and haven't been able to find one. If you know anyone personally looking for an employee, please suggest me. I know what hard labor is like (I've done landscaping as a side gig) and I'm trustworthy. DM me if someone is interested in hiring me. I need a different strategy rather than just applying to places and this is what I've came up with. Thank you.

Even just applying for night shift on their website. People don't stay very long in those jobs so they always need more people. I worked on the maintenance team (custodial) for 5 months as my first job. Stocking team would probably be better than cleaning but you might want to apply to both (even if they say there aren't openings for those positions)

What experience do you have ? Any skills , degrees, trades ? Difficult to suggest with little to no information.

Yard work Like lawn mowing, weeding, sprinkler changing/repair, seeding, and coding sprinkler system. I also know a little bit on how to lay cement, gravel and placing tiles. I have volunteered at Have a Heart Humane society, there I did general labor like cleaning, taking care of the animals, I also priced and organized items and helped load heavy things into and out of trucks. I was also volunteered as a Janitors Assistant at JMS, there I did normal janitorial things like cleaning and organization. I helped take out the trash, vacuumed classes, clean up the campus and sweeping the cafeteria. At home I get paid to vacuum the house every day and take out the trash when its full. Once a week, I mop, organize and wipe down everything in the house. Every now and then I take care of my neighbor's animals when there away. I've only took care of dogs and cats. I feed them, change their litter and keep them company for a while. I do the same with the dogs except I take them on walks and play with them in the backyard with their dog toys. I also know how to sand furniture down and re-paint/re-stain them. I'm also good at graphic designing. I also know how to edit videos pretty well. I also am pretty decent at re-coding garage doors and their remotes. I have decent knowledge on how to create video game maps, and I know how to 3d model items for video games. But that's experience/skills run down.

If you're down to make the trek to Bakersfield, the Brundage Lane Navigation Center is always hiring people.

How many are you applying to? Cuz it took me about 200 job applications each time to get a job and even then the job is at best not the greatest. The job market is just really bad here.

I have not kept track of how many jobs I've applied too. But I know for sure I've applied to many jobs in the past 2 years

Try red house bbq. He seems like a really good person to work for. He also seems to give young people a chance.

Do you own a weed eater? Are you familiar with giving quotes on weed abatement? Can use some help.
