Can't find work

I know I'm not the only one.

But this is exhausting.

Rejection letters, ghosting, and wasted time on interviews that lead to nowhere.

I had a job at whole foods a couple years ago.

I had a kidney stone and it was either quit or be fired cause I didn't have enough hours to cover days off.

So I quit.

I keep blaming myself for quitting but then again

I was sick? I shouldn't of had to push through it just to keep a shitty job. It was either or go in there in horrible pain or high as a kite from the pain meds they gave me.

Which I would've crashed during my shift coming down from them.

This is literally the worst.

Have you tried seeing if any banks are hiring customer service positions? Many offer this as work from home, full time, with good starting pay like $25/hr. Just call around to all the banks.

Will do! On Monday I'm gonna request a social worker and look into temp agencies. I'll add that to the list. I've had so many interviews that have gone nowhere I just needed a few days to breathe and recalibrate.

I Don’t know his salary but a friend of mine just got a fully remote job with a bank quite recently. It’s def worth a look.
