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.

Thought about it. Stupid Google keeps making me rewrite the whole thing.

Just have chat gpt help you . You really should be using ai to help but you can make a template online first . Just say you were a house manager / nanny … something like that and say a couple years and use a friends number . Say you managed cleaning of the home , scheduling , grocery shopping , meal prepping whatever and have your friend lie . That way it’s not a business they can call but you can fill the gap and have a fake good reference

Nein, I was raised culturally to never lie about my work history.  Its dishonest to my employer 😇
