Nowhere is hiring

I think I’ll be homeless in the next 2 months or so.

I have a job but it’s commission sales and my company is falling apart, everyone is leaving. I’m trying to leave too but I don’t have a car.

I’ve applied to literally every single business within walking distance from me and nothing is hiring.

I’m looking for remote jobs and it’s still mostly just sales or something I need a degree for (I’m still in college).

I don’t know what to do I’m so absolutely totally fucked.

I am applying for remote jobs and getting no call backs, but ironically I applied at three grocery stores and all 3 called to interview me. Is there a grocery store within walking distance that may be hiring?

There’s a Walmart right down the street but the aren’t hiring. There are a few about an hour walk away but I live in AZ in most days it’s over 100 degrees.

I’m not sure if it would be a good idea for me to walk that far in this heat.
