I’m Schedule A, have a few letters of recommendation, have my resume, and I’m getting my Bachelor’s degree in Communications in one month. I’m Latino or Latina (?) so I guess there’s some DEI service I can utilize.

…I can’t fucking wait. I need a job. I need income. I need a fucking car or transportation. I need to move from this place.

It’s Joever, folks… for Makan, ig? Idk, I had to squeeze in the current lingo there. But as the Joe(ker) himself said, the four-letter word on everyone’s minds is “Jobs! J-O-B-S!” (Yeah, I had to Segway to an old Biden gaffe there, you see).

Anyway, I’m not anti-work, like what they have on that subreddit… and I’ve never exactly been “neutral” on work either.

I’m “pro-work,” if anything. I want a career. I want a job or role I can take pride in. I’m disabled, yes. I’m Autistic, among other things. But gosh darnit to frick (I know, I know, naughty and vulgar language), I need a job. Maybe a union job with LiUNA or whatever. But I need a job.

But for the life of me, I suck at job-hunting.

I’m not sure what details to give to you all, but I need pointers on how to land a job, maybe you can all tell me how you were able to do it (…assuming you did, mind you)?

I just need advice…

    If it really comes down to it, apply for everything, go to every interview and take the first thing you think you could actually do.

    If you can stand it for at least a while, you have got over the first and biggest hurdle.

    It’s easier to get a job if you already have a job.

      …That… last part is something I didn’t really think about.

      Ugh, I will definitely have to settle, I’ll say that much.

        It sucks but the proper mindset is “building” not “settling”.

        Think leapfrog
