Sigh.
Have you been working admin for the past 3 years?

Put in your zip code & you will see jobs that are currently hireling in your area. That's how I found my job.

You always have to start from the bottom to get to the top. So don't give up.
Thanks for the positive words. I really appreciate it and I hope to get hire soon. And congrats on your new job.

Haha. These are the same sites I check each morning. You can also check your local online newspaper classifieds under employment.

No, I have been freelancing for very small jobs, barely any income because around where I live, there aren't many jobs for undocumented people, if any.

I had a regular job, part time, 3 years ago, but ever since then, I haven't been able to find much beyond writing jobs, graphic design, babysitting even.

you can also search on google for your states workforce webpage for your area, there is usually alot of job postings for your local area. For example for my area i would either search minnesota works(https://www.minnesotaworks.net/) , or iowa jobs(www.iowajobs.org/). "State" workforce, if your state has one it should pop up. also try a staffing agency as it would get your foot in the door at least and get employed based on your skills rather than on work history. Good luck everyone!
