It's that bad in the US. Every time a walmart opens up, they run a story how they have 200 position and have 15,000 applicants.

I wonder if this is just us or is it just this bad in the US right now?
I accepted a job offer as a software engineer for a large US car company. I haven't even graduated yet, so not everyone is getting tedious jobs.

Also, currently working as a web developer for the administration at my university.

I used to work in restaurants before and I have been able to move up the ranks very fast as soon as I got my work permit.

Sorry to hear that, I few weeks back I had, (which I did not know was having) a panic attack, I thought I was literally having a heart attack and felt like I was going to die! Worst feeling ever. Did you feel the same

It's even more difficult when you don't have much experience or even a bachelor's degree.

I honestly think it is. It's still tough finding a job but it's nothing compared to a few years back. Right now you just can't be picky if you have zero job experience. January through mid March I've noticed is a really bad time to go job hunting.

I have applied at over ten places and plan to apply to which ever job I can as long as it's
close to my house cause I take the bus. Over half those places have already told me that
"we are unable to consider your application at this time"
Now, I am 31 and used to work with a fake ssn
with a different name, so I can't put any of job experience on any app.
Do you guys think that will put off some employers?

I think that I will go kind of get desperate if
I get many more "we are unable to consider your application at this time".
So any Dreamer that lives in the Riverside CA area and knows where
I might go and check for a job, I would really, I mean, really appreciate it.

I have already stated this on some other post but
US IMMIGRATION= CAN KISS MY slightly BROWN ASS,
cause I turned 21 when my mom, who is now a US citizen,
tried to adjust my status and was the only one out of status in my
family and had to do what ever to survive and eat so
US IMMIGRATION= CAN KISS MY slightly BROWN ASS,

For now i would suggest you apply at Mexican stores (without disclosing ur social before eing hired of course
Or retail stores.
What you might want to do is pick a newspaper and see what places may be hiring. For now im going to work at a mexican store
