I had an interview today at a Casino, foods & beverages position, nonetheless I WALKED OUT after a few minutes of starting the interview with the line-cook due to the severe and stressful panic attacks that I am currently severed under. If was F-ing heavvyyyy. I couldn't take it, I had to get up and run out of the main building. It was vertigo, claustrophobic jizz rattling all over my brain...AGH!

craigslist is a good source, and not as sketch as folks may think. Just follow the tips they have on there to ensure privacy/security. Many employers do not give out full details for the sole purpose of not having folks solicit them for w/e reason.

So far I have applied to 6 total areas. All entry level, nothing spectacular. The caveat is many places are only looking to hire full-time workers. Which cuts me/us out of a lot of jobs.

I received an email today from a local seasonal employer who posted about a paid internship on craigslist. I have been mailed asking when would be a good time for me to have an interview. Hope things go well the pay isn't great, but it is 4 months experience that could prove invaluable as I transition to another location.

My mother mentioned the same. She has a pal who works at our local HD. It has something to do with seasonal work/labor. I suppose seasonal opportunity is something to think about. Pools...become a lifeguard haha.

They see, pretty legit, no scam.

I have also tried Craiglist but meehh. However, I would say that if you are looking in Craiglist and you are afraid of doing applications online, don't do them, just write down the company's adress (if shown) and move along to the next one and if you can go next day and do an application in person (if you can).

We all have to start somewhere. I had shitty jobs in my past. I was a porter for 2 years, not the worst job but I want to be somewhere were I can learn SOMETHING that is going to help me out with a career . My family and I have hit rock bottom like many you you here. We had to go pick up oranges , cucumber (the worst) , pine needling and others. It SUCKS!! but we just have to keep on fighting! Don't give up!

I didn't get the calls I was expecting for the type of work I was looking for.

But yeah, posting your resume will help.

You guys can also try: indeed, snagajob, simplyhired, monster, careerbuilder and more...

Good luck

The funny thing is we are all pretty damn intelligent and extremely hard working and all we can currently do for ourselves is get some tedious job to cover our daily lives. Lol

I wonder if this is just us or is it just this bad in the US right now?
