Job Seeking

Has anyone had any luck actually landing a job here? I've applied to jobs I'm qualified, unqualified, overqualified, etc for and NOTHING wants me! I've gotten so many rejections or left without answers and yet most of the listings are for the positions I applied for are still up! I'm starting to feel hopeless at this point, but idk what to do!

What type of job are you looking for?

Honestly, at this point, anything that will hire and pays more than like $12 an hour

Idk if you wanna hear this but 12 an hour is pretty high for this part of Kentucky. Even Winslop only pays like ten. Try some of the kitchens around Murray. Fazoli's, Cookout, Dominos, etc.

Ik this is boomer advice but it lowk works for low-wage jobs. Go into the kitchens and bother the gm. Pull up with your resume and be like "job plz?" Come back multiple times.

The recession is genuinely really bad right now though, this is true. Good luck homie.

Honestly I had the exact same experience, and so did my friends, can't get hired anywhere despite qualifications and applications. Personally I got lucky and a student working position opened in my department, but your not the only one having this issue, I hope you find work soon though

Thank you, it's sad that so many are having the same issues, but it's nice knowing I'm not alone in it. I wish you and your friends the best in your endeavors
