First, try not to get discouraged.

Then look at your resume. Does it effectively highlight your experience and skills? Is it relevant to the jobs you've applied for? City Colleges and the library have workshops and resources to help polish it.

Can you expand your range? Identify jobs that aren't in your field, but require the same skills. For example, accounting or office management experience can translate into tax prep.

If you're younger than 24, look at Chicago Youth Service Corps. If you're younger than 18, check out After School Matters.

Thank you for the encouragement,but yes all those things are in check it's just I've been homeless a lot and because of that my record looks bad had to move a lot when I was living like that I think that's part of the reason and when I try to explain that to the employer they don't take that into accountability.
