I’m Schedule A, have a few letters of recommendation, have my resume, and I’m getting my Bachelor’s degree in Communications in one month. I’m Latino or Latina (?) so I guess there’s some DEI service I can utilize.
…I can’t fucking wait. I need a job. I need income. I need a fucking car or transportation. I need to move from this place.
It’s Joever, folks… for Makan, ig? Idk, I had to squeeze in the current lingo there. But as the Joe(ker) himself said, the four-letter word on everyone’s minds is “Jobs! J-O-B-S!” (Yeah, I had to Segway to an old Biden gaffe there, you see).
Anyway, I’m not anti-work, like what they have on that subreddit… and I’ve never exactly been “neutral” on work either.
I’m “pro-work,” if anything. I want a career. I want a job or role I can take pride in. I’m disabled, yes. I’m Autistic, among other things. But gosh darnit to frick (I know, I know, naughty and vulgar language), I need a job. Maybe a union job with LiUNA or whatever. But I need a job.
But for the life of me, I suck at job-hunting.
I’m not sure what details to give to you all, but I need pointers on how to land a job, maybe you can all tell me how you were able to do it (…assuming you did, mind you)?
I just need advice…
depending on your location and willingness/ability to relocate, state government can be cool. maybe even the state you’re in now!
some are union, the benefits can be alright too. they usually have their own state gov website for postings/application. same with state universities. they are usually cool about accomodations once you are in the door as they have federal compliance requirements to receive federal monies.
just some ideas! job searching is draining AF, but pace yourself and jumping through those institutional hoops can pay off with a chill ass gig sometimes, maybe even one helping the public!
“they usually have their own state gov website for postings/application. same with state universities. they are usually cool about accomodations once you are in the door as they have federal compliance requirements to receive federal monies.”
Okay, this is important. I’ll definitely look into this.
