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…

    I understand the last part, but I want, in my life, to at least try a career, try my hand at it. Not sure how to explain.

    No I get it. I’m in the same boat, I’m still trying to get a job and I really just want to start participating in the engineering world. It’s just so hard to be allowed in.

      Oh, fair. That I can understand. Me, I just want to promote things. I’m proficient in advertising. I’m proficient in Communications. Let me do that, world.
