EDIT: Deadline is Monday @ 1pm, still nothing as of Sunday 11/3/24.. I may try another post tomorrow as I'm not sure what else to do haha.

Thank you to anyone and everyoe. I still have hope this will work out!

Posting again because my deadline is approaching to start work. To elaborate a little my family I live with (which I'm super fortunate to have a roof over my head) is on social security and not in a position to help right now.

I'm setting my sights a little lower, basically I figure I'll worry about the first week or so and take it from there. I expect to be paid in roughly 2-3 weeks and be self sufficient again, which is all I really want tbh.

Pretty please with cherries and whatever you like, anything helps to get me to work. I have been out of work for over 18 months and I'm so grateful to have a job finally - just gotta work out gas to get there.

I hope you all have a great day ❤️

Oh yeah CashApp and Venmo are both howmanydoes thank you!

Hi -

After a grueling 18+ months of unemployment I finally have a job offer. A good full time job, with benefits, and I'm ecstatic.

I live with family right now, about 30 miles away - so 60 miles round trip. I simply don't have any more resources at this point, so any amount really until I get my first paycheck in approximately 3 weeks would mean so much.

After I get paid I'd be willing to either return the money or just pass it along to another person in need. I'd also be happy to provide any kind of evidence via DM, offer letter, or whatever.

I lost pretty much everything, credit cards, property, moved back in with family, etc so I cannot begin to explain how happy I am about this lol.

Thank you so much for any consideration. It means a lot

I've posted previously and appreciate everyone and all the advice. As an update, I'm still without a job. IT in the Midwest area seems to be horrendously bad. I have friends out of work too, its not just me, but I'm over a year at this point.

Changed my resume more times than I can count, using advice from here, friends, ChatGPT, etc. No difference really.

My car was always first on the list to be replaced. Well, a few fays ago I hit/ran over an animal that ran out and it destroyed my radiator and who knows what else. This is a big problem, I live 30-35 minutes from any sort of city with jobs.

All I can do when I try to sleep is lay in bed and go over it all, how bad it is, what did I do wrong, why do things just keep getting worse and worse, etc. I'm hoping someone has a technique that works for them to get those thoughts out. So I can sleep well, and have the energy to keep on

Of course I'll accept advice about anything, and appreciate the time and everyone reading!

Thank you

To all who previously replied thank you - your encouragement and letting me know I'm not alone meant a lot.

I would also like to mention one individual offered to send a few dollars my way, and that's more than I could've ever hoped for. It helped me get some groceries and gas, so THANK YOU.

In reference to applying at 2000+ jobs and not being employed, I didn't mean to indicate I had NO response. I had many false starts, jobs where I went through multiple interview rounds, or jobs that just weren't feasible (i.e 100+ miles away on-site). Particularly, I keep finding situations where I'm contacted by a company, asked to do a phone interview, then when I reply (usually within a few hours if not immediately) to schedule a time they just ghost me.

I did take up the offers to look over my resume via DM, but no one replied funny enough.

On to mental health - I'm better than I was. I still feel utterly hopeless, but maybe a bit less so ya know? My thoughts are... Difficult at times, but I keep moving forward as best I can.

All this to say thank you. I got more response than I ever expected, and I appreciated every one and I read them all. I hope you all have a good day, and keep pushing forward.

Let me start. I previously resided in a north eastern US state, I had a good job, a good partner, a nice place to live. I thought I'd made it.

I started having medical problems, discovered I carry certain genes and such. Was having trouble getting them diagnosed, but such is life.

Then my good partner left me, I lost my job of a year and a half, and I thought a fresh start near family would be good. I decided to move cross country. Which I regret, I want to leave but now I don't have the resources so here I am.

I just can't seem to get a job, I've applied at over 2000 jobs in the last 6 months. My previous job was managing the entire technology infrastructure for an IT company. The one before that was the IT Manager for a small company. I have the experience, but I can't get a job.

Last night I swerved to avoid deer in the road, got stuck in the mud and had to get towed out. I'm flat broke, I can't get a job, I have nothing. I lost everything. And I don't see myself ever recovering it. I have the experience and skill to do at least mid and some high level IT work.

I desperately want a remote job because my car is not reliable, my partner got the good car sadly. I've certainly made mistakes, I've certainly failed. But I don't think I deserve this much pain and suffering. I have nothing, I've lost it all. I can't find a job. I don't dare look for a partner while I'm a dead broke loser, so I have no one to share with.

Anyways, I apologize for whining and crying, I know we're all going through things. But I have nowhere to vent and it just keeps getting worse and I honestly don't think I'll ever get out.

Love you all. Thanks for reading. Please think of me when you get a chance and send good vibes my way.
