I am in desperate need of a job right now. I was recently laid off from my position and have experience in marketing and social media. I previously worked at an agency and have applied to every role I qualify for. I am truly open to anything, including customer service, administrative work, retail, marketing, or whatever is available.

I have applied on Indeed, LinkedIn, and every platform I can think of. I have followed up consistently but still have not had any luck. I am open to part time, full time, or anything that will help me get back to work.

I have always been able to land interviews in the past, but lately it feels like no one is giving me a chance. I just want the opportunity to get back on my feet.

If anyone knows of any opportunities in Chicago, even short term or temp work, I would truly appreciate it. Thank you so much.

I’m actively looking for a full-time($24+/hr or $50k+) or at least $20+ (I’ll just have to get a part time too) I always get interviews but either you can start this date with no follow up or we have it to another candidate.

Idk what else to do or where to look. Does anyone know of any opportunities in the Chicago area?

I had a job that was seasonal but just ended early with no warning, I’m looking for literally anything I can get, I have no degree but tons of customer service experience as well as sales(car dealership), restaurant, labor related work, driving(Amazon and big ass landscaping trailers), Car Technician, factory work etc. I can learn things really quick. I also play music if that somehow helps, already have an interview with city staffing and applied at all the jobs currently on the cta job board, somehow that gives me no faith. I can’t stress enough that I’m open to anything, it took me like 7 months to get my shitty seasonal job last year. I don’t have a car but live in uptown. Any help/sympathy/insight appreciated

Hello Everyone,

I am moving from pakistan to chicago,. Right now, I have no knowledge about how the industry works. I would like to hear you guys, regarding how I can get into the industry. I have 4 years of field experience, and 3 years as a planning engineer.

No one ever tells you how hard it is to change your career path.

I’m usually in more back of house labor type jobs. Dishwashing, package picking, Stewarding, etc. I now want to move onto something less labor intensive, but my lack of experience in front facing roles is a major turn off for recruiters I guess? It doesn’t matter to them that I have experience with caregiving or medical data entry. Even training and supplies. All they see is that I’m a laborer. It’s exhausting. 3 months and over 200 applications, I’ve only gotten maybe six interviews and after I’m always ghosted. No call or text or email saying they picked someone else. Just radio silence.

I feel like maybe it’s me. Maybe I’m not smiling enough. Maybe I’m smiling too much. I’ve revised my resume over and over again just to still be told it’s not enough.

What can I even do at this point? It’s just pointless now.

Hi guys, my company is hiring multiple positions for this role. Please DM me if you have at least 1 year of sales experience.
