Job hunt update : still unemployed
2 years ago
Hey there everyone hope you all are doing well. Wanted to give everyone that follows me here a bit of an update how things are going. As with my previous post I was fired back in October on the 16th. It wasn’t because of my performance or how I did the job it was just the economics of it. The funeral home I worked at wasn’t making as much money so they decided to cut staff. What was a kick to the gut was the offered a reduced paycheck with no paid time off added didn’t offer to let me work till the end of the pay period and while I was upset and in a emotional state they offered some money to help but only if o resigned. Come to find out that’s illegal here. So I’m in talks with a lawyer about that but as of yet I’ve not heard anything back. I’m still out on the look out for work and been applying to jobs I felt would fit my qualifications and within my abilities. Several offers declined to move me forward. I truly hate these impersonal digital interviews and it just feels some of these assessments make no damn sense to the job they are about nor when it’s something that’s entry level their asks for 7 to 10 years experience. Never seen such ludicrous gatekeeping.
I’ve had a few in person interviews the night embalmer one I’m a bit skeptical on now. I interviewed them two weeks ago and called twice asking to speak to the manager I met with and I’m just getting ghosted. I’ll try one more time then I’ll cross them out for just being a shit company if they can’t simply tell me they’re looking elsewhere. The few swimming pool companies I’ve looked at feel promising but this is this industry’s down time so I might not find anything before my savings run out. I’m asking folks if they can to please help me out. Every little bit helps and I just want to get back to work. https://ko-fi.com/acroth

to hire but also possible to find some seasonal temp work, even if it's shit work, a lot of retail and logistics need temp employees to get through the holiday season and would get you by until you find a better job and if you walk on that job, not gonna hurt
