I want a job now. Okay, I've always wanted a job, but I need advice on job-hunting. (lemmygrad.ml)

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...

Fyi: when you post something on the Lemmyverse everyone from the other instances can also see it and chime it. Which means everyone can see both of your posts on lemmygrad and hexbear.

This doesn't apply to the instances named lemmy.world and maybe sh.itjust.works since they've decided to stop sharing due to the leftist views that the lemmyverse was created to support. (We can see them but not the other way around).

I'm bothering w any of this because I wish someone had told me; so I'm trying to pass it along and good luck w the new job search.
