I'm freaking losing it - how do you find work? (hexbear.net)

Got a string of rejections for my applications on Indeed.

I live in the US and I haven't landed an interview since last year.

I'm working on my resume now, but if there are any tips on where to look, or services that might help connect me with work, I'm all ears.

I've got a graduate education and I'm considering omitting that information as I apply to entry level positions. What kind of sick joke is it that someone can be overqualified for a job?

Also if you want to commiserate and say work sucks in different ways, that's cool too.

I worked in tech for a decade before losing my last job 2 years ago.

By dumb luck, my partner knows that I say "fuck the tech sector, its got the worst people in it and serves mobody." She stumbled across a job with an anti-homelessness org in my city and passed it along.

Its a one year contract through Americorps - tons of others on the site have worked with them, and the application to hire process took 4 days (applied on monday, accepted the offer Thursday).

Straight up, the pay is trash because nonprofits, but im able to make it work. Might be worth checking out Americorps and seeing what they have in your area!

Hey, trash pay is better than no pay. Thanks!
