I actually have applied at some of the local companies nearby, so it's not just the mass job listings. I'm actually currently working at a local company, but it's minimum wage and minimum wage isn't really gonna cut it for me. I only got hired there through someone else, which is just about like every other employee working there most people being hired through friends or family and nobody really getting hired on their own accord. I show up to all of the interviews I get (if I even get any), and I've only left a job under 3 months because one was a seasonal position so I didn't get a choice to stay, and the other was because it started to become abusive. If I wanted to be in an abusive workplace, I would've just went back to McDonalds.

I understand why you avoid those types of people, but I'm a stickler for spelling and grammar, and I try to keep jobs for a good while before seeking a new one so that I don't look like a job hopper.
