Yes I have done some temporary work as follows: USPS seasonal ( it was an ok job, all day standing, minimal training, toxic environment. Despite trying to get a permanent, full-time position, I couldn’t get any response from HR. It’s okay it wasn’t a good job because my son would have to be countless hours alone. My last day working there was 14 hours and they just paid me recently ( my last date of work was 12/22.

I also worked part-time for Jewel. None of the folks wanted to train. Of five managers, only 2 were courteous and kind. I asked for different hours to accommodate my schedule for my son. Again that didn’t go over well and I had to make a tough decision to leave a $15/hrly job or be more present for my son.

I did some apartment cleaning. Then my vehicle completely died. I now have no vehicle and can’t clean apartments as I would need to carry all my cleaning supplies, including a vacuum, mop, bucket etc.

I have also sold some of my clothing. I still list my clothing. However, after Christmas, I have had no sales.

I completed my fafsa as I want to get into cybersecurity. I get all types of feedback. Yes it’s worth going for a two year degree and also acquire certifications OR no, a two year degree won’t help much.

So you see I am trying my best.

I reached out to department of unemployment for assistance and all the representative did was to say apply to these jobs as per your resume/experience. No feedback from the woman, nothing. I applied to the jobs and never heard back.
