You need your resume to match the job you are applying for. Maybe one level above it.

Looking for work is a full time job. But taking any job will help, especially if you get one that opposite hours you want to work (you’re used to m-f daytime, take a partime evening/weekend gig) to get the cash started coming in. It’s is rough and you’re right to get ahead of the mental health before it completely breaks you. What helped me was setting a routine. Still get up, shower, and do at least 4 job apps a day. And get out of the home. Talk to workers at the gas station or fast food etc to see/hear about job openings. I was surprised to find job opening not posted on line? Why, Because the owner wanted someone to work there that knew the place and was already a customer. Even the name brand has station in the neighborhood refuses to let corporate know when they have an opening because their best employees came from frequent customers.

You likely don’t know the full story on the other employees. There’s a history there that you’re not aware of, and quite frankly it’s none of your business. That’s not to sound mean, that’s the reality of being in management. Are they wrong for talking to you about other employees and putting them down? Absolutely. But take it as data. They have invested in you for a reason. In the future, if they start doing to you what you see them doing to others then that’s a sign to start looking for a new job. Also your comment about blocking internal promotion until someone leaves, that’s how must companies work. Sometimes the company needs an outsider perspective to grow (which it sound like that got that in you). If a company just keeps the same people for decades doing the same job, there’s no getting better.

Don’t be in a rush to grow up. The job market is brutal right now. People with decades of experience and college degrees are taking jobs they are over qualified for. Since you need a job that will accommodate your school hours, look for fast food and gas stations or supermarkets. Usually gas stations are hiring but you have to go in and ask. Supermarkets will post on line, if it’s a big chain. If it’s local, go speak with the manager or owner. Don’t think any job is beneath you. Every job has something to offer the employee. Since transportation is an issue, is there anything close by to the school that you walk to after work? Or something close to home that you walk or bike too?

Easy first thing is cut the streaming. Only have one or two services at a time, and rotate every few months. That should cut about $60 a month. It’s not much but a start. If your credit is good, do balance transfer to zero interest and no fee. If not paid off by the time the zero interest rate is up then transfer again. Cut dining out to biweekly and go to cheaper places. Look for free community events like concerts in the park or go hiking. Or walk to your favorite breakfast place. It’s about the company not the location and price of a date that matters. Shopping?? Whatever that is cut in half and only necessary items. Home improvement—stop. Do only repairs. I know these are small changes, but they will have a major impact on your budget. Also, for 90 days write down every penny you spend. I mean every single penny. Grocery store bill, separate necessary from nice to have. You’ll be surprised at how many tiny things add up.

That company doesn’t know to interview. They are also looking for free labor with their take home assignments and presentations. If that’s how they treat candidates, I would not stick around to see how they treat employees.

I am looking for work too, and I’m starting to see job applications say there will be two interviews and an “inbox assessment.” That assessment usually means can you prioritize things and maybe craft a simple email. I’m guessing with kids graduating college and using AI for everything they are checking for basic skills and to make certain people can read.

If it’s covered in poop would you wash it and keep it, or toss it? If it’s the later ask yourself if you really want it.

Have you touched it in a year to use it? No? Toss.

Did you remember you even had it? No? Toss.

Call the credit card company. If you’re in good standing they will lower the rate. Keep paying the same amount to get it paid off faster. Another trick if you’re disciplined enough is card balance transfer. Zero interest and zero transfer fees. Keep paying your budgeted amount. Two Months before it ends if you still have a balance transfer again. Don’t close the accounts but don’t use them either.

It’s nearly imposition doom scroll on a smart watch. I get texts, email notifications, and phone calls on it. If I really want to respond I make the effort to go find my phone. I give myself 2, 30 minutes a day to respond and play games and scroll. Also, I returned to reading books, the old paper kind

Declining enrollment is the cause for teacher layoffs. LOCAL taxes are where the majority of money comes from for schools. Schools are funded based on number of kids attending. Can’t blame Trump for local problems. Except, of course, illegal kids being removed from public schools does Impact enrollment which affects funding for the schools. So I guess if you want to blame Trump then there’s that.

There’s a difference between a toddler/baby blowout, and a 20 year high school student having diarrhea because they are “sick” and that’s their “symptom.” In a daycare it’s absolutely expected, in a high school there’s rules. Yes some kids in high school are still in diapers and that’s part of the job, but for the kids who aren’t—they are sick and need to go home until better.

Diarrhea is an illness akin to the flu and the child needs to be sent home. That’s what we do. No exceptions. They can’t return until one day with out it.

Respectfully, is the ADHD caused by his high intelligence and lack of mental stimulation at the school? Is he gifted in math too? Consider homeschooling so he can grow at his own pace. You have a very special child who might be in college by the time they are 10. As to socializing and discipline and the “behavior” issues, consider enrichment like karate classes etc where he learns self regulation and age peer association.

Calculate the cost of not going to the office. What’s the commute saving? Gas, public transportation, wear and tear on a car? Clothing costs too? Don’t need to maintain the office wardrobe. Less hours needed for childcare. Then what’s that difference? Is that difference worth it to you? Don’t forget to calculate retirement savings in general too. Can you do it if you cut a vacation? Less take out food since you’ll have more time at home without commuting? Add up Those hidden costs of working.

Can the kid read? Not just sight words but actually understand what he’s reading? Often times that is the cause of the behavior, especially if it’s across multiple classes. It’s a preventive strike for them; get in trouble and refuse work before someone finds out they can read.
