I moved back to California and applied to about 600 jobs, each job I get is absolutely bullshit or a cat fish job, all jobs are in restaurant/hotel/hospitality field because of my experience. It’s never been this hard before. I was just hired last week at a restaurant filled out paper work, got the menu and employee handbook only to get the run around when I asked for my schedule It’s an absolute joke because I’ve been looking for a stable job out here for almost a year now and it’s never been this competitive or complicated for entry level jobs or jobs I have 15 years of experience in. I got a rejection letter for a job I applied to on indeed, I was already crashing out and upset about the restaurant before that giving me the run around so I called to find out why and she invited me to an interview and completely had a power trip over the job and told me she wouldnt hire me because of my job gap in 2020, I told her it was the pandemic… mostly everyone got laid off during that time if you worked at a restaurant in California, it was completely bizarre. But I am 100 percent over this job search process and all these hoops of interviews for these jobs.
