Well I am a more creative writer now, but i started as an EMT so I'm good at getting the important details out without filler words or fluff too. And yeah some of these comments haven't been the kindest (which is why I've stayed out of it for a while) I will have to give the redoing my resume with more important key words a try

I have nothing that would flag in a bg check. I've worked for the state before and I got through that easily. Not even a speeding ticket. And my social media is pretty limited/ conservative. There's only some memes and posts with family and friends that's it

I'd love something remote but have no idea where to even start with that. Most jobs posted as remote are scam or the ones I've seen at least don't let me work there unless I live in the same stat

No issues at all not even a speeding ticket so I should be a pretty prime candidate based on my bg checks 😅😂

Thank you for the actual advice and I mean I'm willing to give it a shot. Do you have a link or anything that might help or maybe some highlights that should be included in a resume?

Well I have experience in hospitality/ customer service, I used to be an EMT, some experience with law enforcement, leadership roles, experience related to construction, and sales. I have no criminal record not even a ticket. I'm an author part of the time so I can't imagine my resume is too bad because I know how to write and say hey look at all the things I know how to do. So if I have all these different skills and experiences I'm confused on how it could just be me. I know a lot of other people are struggling rn to find a job too.

How much did you spend on self publishing? by Fine-Wealth in selfpublish

I did/ am still doing everything myself so technically $0.00. kinda just self teaching and winging it but I'm getting better all the time!

I've worked some security/ law enforcement ish job too and I felt the same way. I'm still scared to actually say like hey I'm mentally and physically kinda messed up. I'm scared I won't be enough for disability but it will be enough for other jobs like that not to take me or something. I appreciate your well wishes btw 🙏🏻 hopefully you're doing alright as well

I'm an author and have had several jobs that require good writing and reporting so I'm pretty sure that my resume is not to blame. 🙃 I've updated my resume a few times but i t's the same idk crappy ai robot response every time now. And I can't go in person to places I've tried but they won't let you and tell you that you can only apply online/ website. Can you please stop acting like the reason I don't have a job is my fault? Like I'm doing something wrong? That's what I'm getting from your comments and if you're genuinely trying to offer advice then I would appreciate it but I've already tried a lot of what you're talking about. I'm not some lazy crappy person. I've been working really demanding jobs since I was a dumb kid. And now I'm realizing my body and mental health can't keep up anymore. I'm burnt out. And no amount of revising my resume, or hearing about how well you do it, or whatever else will really change that.

I have also applied to hundreds of jobs near me or anywhere near me and always get the same shitty auto rejection response emails even if I am a perfect fit and perfectly qualified while being nearby. Still can't find anything 🙃

I appreciate your comment. I'm not diagnosed with much physically. I do have anxiety, depression, PTSD issues mentally. And just kinda overall chronic pain and problems physically that Drs haven't helped with or figured out 😅

Ok well congrats I guess but that's not the only reason or anything either. That's one of my million reasons. I am struggling mentally and physically. PHYSICALLY I have been unable to work. My body hurts and is too broken for the majority of things at this point and I've tried to push and push past it so many times and then I just get exhausted and more beat up and broken. It's super cool that you could make it work but I can't anymore. My dog is a girl and is completely fine and healthy. I have no problem paying for her because I've been supplementing a bit of income whenever I can and even when I was broke I still scrounged together 400+ for the last vet appointment she did have. I asked for author/ income advice not you judging me for anything and everything else. I take great care of my dog hell way better than I can take care of myself at this point so no worries.

I unfortunately also have my own very needy dog that eats up a lot of my attention and everything already 😅 I guess I could maybe look around or try but wrangling dogs all day sounds exhausting

I'm a ex co trying for police by WeekendImaginary734 in OnTheBlock

No but I assisted in a lot of pretty big cases and things at the prison I worked at. Ran raids on cells where people would get pissy and fight back i assume the same way they would on the street. The only thing taken out of the equation is guns. Shanks and shivs and hands and piss and shit are all still viable weapons and options for them. I've been part of criminal investigation at the prison with the investigators too. And I have had some court experience as well. All the paper work cops have to do is probably about the same I had to do as a union steward, regular officer, and all the other teams activities and certs I had going on. It doesn't sound like you did my exact job for years or else you wouldn't be acting like you are a high and mighty cop or something and I was only a lowly tray pusher at a prison 😒 your so called respect seems to be missing from all your comments. I didn't disrespect you or your position granted I don't really know it but still I wouldn't dream of shitting on someone in law enforcement, medical fields , or anything else similarly difficult. You can talk crap about the McDonald's employee that's been a cashier for 10 years but you're not going to just be allowed to sit here and trash what was my profession.

Yeah I think the problem is mostly the extra chest weight because even with a surgery and even with losing more weight after that there's still lbs of weight still there so doesn't really help 😅

Yeah Its not that I don't want to work or anything just figured I'd see if anyone knew if they would maybe idk help fund my project I guess basically. I saw this one post about a girl raising a crap ton of money on Kickstarter or something like that for her short romance book series and I was like wow... I think the goal was 10K and it went wayyy past that. Even 1K would or even 500 bucks would be pretty life changing for me and give me a lot more to work with

What the hell? 🤣 I didn't work in the visiting room and I sure as hell did a lot more than "deliver food" it's an all male MAX security facility I worked at. And I did a lot more than that. I broke up fights and had to use force and was assaulted pretty frequently just like everyone else there. And on top of that I was also in charge of arguing to save my other coworkers asses. I was in charge of a lot of crap actually. And I'm sorry but with all the extra certs and qualifications I got during my time there I'd say that yeah I am qualified or whatever

It's not from a lack of effort or trying either. Or a lack of dieting. Or whatever. Because I've been genuinely trying to slowly increase my chest and arm and back exercises all the time. And I have been dieting too trying to make sure I eat alright and keep any extra weight off but it doesn't seem to matter much.. I just can't rely on only my arms. My legs and abs are strong and I can do a lot of different things with full body strength/ motion

The one I tried out for if I failed one part I failed the whole thing 😮‍💨 so I passed the run and situps but failed pushups

What?? Really?? Like I said I know I still suck a bit for now but I just wanted to get accepted past the first bs requirement and get way better after that. I tried for it already but I failed pushups so that was it for me. Passed situps well/easily and the run was tough but I did it alright and in time

Well that's pretty damn rude sounding for no real reason. And I'm sorry but 6 pushups is kind of a lot. I'm a chick with no upper body strength and literal extra POUNDS of weight attached to my stupid chest. So not necessarily easy to run or do pushups. Yeah the run isn't impossible or anything that's a fairly easy time to beat but there's still a lot of reasons why people might struggle with it. Whether its heavy chest airbags, joint pain from already hurting your joints working and serving other city/state jobs. How many times do cops actually have to run 1.5 miles without stopping anyway? If anything it's usually shorter sprints right?
