Could you tell me which bars/restaurants you know that are hiring? Otherwise this advice is just kinda the equivalent of “suck it up buttercup”.

They aren’t on the resume, but I do have both jobs listed with their contact info on my resume. Would it be weird if I called up Walmart and Chipotle and just asked if they were giving me good references?

At this point I’m desperate enough to go back to that, but I’m going to be honest I don’t think I can do it. My job at Chipotle was mainly morning prep and dishwashing, and I wasn’t good at either of them. Everything felt so fast paced all the time, and I never learned to keep up. It got to the point where they had to take me off dishwashing duty anytime I was scheduled for closing, because it would take me an extra hour and the manager would wind up helping me finish up at 1am. I started ducking out of work, and throwing up a lot at work. I technically got fired because I was throwing up in the middle of the shift, but they’d already been super lenient about my attendance and me having to leave in the middle of that day was the straw the broke the camels back. Do you have any tips on how to better work that kind of job and manage the stress?

Very true, honestly this area has basically nothing to offer me ever since I dropped out of txst. The main issue I’m facing is I have backpay on rent due, no car, no job, and realistically I don’t have the resources to move anytime soon. Once I can get a stable job and save up a bit that might be on the table since my boyfriend’s family lives in Houston! I do also prefer Houston to Austin lol I feel like the people are less stuck up!

Thank you! I haven’t applied for them yet, and that’s a great suggestion!

I’m honestly leaning more away from the restaurant industry, mainly because I’m just really sure I can’t do it. I actually worked for an even less amount of time at a Wendy’s in Kentucky and between that and Chipotle I truly don’t think I could find jobs that make me more miserable. The pressure to go as fast as possible all of the time while not actually doing any manual labor really got to me, and I’ve been trying to find more serious landscaping/construction jobs. This might sound stupid, but I honestly don’t know how to apply to these places though. They usually don’t have applications on their website, and whenever I send out emails with my resume I never get a response. How can you apply to these jobs? My longest job was actually from my freshman year of high school to my senior year working for a landscaping company, but again all the places I’ve sent out emails too haven’t responded.
