I had a phone interview with a company that sells cosmetics. During the interview the lady asked me what my age was and if I had any children. From my understanding, these questions aren't supposed to be asked?? I didn't disclose anything with her but instead asked her if this had any relevance to the position I was being interviewed for (which is front desk receptionist) especially the question concerning my age. She told me that they have employees from all ages and whatnot but I still felt kinda weird about it. She then continues to ask me if I'm used to being on my feet bc as at their company they believe in having fast access to the customer so they don't have any chairs available for the receptionist.

First time posting here and looking for some advice! I’ve been working for a cannabis distribution company in California as a driver close to 5 years and for the past month I haven’t been going to work since I started a new job in sales with a more promising future.

Pretty simple concept. Don't fuck up like me and quit. I was trying to find a replacement job from the one that was hiring people at a higher rate thane and then making me train them with no discussion of a raise. Working and interviewing can be difficult and after a year of trying to squeeze in interviews or work last minute phone interviews was just exhausting. I put in my two weeks and thought it would make things easier. Wrong, first question is why did you leave? No matter the quality answer given I've been shut out. My advice, fuck your old job, but use them until you have something better. I had sick time and should have just called out to make it to interviews.

Long story short the market is bad, we all know that. What can we do to stand out and get a wfh job, any advice is welcome. Applied to 100+ so many denials.
