I Keep Getting Led On by Jobs

So I live in a really small town, and the last year has been hard up for work. My fiance is basically keeping us both alive, and I haven't been able to get a job, and not for a lack of trying. I've applied everywhere, and I've only gotten a few offers. The first one was working for Coca-Cola as a merchandiser. I went through the entire process, got the job, and was just waiting for them to give me my on-boarding location so I could go do paperwork. And then, no shit, the recruiter I was working with just ghosted me. He straight up ignored my calls and didn't even read my texts. And then, later on, I was hired to be the shift manager at a new gas station, only to get a call THE DAY BEFORE TRAINING STARTS that I no longer being hired. No reason was…


So I live in a really small town, and the last year has been hard up for work. My fiance is basically keeping us both alive, and I haven't been able to get a job, and not for a lack of trying. I've applied everywhere, and I've only gotten a few offers. The first one was working for Coca-Cola as a merchandiser. I went through the entire process, got the job, and was just waiting for them to give me my on-boarding location so I could go do paperwork. And then, no shit, the recruiter I was working with just ghosted me. He straight up ignored my calls and didn't even read my texts. And then, later on, I was hired to be the shift manager at a new gas station, only to get a call THE DAY BEFORE TRAINING STARTS that I no longer being hired. No reason was given. And that brings us to today. I was offered a job working for a nearby towns new public transit company. Only to get a call that the insurance won't cover me, after a full week of waiting for the call. I've been trying so fucking hard, and I just took out a loan on a new car, so that I could get to work. Fuckin stupid of me to get a car before hand, I know, but I wouldn't have been even offered the job if I didn't have the car. I was relying on this job, only to have the other foot drop on me again. I don't know what to do. It seems like every time I have an opportunity to finally have some kind of money, it fucking goes away. I'm desperately searching for jobs now, because I have to have the money for my car payments before April, when my first payment is due. But after a year of nothing, my hope of finding a decent job within the next month is extremely thin.
