I can’t get a job that’s pays a college education wage

I am at my wits end. I am depressed. I don't know what I even seek to gain by posting this here but I'm beyond upset. I spend hours a day applying to jobs on indeed getting automated rejection letters in my e-mail inbox. I don't have a ton of experience but I work hard. I can't find work that isn't minimum wage practically. My GF just got a job $26/hr with no college education just her past experience. What is the point of college if experience trumps it 10000%? Does anyone have any advice

resume building

I highly recommend lying on resumes. I think as a community we could help each other make mundane situations sound very strong on a resume. How would you word “I own one share of the Greenway packers a resume”?

Worked, didn’t get paid, can’t find company contact info anywhere.

Hey! I worked for a place called webhelp americas for a few days in April, and ended up leaving after a few days because they wouldn't work with my disabilty/doctors appointments, which isn't really the point, i just wanna complain about them a bit lmao. The point is they owe me a few hundred $ and while I was too depressed to deal with it before, now i'm too broke not to deal with it. I cant find any information on how to contact them at all. I called trinet, who manages their payroll, but they just referred me back to the company (who i don't have contact info for). I don't just want to show up to the building I used to work at, that sounds like a terrible idea. I may have access to student legal services, but I don't know if they'll even be able to help…

Your Favorite Martian’s new song “Eff This Job” perfectly sums up how I felt about my first food service job at a pizza place.

Interviewer ignored my emails after I had to cancel

I applied to a shooting range to be a Range Safety Officer, as I have extensive firearm knowledge, military experience, and 5+ years of retail and security-related work experience. The first interview went very well, and the interviewer wanted me to come in at a later date to do a second interview with someone else. We scheduled the interview a few days after the first one. The day came and I received news that my best friend committed suicide THAT day, so obviously I wasn’t going to be able to come in for the interview. I emailed the interviewer explaining what happened, and they said I could email them back whenever I felt ready to come in. I emailed like, 2 days later, and I got no response. I tried emailing again 2 days after that, again, no response. I then looked on their website and saw that the position…

I hate when my boss posts something she wants me to correct in the Teams group chat

She doesn’t reach out to people individually to say, “hey can you do this in the future instead?”. It’s always a nameless public shaming. Anyone else’s boss do this too?

Work cutting hours

So my job has been having issues with hours and having too many people. So they’re solution was to either cut some shifts or cut hours so there won’t be scheduling issues through the slower season. So that means my schedule since I maintain a lot of clients is staying the same. However if you don’t prebook a lot of client your in more danger. For me though that dos mean I’m being cut hours each check. I don’t even do 80 hours for 2 weeks. I’ve asked for more hours, but I do 68 cause the standard is a 6 hour shift. I don’t know if I’m overreacting by now looking for a new job or if I’m just justified. I’ve never really had issues with my job aside from them taking away commission and shifty raises.
