What experience and education do you have?

What jobs are you applying to?

You say you can't get in any field. I wonder if you might be making a mistake. You need to be looking for jobs that are in your skillset/experience/education level.

I'll never get a job as a nurse, no matter how hard I apply, because I don't have a nursing license.


Of course if you don't have that cookie cutter linear corporate career history you won't find a job either. Haven't you heard that many companies refuse to hire people who are unemployed (even if they don't say so). I have also applied for jobs in my skillset/experience/education but keep getting rejected either because of a bad work history or bad credit.

How can one turn chicken s**t into chicken salad?? meaning how do you 'improve' an awful work history short of seriously lying?

@TheValk: What is a CV?

In the US a CV is called a Resume.

@Cathylynn: I have SSI but it goes to my conservator mom. I never see a red cent.

I am applying for entry level retail and food service.

I have no hope, and I am learning to write cardboard signs.
