I need advice, suggestions. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE
I am currently living in Florida. With my parents unfortunately. π I quit my job back in December of 2025, due to a very toxic work environment. Thinking
I could manage to get another job in the same field. I have a decade of automotive experience.
That was not the case. It is now May and I have yet to find anything. I have applied to positions where I over and under qualify for and everything in between. I've applied for receptionists jobs, admin, data entry, customer service roles, checking reddit posts daily for jobs, entry level remote roles, and nothing seems to be working. I've tailored my resume, even lied on it to see what would happen and still not one job offer. I'm at my wits end. Not to mention since I have no income, my credit took the biggest hit. My DL expired about three months ago, and since it costs dinero to replace it, so anything like Doordash won't help because of an expired DL. π Can't even do that
The cherry on top of all this mess, is that my boomer and gen x parents, don't seem to understand why the job market is shit right now. Due to our lovely administration. They are treating me like I'm being lazy POS, yet have no idea that I've applied to hundreds, if not thousands, of jobs by now.
All while, I'm trying to leave the state of Florida since it is astronomically expensive to live here. I don't know what to do anymore....Really thinking of ending it all, if you catch my drift. Haven't really thought of a way, only because my dog is the only one that's tethering me to this physical realm.
So with all that said, any advice, guidance, or helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Any job openings in South Florida or remote jobs would help. Or any relocation services/resources would be appreciated. I have a dog that I'm taking with me as well, for those wondering.
Thank you all
