I am an out of work programmer, for reasons (lack of money) I have returned to the US, I need about 4-5 paychecks to cover future costs. I'm asking for advice on landing a remote jobs. Any resume tips for increasing chances landing data entry or similar? I have some experience working warehouse / factory-floor, but not 'enough' to get hired. Is applying online better or should I go directly asking for those jobs?

I've heard ChatGPT can be used to polish your resume. I'd probably go with something like this:
- "here is my resume --- [RESUME] --- please make my resume better."
- "update my resume for this job description --- [paste job description]"
- "write a cover letter for this job description".
Interesting.
I'd do it out of boredom, I'm gonna try and polish this turd by hand a bit and try it later.
I find job applications is a volume business. The main thing is to just apply for loads of jobs until you get one
Lie on your resume and practice/study interviewing, I did that my entire life and got lots of offers despite not knowing much about how to do the actual job
DM me your anonymized resume and I can review it and give suggestions

Amazon I believe is almost always hiring in the warehouse cause it sucks and people are always leaving
You might have to settle for an in office job if you're able to do it. I don't know how in touch you are with the US job culture now but companies are forcing people to come into the office again
Make shit up on the fly.

Get hired.
Edit: I'm polishing my CV right now. I wouldn't mind an office job, actually. I'll send you one in a bit TY.
Do not work at Amazon unless you're willing to hate existence for however long you need to work there.
hate existence for however long you need
good thing i never got ahead of myself and did such a thing
Sounds good
If you're okay with revealing your identity to me, I can also refer you to my workplace after we polish up your resume and I confirm there are openings that fit your experience/skills
Does it need to be strictly programming related? I’ve seen listings for customer service (as well as help desk ones) and contracted “expert advice” places.
If you dont need the health insurance, go the consultant route. Theyre frequently remote arrangements and best of all, if they had someone on staff who could challenge/test your claim to competency, they wouldnt need you as a consultant in the first place.
: "Just start your own business, bro. You're not supposed to live off of labor anymore."Do you have any formal experience programming? I think you should focus on programming jobs, “data entry or similar” sounds like half or less the pay unfortunately and since you already have experience why not
Not sure where you're located, but the library system where I'm at has job counselors who will work with you on this kind of stuff if you need it. Maybe yours does as well? I'd give you personal advice, but you probably shouldn't listen to me on this specific topic.
