Hey everyone kindof a loser here. I'm in my late 20s and I've only ever worked as a dishwasher and in the years 2018 and 2019 I hardly worked more than 4 or 5 months. When covid hit I was really nervous about leaving my house but now months later if I don't leave my house I'm going to blow my brains out, fortunately I have $0 in my bank account so I can't afford a gun. Wondering if anyone has advice, on job hunting that is not suicide, I think I can manage that by myself

    My advice for applying for jobs is don't be afraid to outright lie about your skills if you think you can get away with it. I mean this. I've gotten my best jobs by lying through my teeth. Obviously don't lie about being a surgeon if you are not but definitely lie about having years of experience with software you've maybe worked with for 5 minutes once in your life. That kind of shit.

      I got my current job this way. I’ve operated an excavator for maybe a total of 50 hours, but lied and said I did it all the time at my last job, done precision work, etc. now I’m making pretty damn good money, with okay benefits. And it’s not that hard.

        Fuck yeah, exactly. Worst that happens is they fire you like a week after you get hired but in my experience lies like that are rarely discovered and you either sink or swim.
