I am living with my janky family in a trashy ass conservative city (a little bit of liberalism lurks around). I attempted to apply for a job twice and got ghosted both times. And I am very limited with buying shit for myself because I have very little money. And there is no active Marxist organizations in my city that I know of. I don’t know how to get money and I don’t know what to do at all.
My goto advice to find yourself: control your sleep, make some exercise, learn meditation, and find stuff to read. Avoid algorithmic feeds like the plague.
Once you find your center, go find community social activities (even if that’s church), make a routine around them, and listen to the people, and their issues. Offer a counterpoint where it makes sense.
Organising is about being mentally and physically ready, understanding the needs of people around you, and committing to solve some of these problems.
These assume you don’t have immediate shelter, food, safety needs, which doesn’t sound you do. So… Hope it makes sense, good luck!
And yeah, job hunting is a numbers game. For every 1000 applications, 10 interviews, 1 offer, on a good run.
Unfortunately, you’re likely to need to apply to a lot more jobs before you expect a callback. Where have you looked so far? Are you an able bodied? If you really really need money, day labor sucks ass but at least around here it pays at the end of the day every day.
Temp agencies might be another option.
Get a significant other and mooch off of them instead. If two job applications was too hard then idk what to tell you.
One thing i can say is that its harder to start applying for jobs than it is to stop. So continue applying for multiple places past the point of being bored. Try going to indeed.com and applying for jobs there.
If you need money now, then apply at a temp agency. They will hire you and yoy can work there while you apply for other jobs. The pay can be very good but the work is temporary.
