hi everyone so I didn't know where else to go to ask for job hunting tips (if anyone knows of a thread that I should post in that is more thorough than this one, though, please let me know!)
so I've been looking for a job since August this year and I've applied to at least 80+ jobs and have not gotten a call back for ANY of them.
The majority of jobs that are available in my city, sadly, are distribution center jobs (amazon, wayfarer, etc) and after a week at Amazon, I just couldn't do it. Those people do not care about you and it's back-breaking work, plus people come down with covid like crazy there. Right now I actually have a Ross distribution center calling and texting me like crazy trying to get me to work there and I didn't even apply there. Just to give you a clear picture of what the job market is typically like here in the Inland Empire.
Anyway, I really would prefer a retail job but I get denied constantly by them. I have 3 AA degrees and an English degree from UC Berkeley (plus currently working on a second major in Film). I recently read a thread on Twitter the other day that it's best to lie (or just redact any current information on your school journey). This is apparently because retail jobs are looking for someone they can hire and keep long term. Not someone who is over-qualified and probably looking for a more long-term type of job. Yet, these retail hiring managers have to know there are NO good long term jobs in this area (which is why so many people who live in the Inland Empire end up traveling to LA for somewhat meaningful employment).
So, I am just confused as to WHY I haven't happened to just get ONE job (that's not at a distribution center!!)? I've worked 3 years as a college writing tutor, as an office assistant for a program in my college, and also done Producer assistant jobs on music videos all in the past 4 years. My resume is not a blank slate– are there any retail hiring managers out there that know what's up? Is this an impact due to Covid? But it's not like these places aren't hiring. I spent every single day last week calling Home Goods to finally get ahold of the hiring manager to ask about the status of my application (I do this for every job I apply to a week after applying) and he said they REALLY needed someone to do the 5am shift. I knew those hours would be hell but I still said I was available and that those hours worked "best for me" (a big 'ol lie I'm just desperate at this point) and I just found out that the position was filled.
Are there any tips anyone can share in trying to get a retail job? Especially in a distribution center dystopia? Should I only put my community college associate degrees down?
