Doesn't make sense to stay in the same location if you cant find work.

Plus, you have to be competing with a bunch of immigrants down there so the competition is probably tight as fuck.

I went to Orlando a couple years back and was surprised at all the Hispanics (havent been down there in decades).

You have to move, bruh.

Bro if you have this experience you can easily be making 80k a year. Diversify your skills and PLC programming/Scada background and you should be set

Applying for any government work right now is probably a bad idea.

Not if it's local or state government work. I would start looking in my locality first. A lot of the local government jobs aren't on the indeeds.

You have to go to the webiste of the municipality you are considering working for. People don't realize that there are jobs in their towns that are needed from parks, schools, public works, public utilities, zoning, inspections even up to finance and administration. Most of these state or local municipality jobs you don't need a degree. And most of them don't have a lot of competition because for most state jobs they aren't recruiting nationally they are looking for local people to hire. Also because they are local you might know someone who would make the process a lot easier.

Obviously the smaller the town you are in the easier it is but the less money they will be paying. But once you have experience in a certain type of government work it's very specialized. I know people who are the town clerk for multiple towns.

It seems it's never gonna happen, think I'm too old and the old jobs are too bad.. HR person probably looks at me like

"What took you so long?"

I think I never to probably just go to a rural state and call it a day, i don't think I'll ever see a decent job here at all.

Think it's a wrap for me to be honest unless I find a way out of here.

Any homeless shelters? anyone renting a room?

I don't see it and I'm deep in depression and sadness, I don't know how much longer I can hold out before my heart just stop beating.

Degree did shit, CCNA did shit, A+ can't even get helpdesk... nothing works at all, maybe South Florida is too fucking crowded.. maybe like some snowy ass cac city will open a door.

Resume got shit like Mail Clerk and shit like that so I can see how the HR person sees it.

Going to be my last post for a while until something gives, either I get a job or just drop dead and no one knows.

Absolutely no one calls back, I applied for at least 250 jobs and NOTHING not one fucking offer.
small town IT depts are hiring.

My advice....... find a medium to large city and look at the surrounding suburbs and send every one of them a resume.

skip the Big companies because all they are doing is poaching talent from other big companies. shit goes round and round.

just about every time i go to a tech conference i learn about job opportunities just from networking.

you might have to relocate. But from the people I've talked to and judging from my linked-in account those small town shops are growing

some are even starting from scratch.

where to live in a shelter? I can go to snellville tomorrow and that's about 1 hour north of atlanta.

I can stay for a few days then come back over the weekend.

Either this guy has the worst luck ever, can’t make a good resume to save his life, or just trolling… I would want to give him the benefit of a doubt but it looks closer to number 3
I think it's just the jobs from back in the day, the security guard and mail clerk shit and then trying to flip the script older and get the degree which i did is what's killing it, they commend me for finishing at my age but they see not need to hire me at my age at that lower experience level,

not to mention I'm wesley snipes black and not in the best shape.
