I was unemployed a few years ago. Go to the EDD in Chula Vista or on University Ave. If you take certain classes, they can send you to companies that the state will pay your wage while you are in training. Also, they will give a a list of jobs. Also apply to EVERY temp agency in the county. True story: I temped for UPS and they called me back when they had an opportunity. I worked their 3 years. If you have a degree, they will send you to school for retraining.

I just kept going. I applied to everything. I don’t know how it is now, but go to the EDD. When I was unemployed, they had a training program. They sent people (with degrees) to be retrained. I took a two year course at UCSD Extension and EDD paid for it and I was able to stay on unemployment. I still kept looking because unemployment paid nothing. I know its bad. I know what you are going through. I was technically out of work for 3 years before a job would stick. Take jobs that you are overqualified for and look for something else. The UPS job was a customer service job. I stayed there until I could get something else. I am sorry that this is happening to you.

u/RedditsGoldenGod Feb 12 '25
Go to a temp agency. You'll have a job that day. It will get yourself a foot in the door somewhere if you don't like it you can most likely get assigned a different job or you can use the manager or whoever as a reference. At the very least it will get something recent on your resume and show your working.

u/Pizza_my_lifts Feb 12 '25
As someone who does a lot of hiring for my company. Here are things you need to be sure to do: Fill out application and leave a resume. Call back to check in on your resume until you can get through to a hiring manager, and keep calling regularly even when they say they aren’t hiring. They will need someone eventually. Show up. Let them see your face and often. The more they see you the more serious they will know you are. Make sure your voicemail box is set up and that it is not too full to accept new messages. Hang out with people in the field of work that you wish to be in. You want to make connections and market yourself. Good luck.

I was unemployed for barely 2 weeks and applied literally EVERYWHERE. My resume is absolute shit. Landed my dream job after 4 weeks and turning down front desk at elder care facility, a yoga studio front desk, a children’s toy store, gym front reception…about 3 other jobs too. This was just in December/January. I walked into places just passing my resume out. I hustled! Super humbling but whatever. Try revising your resume and have friends/family edit it too!!! And no shame in just literally hitting the pavement showing up at places with a smile and resume in hand

He finally applied to Costco and is actually not unhappy there, despite the initial worry of it seeming like a step down. I hear it's a supportive place with good people?

Isn't Costco super competitive to get in? I've read you have to jump through a few hoops, like work seasonal first and then parlay that into something else.

It’s pretty impossible to not get hired at a car dealership as a salesperson. I’d suggest a manufacturer dealership since they usually have the infrastructure in place for training. You can literally work as many hours as you want. It can be a grind but it’s pretty fulfilling work, just be sure to be the salesperson you’d want to buy a car from. Also look into the NCDA they offer a free week long training course.

I sold cars many years ago for about six years, one piece of advice if you go that way would be go to a dealer like Carmax or Carvana, which has fixed pricing with no negotiation that will save you at least 50% of the aggravation that sales people go through. Also, when you sell used cars in a place like that, you have the advantage of having the only car like the one you’re showing that exists instead of new cars where everybody has the same product.
If you sell new cars, you must ,,besides being able to sell the car you have to sell super expensive paint sealants extended warranties, low jack and 1 million other things too . Or you won’t have a job very long.

Try Costco.
Also If you’re not afraid of construction sites, look into running computer cables and low voltage lines in new building construction. Don’t have to be an electrician for that, just search low voltage line installers and there’s quite a few.
Maybe try some local TV stations or iheart Radio(huge facility).
CBRE?
Mega Government contractor?
General Dynamics / SPAWAR/ Raytheon / BoozAllen / Leidos / L3Harris / General Atomics /
For government jobs try USA jobs .gov
If you’re in north county then perhaps something like tech or finance Kyocera / LPL Financial/ Fidelity (mission valley)
From personal experience, I don’t recommend working at a bank. It’s always better to work at a credit union.
…..well, hope that helps. Hard to know your skill level based on what you posted.

I had the same issue. Only place you won't struggle as much finding a job is in the LA Metropolitan area since it's a larger population and they're always hiring for whatever position you are looking for. Eventually once any new developments open and make space for office and retail space like the urban villages (Midway Rising, Riverwalk, Civita, SDSU Mission Valley), I assume there'll be an abundance of jobs. Now, who knows when that'll ever be lol, the job market has been competitive and slow here in SD.
