hey so, i'm a transfemme, i have trouble getting work on a good day. It's july, and I need any financial help that can be spared. I've been out of work a while. I get interviews, at a rate of about 2 a month, with daily applications over several apps and honest to got footwork and old school physical applications.

It has never been this hard to get a job, my physical body hasn't changed, my demeanor is what it always has been, but these interviews go nowhere. There is never followup. I am never selected to move forward.

It's extremely demoralizing, and I've more or less exhausted the good will (and economic ability) of my family and friends after needing help for this long. I'm embarassed. Capitalism expects us to work, and I'm even willing, but the work isn't coming and I guess to most people it starts to seem like a personal issue. Maybe it is? But I'm genuinely trying everything I can, and I'm still on the fucking precipice.

phone is $80, i need at least $50 on electric, but the entire bill is $300 rn. I can go without cable, but that's another $100 to keep on

If you can help, it would mean a lot. I can't reasonably expect anything, but I have to try.

venmo is @ktkatte, pm me for any other apps

Thanks for anything. Love you all.

I can't remember if you DM'd me about it, but im in a similar boat - I found some gig work doing AI responses ratings that pays weekly and is keeping me afloat while I look for more substantial work. If you want a referral holler at me!

you did! I shot them an application, but heard nothing back

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Right on. Unfortunately, I don't really have anything else I can do on that front. Hope you're able to find something soon!

I think they changed the rules of the comm and you're not allowed to put your payment info in the post, people have to DM you. I don't want your post to get removed ☹️ I'm really sorry about your situation and wish I could help.

This seems like the "normal" state of things and it continues to shock me that there hasn't been a revolution in every Anglo country yet. Sorry, I know that doesn't help, I just need to express how baffling it is the degree with which angloids will defend orphan grinding while their fellows are fucking starving in a nonfunctional house
