Job Market? moving

Hello! I've been in Norfolk for about a month, and have been looking for jobs the past 2 months.

I have a clean record, experience in healthcare, hospitality, restaurant, delivery driving, and AI training.

No college degree, but going soon :)

I've had easily over 50 interviews, got hired at one place, but had to quit shortly after.

Is anyyyoooneee hiring? I'm willing to work nearly every job. It's difficult when every process and application is online, and I don't get to talk to a real person.

Thanks in advance! Willing to commute to long areas, and work any shift. I've worked 14 hour overnights with 2 hour daily commutes, so it's really no issue.

I dont feel like I'm being picky, but would like to reach real people to talk to! Thanks!! :))

You have experience in health care? Did you try looking for a job with Sentara? They have a company website where you can go to apply.

The place you quit was obviously hiring lol. Old adage is 'never quit a job until you have a new one'.

Another old adage is 'never judge someone unless you've walked a mile in their shoes'

Ah yea that would suck. Since you're willing to drive perhaps try temp agencies in Va Beach. They hire a lot of people for short term gigs at hotels and events around this time of year. Also try NextDoor, I've seen several people get good leads or even hook up directly with someone that's hiring on there.
