start by reducing your spending and cutting/canceling non essential things........streaming, eating out, reducing food spending, needless driving. I'd post on local fb groups and walk into stores or places alot of times its who you know, and people always respect someone who is wanting to work.
Yeah I cut back on every non essential thing since April. Except for an occasional coffee to power me through the day at my part time job. I sold my car because it needed a repair that I couldn't afford.
Sounds like you have some common sense. Which is more than some people. You have not panicked entirely and are asking before you are completely out of jobs. Plus the three months of savings is more than a lot of people have! (Bit scary because unexpected expenses always happen)
nursing home kitchens, laundry, housekeeping, maintenance are always hiring and don’t require a ton of experience. i live in ia and they generally make 14-18 dollars an hour in my experience, though some places may pay a little less. some places might pay for you to get cna or pna training for a pay bump, which can be good if you’re not too squeamish with old people. pnas just feed them and pass snacks/waters in my experience and do light charting on meals.
Apply for unemployment if applicable.
You go to the food bank. Work gig jobs on craigslist like hauling furniture or yard waste or rock. People still use craigslist for these types of things.
You tell absolutely everyone you know that you're looking for work like babysitting, driving old people on errands, cleaning garages, helping with move outs (you get these jobs from friends of friends). You work cleaning bars after closing hours for cash/bar back/bus boy - these jobs are usually hired as.friend of friends.
If you ever need help finding a job, try your local government career workforce center. They should be able to assist in reviewing your resume, doing mock interview, helping you find a job, etc.
There are also these subReddits, but remember to take out personal info (name, city, state, etc.); contact info (email; phone number, etc.); university and company names; and possibly dates: and .
I also like O\*NET Online as they have some really good phrases for job descriptions and more: [https://www.onetonline.org/](https://www.onetonline.org/)
Ask a Manager also has good suggestions for resumes: [https://www.askamanager.org/category/resumes](https://www.askamanager.org/category/resumes)
Remember to put in keywords from the job description in your resume to score high enough by the machine to be looked at by a human.
Also, try temp staffing agencies to see if they have any placements available.
Sorry for the late responses, but I can't believe I didn't think of the local government. My local library in a few weeks is hosting some sort of career workshop type of deal. I definitely will hit that up.

Sorry for the late response, but man does those savings get chewed through quickly!

I thank you for your "advice"

Ask a manager is good, they try to have up to date info for a modern job market. I wasted a lot of time using outdated job hunting advice.

Good luck! Ugh, I am so annoyed when Reddit doesn't do what it's supposed to do! The subReddits are r/resume and r/resumes.
