>>243834 (OP) 
Lol
That's rough. I've dealt with poorly designed interweb page interfaces but mostly with web stores, feedback forms and trivial shit like that.
Cheer up though. "Good morning" is actually proof that you can be polite to customers.

Get it together man
Nobody wants to hire anybody for anything except jeets.
Everyone is waiting for everything to end in a big ball of fire.
Just light the fire you pusillanimous puke.

No Country for White Men
Lol
All of these corporate chain jobs are a black hole for resumes. Every blue moon they will look at them when they get desperate. You will likely receive a phone call from GameStop in 4 months after you found another job and forgot all about it.
Another thing: apparently online job applications are another victim of constant AI spam. I have no earthly idea what a scammer gets out of AI spamming job apps aside from maybe phishing but the rate of fake applicants means these HR departments are flooded.

I stopped applying anywhere that doesn't let you just send an email or text. Any company with a custom form is blacklisted. Many of them expect you to create an account and send extremely personal information just to apply, not even to get the job. Also, fuck cover letters or wearing suits to interviews. Here's some advice for you to get a job, OP.

Consider using a staffing service. They send you job offers instead of you having to apply. Once you apply to the staffing service, they'll pitch your qualifications on your behalf and try to get you in to one of their clients. It's typically minimum wage factory/warehouse type jobs with high turnover but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Physical work goes faster, you don't have to pretend to be busy, there's usually 3 shifts so you don't have to 9-5, the standards aren't high, you don't have to see the same people everyday, and it's expected that you'll be working there temporarily.

Go to the BLS website and find out what kinds of jobs are wanted, abundant, growing, and pay well in your area. You can use WIOA or FAFSA to get paid to go to job training. Once you get a cert or a degree, your institution which often works with specialized staffing services can help you get employed.

You can also try doing gig economy type jobs. These kinds of companies hire everyone guaranteed. The problem is that they only offer piecework. There's no guaranteed pay, benefits, or any sort of rights. It's shit but at least you're guaranteed to get in and the schedules are flexible. Examples are ridesharing, food delivery, and streaming.

Maybe it's not a scammer but justice considering this resume bullshit for entry level is gay when the interview should matter more.

I accidentally a job myself and yes it was tedious but not as much as trying to get taxes done when you have one of those special PINs to avoid ID theft that you can't turn off. I take forever to do my taxes because of this. Then they won't cash your check and you have to go to amscot and pay a fee or three! Enjoy the four hour bus riding!
>>243834 (OP) 
Did you know that HR rarely reads resumes?
We just print them all out, wrap them in eachother, then roll them into a ball until they resemble something like a cabbage
Now the next is to stuff it some interns ass, and we usually pick ours carefully and I mean CAREFULLY
Wichever one makes it closest to the litter basket from there after the  usual process involved gets hired
>>243834 (OP) 
lol I feel bad for you man.
>>243834 (OP) 
I feel like this every day I wake up in the morning.
The struggle is real, dude.
>walk in
>let me talk to manager
>i will work for you 
>i can work to-day
<sir a resume
>i am right here. i can work as soon as right now.
At this point they'll probably give you a sheet of paper to fill out and you fill it out there and hand it to the boss. maybe he says
<have to do online application i know its gay
>okay are you working tomorrow
<yes/no but frank is and he's actually my boss
>i will be here tomorrow
<welllll blah blah blah
>then i will be here the day after. you need workers. i need work. 
And follow through. Look the faggot dead in his gay little eyes and talk straight. Lighten up if it's getting too tense, but still be direct and not rude. 
Alternatively, 
>rejoice and be glad
>the spring time has come
>throw down the shovel
>go on the bum 
You'll figure it out teenbro.

Always wondered if it were possible to live on the streets without begging for money and just catching and eating to rats and people's pets or maybe like farming just enough for myself in the woods, but with my PC I don't know what Id do for entertainment

I will do this monday and I'll let you know how it goes, but I'll bring a paper copy of my resume too

Some places simply don't have jobs. It's not enough to be employable. Having credentials, job experience, and a degree isn't going to make the economy any less broken or the government less corrupt. For many of us, moving is the only choice if we want to get out of the ghetto.
