Best way to find a good job?

Question

Ok at the risk of sounding like a complete dumbass I am posting this question because Im really that desperate and at my wits end.
For background I’m currently a security officer, but I’ve never held a full time job. I have an associates degree and I think I’m hard working and dependable, but I’ve always struggled with finding a job. I make $11 an hour working part time.  I found out about this job from a friend of my husband and luckily I had prior experience.
Also asking for my husband since he recently quit his job due to illness and is now looking for something new. He only has a GED, but can usually find a job quite easily, but this time is different. I think he just needs to get his butt in gear and look more and apply more. I’m honestly getting frustrated.
I usually look on Indeed.com, but I mostly just see more of the same on there. 
What do you do? Do you have a degree? I feel so lost and inadequate.

Answer

I left my job in September 2017 to be a stay at home mom, I was in the workforce as in with the unemployment office to assist people with resume building and find gainful employment at a self sustaining wage and interview prep among other things. Then I left and got into staffing. The point of this is to say you do not have to have a degree to find a decent paying job. You do have to have a good resume and be good at interviews. A lot of resumes are picked a part by computers before you move into the next step (call for interview or phone interview). You need to cater your resume to EACH job you apply for. Read the job requirements and job description. Insert their keywords into your resume under skills or under your job descriptions. I like to read the requirements and put that under my skills summary or key competencies. It’s a pain in the ass but you will get calls. Read the job carefully, if you get an interview blow it out of the waiter with confidence. Practice interviewing with someone. A question a lot of employers like to ask is what is your greatest strength (easy to answer because we like to boast ourselves) and what is your greatest weakness. Take your weakness and turn it into a positive. One weakness I like to use is I have a hard time saying no and this can lead to an overly large amount of tasks but this is something I am actively working on to get better with and with adequate time management I have gotten better. Bs bs bs! Bs your resume, have good references. If someone does a check on your past jobs they don’t check how long you were at a past job they want to know your work ethic and character. I have started applying for jobs again because stay at home life is difficult for me and I miss working and having my own income, lol. Gaps in employment is frowned upon. Since leaving my job in September I put House Manager (hello! I manage a house)!

Answer

Personal networking is usually most effective, so chat with your friends & family to ask if any of their companies are hiring.  Good luck!

Answer

I have found all of my jobs from Craigslist or through friends/hookups. Through high school to grad school those were my go to sources.

Answer

I always would look on indeed and just wait until new postings appeared. Look up Prometric testing center, if there is an office in your city they're usually hiring and pays $13/hr.
