30 Years in Hospitality, Still Jobless—What Gives?
I've been hustling in the hospitality scene for over three decades—since I was 19, to be exact. You'd think with my experience as a bartender and server, plus all my certifications, I'd be a hot commodity, right? Well, after sending out over 250 resumes and doing a handful of interviews and trial shifts, I'm still jobless after two months.
Here's the kicker: every manager I meet wants me to be available 24/7 (which I am), but if I'm not already working somewhere else, they seem to lose interest. Is being unemployed suddenly a red flag? Or are they just collecting resumes like baseball cards, hoping to get lucky?
If you've got some insight, please clue me in—because right now, this whole process feels like a game with rules nobody bothered to explain. 😅🍸
