I'm currently navigating the job market after experiencing some challenges in my previous roles. At 18, I've worked at two different places, both of which had their own issues. My first job was at a convenience store that prided itself on a "family environment," but it turned out to be quite the opposite for me. The owner bullied me, expecting me to learn a huge menu of over 100 items in just two days without any training. Eventually, I was no longer scheduled for shifts, which was disappointing because I actually enjoyed the camaraderie with my co-workers. I then moved on to a grocery store that was more unionized, which came with better benefits and decent hours. However, the environment became overwhelming during busy times, and I felt isolated from my co-workers. Unfortunately, I had a medical event that made it difficult for me to stand for long periods, and the store couldn't accommodate my needs. The healthcare system's inefficiencies meant I couldn't get the necessary support in time, leading me to leave that job as well. Now, I'm on the lookout for a minimum wage job that offers a more connected work environment. I really want to work somewhere I can interact with my colleagues rather than feeling detached. Retail is still an option for me, but I prefer a role that doesn't require prolonged standing due to my health issues. I can handle light lifting and enjoy being active, but I need to find a position that allows me to move around without being stationary for too long. I'm also hoping to find a job that won't just stop scheduling me out of the blue, ideally in a unionized setting. I’m wondering if my specific requirements are limiting my options too much and if anyone has suggestions on how to approach my job search or what to consider before applying. I do have some retail and food experience, so I'm hoping that helps my case.
