I'm a 17-year-old female, about to turn 18, and I'm in a bit of a tough spot regarding my job search. I'm moving to a new city for university at the end of August with my boyfriend, who is 18 and currently working weekends while he finishes school. I've been working full-time, but my job was contracted and irregular, and now I only have a few shifts left before I move—about 3-4 in the next two months. For the past six months, I've been trying to secure a proper full-time job, but I haven't had any luck. My boyfriend thinks the issue is my application approach. While I've been applying to openings on job sites like Indeed and attending hiring events, he suggests I should be more proactive by emailing every store or business in the area or going in person to ask if they're hiring. The thing is, I live in a city, and he comes from a very small town where that strategy seems to work better. I'm worried that approaching businesses directly might come off as off-putting to potential employers. Another concern is the timing. If I were to get a job today, I'd only be able to work for about eight weeks before I have to leave, which means I'd have to give my two weeks' notice after just six weeks. I feel guilty about potentially leaving my employers in a bind and worry that it would reflect poorly on me when I try to use them as references or include that experience on my resume. My boyfriend thinks I should just go for it and not worry about the consequences, but I’m really conflicted. I want to work, but I also don’t want to feel like I'm being unfair to anyone. I'm looking for advice on how to navigate this situation.
