I’ve been applying for jobs non-stop, but I feel like I’m stuck in a loop. I’ve never had a formal job before, only over 10 years of volunteer work, and I’m not sure if that counts as real experience. My resume is pretty bare aside from some basic homemaker skills and a bit of technical knowledge. Going back to school isn’t an option for me right now because of my student loans, and I’m starting to worry that I’ll be in debt forever. I’ve been told that I need to network with people in industries where my skills might transfer, but I’m not sure how to start. Some advice I’ve received suggests I might need to take a low-skill job, like in a restaurant, to begin building a work history. It’s frustrating to think that being 30 and having no work history could be such a huge red flag for employers. I know I need to show my willingness to work, but it feels like a long road ahead.
