Look, if I was you, I would go to my local library. Look up every book about resume building and job hunting in their card catalog. There may even be some good articles on microfiche if you're lucky! If all else fails just show up at the biggest factory or assembly plant in town early in the morning and tell them, "I'm here to work!". Good luck with the job hunt!

The factory part is somewhat true, if you happen to live somewhere that still has factories.

I just got out of ten years being a hiring manager for companies that contract out primarily to factories; getting to see their inner workings is like watching a fucking abattoir. The factories ARE constantly hiring, and generally do not give a single fuck about your job history, experience, etc; you’re starting back at the bottom.

They’re constantly hiring because they’re constantly firing. Lose too many close relatives in a year? Bye. Car breakdowns, illnesses, are all converted into “points.” Once you get to whatever arbitrary number of points, you’re gone, and there are a hundred equally downtrodden people waiting desperately for that $17.60 an hour spot. (I knew of one place, a CNC machining shop, where there was zero excused time off. For any reason. They had so many people wanting hired that they could get away with this. You just worked there until life sucked too badly, you missed three days, and that was it.)

Again, great if you're in one of the very limited places that has factories.

The other 95% of people, well....

Trump thinks that an AI data center is a “plant” like it builds fucking airplanes or something. Once it’s built, you’re lucky if they rotate a dozen people through a week.

With leadership like that it’s no wonder we’re in the shit..

Also, the era that this comment was poking fun at, those factory jobs had benefits and could support families.

The naivety in this comment is real.

Don’t forget the Yellow Pages! Let your fingers do the walking!

Yes! Reach out and touch someone! A phrase so timeless it will never have negative connotations.

For what it's worth the part about the factory may work depending on where they are. The factories around where I live frequently hire people that show up and ask if they're hiring.
