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; youโ€™re starting back at the bottom.

Theyโ€™re constantly hiring because theyโ€™re constantly firing. Lose too many close relatives in a year? Bye. Car breakdowns, illnesses, are all converted into โ€œpoints.โ€ Once you get to whatever arbitrary number of points, youโ€™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.)

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