My next question is how do you go into those places? Dressed decent? How do you ask for an application? Do you ask if they’re hiring or if you could get an application?
Take it from somebody who manages in the food industry. Go in confident, dressed right, and for the love of god never ask if they’re hiring. Not trying to knock ya, we all gotta start somewhere, but its a matter of how driven you are to get the job. The people who take the application always pick out things about you, and no matter what will judge if they’ll call you back just on first impressions.
Also don’t just look for help wanted or now hiring, your other mistake. Go everywhere, if it means you have to go home and fill out 40 applications, then fuck it, fill out 40 and bring 40 back, and then fill out another bunch. Places are almost always hiring, they just may not advertise it.
But don’t say you’re “stuck” you’re never stuck, just need to have the motivation and drive to make changes and get out of the unhappy situation your in.

every application i turn in is done in black ink.
i always write in the comments or whatever that application box is, something like “i have a full portfolio available upon request”. and i do have a real portfolio. resume, introduction letter, references, etc etc. all of it pertains to the automotive field.
