The 1960s called, they want their incredibly outdated job hunting advice back.

    That advice worked into the 1990's, and even some in the 00's (at least in my GenXer direct experience). But it ain't working now, that's for sure.

    Eh it worked 10 years ago as well, but I've not been in retail/entry level jobs for about that long. Just walk in or visit the store website and fill out an application. Turnover is so high in these shitty entry level roles that they're always looking for new blood

    Heck a recruiter I talked to 8 years ago is still including me on mass texts about immediate openings at warehouses and factories for laborers with the most recent just a couple of days ago

    Do these jobs suck? Yeah, but they'll hire anyone with a pulse who can show up sober, and oftentimes sobriety is optional. It'll get the person out of the house and earning some money which should help their mental state as well since staying inside 24/7 and having no structure to your life is a recipe for depression

    If we’re talking about grocery stores, fast food, and gas stations that absolutely still works lmao.

    Pretty much all the minimum wage places still have walk in job applications. Often times they’ll just interview you on the spot.
