Advice
I thought I was going to have to go back to waiting tables shortly before I got this job because my applications to other places weren’t panning out, but then heard about the position from another community member and had an interview scheduled shortly after. Just keep looking and you can (probably) find a job you’re interested in, stay hopeful when you’re hunting for a job.
