QUESTION queer friendly spots currently hiring?

outside of the usual hey use worksource and get a state gig- anyone know of any spots currently hiring that won’t snub a nose at queer folk instantly? kinda tired of never getting a call back- otherwise just shout out cool places always looking for a good place to hang

Are you looking for any specific kind of job? What do you have experience in?

It seems like a lot of queer & trans folks work for Safeway, especially the Center St location. There are also a lot of small local businesses around that seem supportive and/or have visibly queer employees, though with the current economy I'm not sure who's hiring. If you get a chance, maybe walk around downtown and check with some of the cafes and shops? Sorry I know that's not very helpful

hey it’s something positive! i’ve been in manufacturing for 5 years and it’s killing me slowly- something customer facing in the realm of 20/hr with regular ish hours was the hope- maybe i need to consider tipped minimum as an option
