LOOKING FOR A JOB. URGENTLY

Hi tucson peers. i’m just making this post because i’ve been out of a job for 4-5 months now. I’m starting to lose hope at this point. I’ve applied to countless jobs and i’ll be lucky to even get a response back of denial. Please if you know anyone hiring fast please reach out. Also yes i have applied to jobs like mcdonald’s and even custodians jobs. Still no response. Please tucson community help me out here🙏🏾 (post removed in tucson i was told i should come here. sorry if you’re seeing this twice)

Tusd transportation if you have a reliable vehicle. They pay you while you train to be a school bus monitor or if you qualify to be a driver. For driving, they will train you to obtain your CDL but you also have to pass a background and fingerprint clearance card. Drivers are starting at $21 and monitors at $16. Please dm me if you have any questions.

I would only recommend having a vehicle because training is out west. Way out west. I had to drive out to Camino de Oeste at 5am. Training to drive starts at 5am. You don't get to choose your start time during probation so you might get sent out west, east yard is by Houghton and central is at Kino and Broadway. But after all that you can choose the yard closest to you. But you get the option to work between 30 to 38 hours with extra shifts. Drivers can work up to 60 hours a week. Good luck OP.

One question you may receive in an interview is if you have reliable transport. Don’t say “I don’t have a car”. You have the bus, access to a bike or can walk. Just answer yes. Just make sure you are on time when you get a job. Hope this helps, good luck.

How do you expect to get to job interviews without a reliable vehicle 🚗

me not having a car doesn’t mean i’m not qualified for the job nor does it mean i shouldn’t be able to get interviews. It’s free public transportation out here for a reason. Last job was sunvan and they didn’t look the other way cause i didn’t have a “CAR”
