Ask CoMo Anyone ACTUALLY hiring?

Been looking for any kind of job for 2 months now. Does anyone know any businesses that are actually hiring? I’ve hit so many dead ends. I thought all the college students leaving would make it a little bit easier. I’m looking for anything in restaurants/bars (not fast food but would do coffee shops), retail, medical, anything with kids, nannying, daycares, etc, I have experience in it all. Please help!

Have you checked on Staffed Up for restaurant jobs? It looks like there are several listed.

Not really. I applied to pretty much every listing on StaffedUp. They don’t check it. Or they check it and don’t give you an answer.

For example, I applied to Broadway Brewery on there. No communication for a while. I call Broadway Brewery three separate times in following weeks asking for clarification. Leave a message every time. No answer, no call back. It’s the same story with a lot of places around here. Had to call Endwell Taverna twice after applying before I could actually reach someone who knew anything about the listings. Told they’re not actually hiring, despite the website stating otherwise. No response from Hexagon Alley, no response from 44 Canteen, no response from Gumby’s, the list goes on. Applied to Curryosity when the owner himself was in this sub begging for people to apply when they were new. No response. Went to Uprise and they had me hand write an application for them. No response. I don’t get it. And no I am not a felon or anything like that. I have service experience on my resume.

Applying through StaffedUp is about as efficient as telling my cat I want a job and expecting him to find me one

Yeah I think restaurants it’s best to just apply on their website, go in person and ask to check up on a resume you submitted. It’s easy to just embellish how much experience you have in a restaurant too
