Hello, tomorrow I’ll be turning 23, and it’s been exactly one year since I arrived in America. Right now, I’m looking for a job; it doesn’t really matter what kind of job.

Last year when I came here, I had almost no money, and even though I had all my documents, I couldn’t find a job and was unemployed for two months. Now, almost a year later, I’m in a similar situation. My work permit will be renewed in the first week of December, and right now, I don’t have a job. I’m looking for a place in November where I can work daily or get paid in cash.

I was working at Panera Bread, but the manager was sometimes bullying me, didn’t give me enough hours, and every time I went in, I felt like I couldn’t breathe, my mental was so bad, so I had to leave. This past year, nothing has gone right, and, sadly, I even thought about giving up, but I still wanted to reach out and ask if you have any job opportunities. I couldn’t even afford a car everything has been going so poorly. I have some experience in server, busser and digital marketing&social media. My goal was make some money and focus on my social media and & resell but yeah, nothing is going ok… I thought I could bring my family members end of 2025 but even I couldn’t do nothing good in 1 year. I have potential but I’m so stuck.

Also, do you think it would help if I went to any restaurant and explained my situation? Would they possibly hire me? What should I do, anyone can help?

Thank you.
