  • That was it. No more than that. Worst thing is that almost all this products are from Mexico. Before the collectivists and leftists took power in Venezuela, we used to make all these products

    Left to right

    4 blue pasta packages, 200 grams each

    4 green rice packages, 1 kg

    4 yellow spaghetti packs. 200 grams each

    6 shredded tuna cans. 130 grams each

    1 oil bottle. 1 liter

    2 red bottles, tomato sauce/ketchup. 220 grams each

    2 orange packs, corn flour, 1kg each

    1 pack of refined sugar, 1kg

    1 white pack, dry whole milk, 500 grams

    2 green packs, black beans, 1kg each

    3 yellow packs, egg spaghetti, 290 grams each

    3 red packs, elbow shaped spaghetti , 200 grams each

    1 blue pack, lentils, 1 kg

    Take into account that this is supposed to last a family of 4 a month. If it ever arrives.

    Because it’s assigned per family

    Also, as most of these products are from Mexico, the transportation is not the best and most of the time they arrive corroded, open by rats, or with less or very different products than advertised

    So yeah I’m glad I escaped the collectivistic hellhole with my family mostly intact








  • So I don’t know if you tried looking for state jobs.

    I see you are in Michigan so, apply for something that you’re overqualified for and then work the job until you’re past the probation period.

    Then, apply for the job you want. They hire internally first for pretty much every position. This is how several people’s experience go about how they got into their current position with the state at DHHS.

    A popular position for getting your foot in the door is processing food stamp applications. It’s remote and doesn’t require a bachelor’s degree, so having a bachelor’s degree will likely get you an interview.

    Also, this applies in general:

    Applicant recruiting software usually looks for key words.

    Look at the ad & attached position description and highlight the words and phrases used.

    Include them in your resume, cover letter, application. You have to tailor your application to each position. It’s a royal pain, but that’s how most recruiting software works.

    I would also urge you to call the respective departments/agencies HR departments and ask about the position. A current employee may be able to flag your application depending on whom you speak to.

    Either that or try MDOC as some say it is the easiest way into the State. Its not for everyone but its an option. They always look for people.

    So to summarize

    Use exact words and terms from the job description on your application. The software will search and grade your application by these hits.

    Keep it short. Use only one font. The software diagnoses the beginning font and can’t read anything that deviates from the font.

    Apply for an entry level position and work your way up to the position you actually want.

    Other options

    Check the community college job postings near where you live! When they are about to start a new semester, they usually have openings

    On that note, The schools are always hiring. It varies depending on the district, but Livonia school for example is looking for the following:

    https://www.applitrack.com/livoniapublicschools/onlineapp/default.aspx?all=1

    Manufacturing is ALWAYS hiring. Drive by just about any plant in the Metro Detroit area and probably there will be ‘now hiring’ signs all over the place.

    No experience will probably start around $15/hr, but if you learn fast & want to advance, there are usually ways to move up pretty quickly.

    Check out mml.org’s classifieds if you haven’t already. Again, people often overlook city government jobs but the pay is often decent and have good benefits. Some also tend to browse governmentjobs.com.

    Oakland County seems to have lots of different jobs available.

    Try contacting an agency like kelly or arrow strategies if you’re in tech.

    Remember we are near the end of year. December January February are basically dead time for gigs, they all pick up on march
