No college degree. Massive gap in my resume (years). FUCKING TRANSGENDER. Fucking beginning of my transition, I look awful, I sound awful, and I have no actual reason for someone to hire me. My CIS friends with NO GAPS, STUDYING are getting turned down for retail jobs. Jobs at car washes. WHAT FUCKING HOPE DO I HAVE?? And I'm moving so I have to quit at my current job. I'll have good references, my previous employers have all loved me, and I technically have a bit of a nicer position for my resume now but still. I'm fucking cooked. And I desperately need a job bc no SO and I need to move out. Parents are going to be unbearable when I have to come out.

A bit late, but all the shipping companies (UPS, FedEx, US Post) hire like crazy for the Christmas rush to have someone man the conveyor belts & keep the packages moving. They usually don't have to downsize come January either, as most of the folks who hire on aren't physically able to keep up. So, if you're young-ish and are taking care of yourself physically, I'd try there.

Failing that, I know a trans friend who had luck cleaning houses with some of the rent-a-maid chain services. Apparently they aren't picky, so long as you know not to steal from the customers and can speak passable English.
