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.

Im transgender and work in a kitchen, if anyone is hiring in your area you could start there, it can be a high stress environment but so is being trans. Apply for prep cook/dishwasher jobs and you'll eventually be able to work on the line.

If you get there and find out people are phobic or whatever you can just bounce. Theres always more kitchens, and every one is going to have different vibes.

The pay is shit and you lose nights and weekends but you never have to talk to customers
