Jobs Can someone help me find a job?

I have a condition called plantar fasciitis that makes it difficult to stand on my feet for hours at a time. Its made it incredibly difficult for me to find a job down here. I also dont have much work experience due to that nor do I have a college degree. Ive been trying to get a desk job or something that wouldn’t require me being on my feet that much but im reaching a point where I believe it’s impossible for me to find. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice?

I might recommend one of the local temp agencies to get an office placement just to get the experience on your resume. Sometimes they offer temp-to-perm positions, too.

I had the same problem right out of college because I didn’t have any positions that indicated that I could do office work, but this helped.

I went through Long’s, they’re on the midtown park loop right off of dauphin near 65. I think they’re the oldest locally owned agency. I would def recommend.
