How do you know if you're job hunting correctly? If you get a job?

Like are you always suposed to use a cover letter when applying to a career you have no experience in?

What's most effective when hunting? Like using hiring websites like indeed and then going over the to job's company and apply through them?

More questions below.

Should i sign up to multiple hiring websites? Should i go apply in person?

What's the ettquite if there is one, when applying for out of state remote work? What about applying to a job that you are/willing to relocating for?

What about work accomodations? When do you mention those in the process? When you get hired? Before that?

Do you have to remake your resume for every job you apply for thats in a different field? What if you are just starting out with little experience over all? What about resume gaps due to personal or medical reasons? How do you explain that? In a cover letter?

How do you create a cover letter? Whats the format? Content? Should it always change like resumes each application?

There are so much more questions i have. And idt i should have this many questions at all. But what do i know? I dont have that much work experience, and i know im privilaged for that.

Or is it that but combined with autism /needing the why explained?

Idk, im just so confused and overwhelmed and upset by this and it doesnt help that the job mafket is shit and crumbling before our eyes and there is little we can do about it.

I'm just gonna vent a little again, bc i apparently am too autistic to work in customer service

So, fuck my job and its corprate sphere. They aren't doing shit and even said they could have tried harder to help me but dropped the ball.

The way they're putting me back in a dept that i do not do so well in anymore than when i first started, and would rather not work in anymore. The way corprate said no the dept you want to be in is technically full and cannkt take on anymore persons. Even tho i got moved to that dept earlier to help out in thr first place.

The way my old-now-current manager said i like you because of your open availability (and therefore makes her job a little easier). And my boss said to help you out we'll schedule monthly meetings to check up on your performance. Also get better at customer service persona and you cannot tell a customer no, except for no-not-right-now-but-will-have-it-later-in-the-week-what-would-customer-prefer.

I told them that the dept i'm going back to is overstimulating and i will need less hours.

But like, its a customer facing dept so like i cant get any accomodations. It fucking sucks and i want to quit but cant bc they pay just enough that i wont find any similar job with equal pay.

Ooooh this fuels me with rage!
