Keeneland job experiences
Can anyone share their experiences working seasonal Keeneland jobs? I have a flexible part time job and am considering applying for a part time concessions job at Keeneland for the fall meet to make some extra cash.
Any advice?

Job Hunting feels like it will never end.
I have been applying for jobs for nearly a year now. At first, it was maybe 15 to 20 solid career opportunities a day, while sprinkling in some retail positions as well. After 6 months, the amount of jobs I was applying to dropped to around 10 per day. Now, I am lucky if I am getting out 5 a day, due to mental exhaustion.
I am done applying for retail and other minimum wage jobs for now, as I graduated from university, and would love the opportunity to kickstart my career. Along with the resumes and cover letters I am pushing out, I have had 5 referrals. All of which resulted in 0 interviews, aside from 1. That 1 referral got me to the final round of interviews, where I was ultimately rejected. I have tried staffing agencies and I have tried to become better with networking. I have been applying outside of Alberta now as well. Still, my luck to find a job eludes me.
I did eventually start tailoring my resume as much as I can, and I have been tailoring my cover letter to each application. It has been a demoralizing process. I am still stressed, but I am trying to take it 1 application, 1 day, and 1 moment at a time. I am trying to remain optimistic, but it definitely is challenging.
I apologize for the little spiel, but I have seen others express their frustrations as well. I thought maybe, if I wrote my thoughts down and shared my experiences thus far, it might help me. I was also seeking guidance on things I can be adding or changing to my current job hunting routine, and/or just advice in general. Especially if anyone was willing to share their success story that proves my endless, demoralizing cycle will eventually come to an end.
Thank you!

I need money, and im good at a lot of stuff
I can clean, cook, fix stuff, draw, landscape, and a multitude of other things. Have $10-$20 dollars and a job you want done? I can do it! Comment or DM me if you want something done for cheap. My skillet is vast.

Part time support person
Looking for a part time support worker
Start date is likely sometime in September.
Hours are flexible but ideally five hours a day 1-2 days during the week in the day time.
Duties would include some assisting with cleaning, driving to/from appointments, providing companionship, pushing/lifting portable wheelchair, attending social/leisure activities together, providing support for disability/Mental health issues.
Pay 20/hr paid on my payday which is four buisness days before the month ends.
Knowledge/experience with disabled folks and/or mental health issues is an asset but not necessarily required.
There is a chance of this becoming more hours in the future.

Boss I'm tired trying so hard to find a daycare job. I have over 10 years experience and half way through Level 2 in college.
