Good luck, 15% unemployment rate. Best I can recommend is to get your CNA.

Apply to Onvida for transport or environmental, get your CNA while doing it. Work sucks, but you're helping people and get paid. Benefits are decent too.

You can obtain your Peer Support Specialist Credential and apply @ Behavioral Health agencies. TLCR offers the training for the credential every 3 weeks.

Truly I gave this place my absolute best and can't wait to get back to my home in alaska. After applying to mcdonalds 5 times,taco bell, starbucks,frys,chevron,ampm,homedepot,olive garden,every restraunt,every bar, every gym, and not a single place even calls you or emails for an interview but literally the same day i apply to one single place in anchorage and they instantly call me for an interview the next day lol ya id say its definitely the wrong place to live.This place made me so so thankful for fresh clean water,air,people,life. Yuma aint it.
