Like others have said, would be nice to know your location. If in the Baton Rouge area and not afraid of heights and people, I may have something for you

Don’t give up.
Two former coworkers of mine are in same boat.
They cut outr overtime last year so they quit.
And have yet to find a job.

In all seriousness, after two months of looking I took a job with a 50k pay cut out of boredom. Still looking

There are websites out there that will fine tune your resume to get past the ATS (applicant tracking system). The ATS filters out resumes that do not meet criteria of the posting. For example if the posting says “customer service” in the description the ATS will filter out resumes that do not include that phrase.

not sure if op isn't trolling but my daughter(no pics,) is opening up a business next month that will require food service employees and so far can't find anyone that wants to work unless it's 100% on their terms, economy must be pretty good out there

Sort of aligns with the recent take on here from our resident crawfish farmer who stated the industry uses foreign workers on a visa because US citizens aren’t interested in the job.

Some on here can really help you. Where for you live and are you willing to move?

Without a response most will assume you are not serious

It sounds like you have zero marketable skills. I suggest untrained labor. Try cutting grass.

See if your local CINTAS has any openings. They are always hiring.
