For example I applied to a VAST amount of places via Indeed.com, and almost every one of those places did not reached back to me, rejected my application, and especially after my interviews that I must work overnight, (Papa John's Dominos/Mcdonald's could change that though) what in the world should I do? And did you had any similar stories?

If you can't find a job in the restaurant/hospitality during a massive, industry-wide staffing crisis, you just might be unemployable.

I've seen a return of good ol' fashioned "Help Wanted" signs in storefronts lately with an actual on-site or phone contact; maybe try that approach if the same thing is happening in your area instead of using Indeed or similar online job-ad aggregating sites.

You shouldn't have trouble finding jobs like that now. Has someone checked your resume?

What city/state/country?

And why can't you work overnight?

I don't understand. Do you want to work nights, or does the employer wants you to work nights but you don't want to?

You tell us - why are you being rejected? You must know, even if you're not comfortable sharing.

Yes. That is a part of the job search process. You have to keep applying and don't allow the rejections to affect you.

Funny, he never came back but still logs in.

I wonder if his user name has something to do with it?

This kind of reminds me of something I saw a few months ago. There was a guy standing on the corner with a "will work for food" sign. Interestingly enough, the gas station behind him has a help wanted sign up, a taco bell across from the corner is always looking for help and a restaurant a block down the road always has a help wanted sign up.

It means he gets government benefits that he doesn't want to lose taking a legit job.
