People who've been hired recently: got any tips on how to job search in 2026?

I got my administrative role eliminated last July, and it took me 8 months to find the temp factory Caretaker job I'm in now. I love the job, but $18 an hour doesn't pay the mortgage, bills, gas and food to live, and it can end anytime.

In those 8 months, I tried job banks, job fairs, workshops, applying to any job I could find on indeed/LinkedIn and in person, emailing recruiters directly, and it led to maybe a handful of interviews that went nowhere.

With a business degree, 10+ years of work experience among retail/customer service, management, fast food, secretarial/administrative positions, and now Commercial Cleaning, I don't think it would be lack of knowledge and experience. I've been rejected even from McDonald's.

I know we're in tough times, but any updated tips or leads would be greatly appreciated. I'll work anywhere from fort erie to Grimsby.

Any other fellow Leo's actually hate attention?

I hate being perceived and getting special attention and would rather just do my own thing and be left alone. I'm pretty introverted and only like being around my very close friend and family here and there.

I find the stereotype of Leo's being attention hungry very annoying and people are naturally drawn to me no matter how much I try to avoid it. I don't hate people, I just am very private and like my own company and my small circle.

It could also be my sun in the 8th house/8th house stelluim or my Taurus moon/stelluim.
