Jennifer Davis lost her job as director of catering and special events at a small restaurant chain within 15 minutes of Maryland shuttering bars and eateries in mid-March.
Nearly 10 months later, Davis is still looking for work. A 20-plus-year veteran of the restaurant industry, she's applied"nonstop" to a wide range of positions, including in management, operations and as an executive assistant, with little to no response. Jennifer Davis hopes to expand her job prospects by going back to college and studying to become a real estate agent.
The 23-year-old wants to stay in the marketing field to use the certificates he has earned. He also hopes to work from home since he's concerned about contracting the coronavirus. While the Tulsa, Oklahoma resident said he could probably work at a fast food restaurant, he's trying not to go backwards in his career. He has had several virtual interviews for telecommunications posts but was later told that someone more qualified was selected.
