I am sorry. What type of jobs are you both looking for and where? There could be someone here who can help.

My hubby was doing computer programming/automation. I've done medical transcription and data entry. I'm definitely looking for remote work because I homeschool and refuse to send the kids to public school. Hubby's job is easy enough for remote work as well (I gather a lot of those positions are remote). We apply and apply but never hear anything back, not even a 'sorry we hired someone else'.

We use anything and everything we can to get a job, local papers, LinkedIn, official company websites, Indeed, Flexjobs, Rat Race Rebellion...we actually don't care as long as we can get him a decent job, ideally one that pays at least what he was making before. If I went by what most say, he'll have a super hard time finding a job anywhere because he's white, so might as well try everything we can.
