Most of those are in Indeed.

You can also be a translator. 

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

For retail .. ask to speak to the manager at places that interest you and are close for walking or public transport. Many places have signs in their windows. Face to face is good !! Have your resume in hand .

I was about to say the absolute opposite 😂 only mom and pop stores do face to face anymore. Usually even the managers will point you to the companies homepage to apply.

Thanks

The best way to get a job in this country is through someone you know who works there.  Except for my first job (which was the hardest to get), every job was because someone I knew there worked there.  
 

So priorities for your attention:

 

1. apply for jobs at places where you know someone. That person should be willing to place your resume literally in front of the eyes of the hiring manager. 
 

2. apply for jobs at places with a sign in the window that says help wanted and apply inside.  
 

3. apply for jobs at places that list a phone number to call. 
 

4. apply for jobs that where you upload your resume to a website owned by the hiring company.  A waste of time in my opinion but if you have nothing better to do, you might as well 

 

5. Like 4 but you upload your resume to a website that is not owned by a hiring company (such as Indeed)

 

I estimate that for options 4 and 5 fewer than 1 in 100 job applications produce an interview     Probably more like fewer than 1 in 10,000. 

 

Web sites like Indeed and Monster are good for employers and not good for people who want jobs.  Most likely you will just end up with a lifetime of spam email.  If you do option 4 or 5 do it with a throw away email address.

I heard it will take time to adjust my university degree to American and after 9 years of experience of teaching I feel like I just want to do something different, online also not an option due to vision troubles
