I recently moved across Canada and the place that I'm in doesn't have a huge amount of work options. I also do not want to end up homeless and need a source of income. I've been looking for work local but honestly dealing with people face to face stresses me the almighty fuck out. Working from home has never been an issue.

I'm just in a situation where I've got basically no work experience for the past couple of years. I'm trying to find work online in Canada but I don't know where in the fuck to start. Stress levels are pretty stupidly high at the moment too and I'm just trying to figure out something.

Use life experiences during those years as experience. "Took time off work to assist a family member with health care during their last days"

Your future boss doesn't really care what you did as long as it wasn't a drug induced blur. Just make up things that are plausible but difficult to question or verify ;)

I have been a hiring manager in Washington State and most of the time we just want to see something in those boxes, something that will tell me about you. Most of what is important is the interview. Everything else is just words on paper.
