I think she's still hirable, but just for another analyst type position like the one she left. That's fine, its a job you can be proud of and it makes way more than the average salary nationwide.Speaking of money, is she even “hireable” at this point? She has not worked in over a year and the pandemic has made jobs a lot more scarce. I know Elle is notoriously lazy (I doubt she is looking for a high stress, demanding position), but I also am not 100 percent convinced she is unemployed at will. I have a friend who was laid off well before the pandemic started (end of January) and she is still looking for a job. Unlike Elle, my friend has consistent work experience and was laid off because her company was bought out. Fortunately my friend got a severance package but still, she doesn’t want to sit on her ass at home all day and has been sending out resumes for months.
On some level I sympathize with not being able to find work (I still have traumatic anxiety from the 2008 recession which “Ginette” on YT claims Elle also had to overcome ), but at the same time...why the F are you in a state where you have absolutely no connections and barely any American work experience???
She's not going to get taken on for any sort of job that would require her to practice law. She's not going to get hired for any position that would allow her to cover her current living expenses and maintain her monthly shopping burn.
But, to get hired for that analyst position with everything going on now, she'd have to be really aggressive. Be dropping a dozen applications a day. Think of things she could do even if they are different from what she did. Business analyst for a small tech co, public utility, industrial company, etc.
Problem is she doesn't want to work, so she's not going to be aggressive in looking for jobs. Compounding the problem, she doesn't have to work, because her mother and side hustles are giving her the lifestyle she wants. Until her mom cuts her off, why would she bust her ass to get a $80,000/year job when she is able to live and shop like someone making $150,000 without having to do much more than string beads for an hour a day?
Also I think she's in Seattle for the same reason she has 4 Rexy sweaters and 3 Boy Bags. It's expensive, trendy and a show of 'worth' in her world. It has nothing to do with job prospects. I am sure she sold the idea to her mother that it was an excellent place to look for work, but she also knows her mom is enough of a pushover that she won't actually have to get a job.
