M., there are a number of personnel agencies out there that would be very helpful in your job search. I would first seek advice on building your resume, and once your resume is done, I'd call some of the agencies. Perhaps an entry level clerical, receptionist, admin job would be a nice change of pace from your retail/restaurant jobs, and could potentially offer you better pay, insurance benefits and opportunities to advance, as well as steady, 8-5 hours. Good luck!
