Yeah when I wound up homeless, I started applying for lots of wage labor. I quickly found out they had no interest in hiring a college educated white-collar worker. I may or may not have discovered* that if I were to have changed my resume to all shit / labor jobs (while keeping everything else the same so I could remember the companies well), they would employ me. I would have been able to dig myself out of my rut and get stable employment in a factory until I could get back into tech.
After working in factory few months, I was able to get apartment. With apartment, I was able to get myself nice looking and clean and tech job.
My process from day labor/ homeless (save up enough for airbnb/hotel) -> wage job (save up for apartment) -> professional job at this point is pretty much a well oiled machine. Sadly the first two steps basically require dishonesty. I've only been through this a couple times in my life and hope not to again.
