You pay for your breakfast, then grab an abandoned breakfast burrito on your way out, eating as you walk down the cold street.
Normally you'd never bother to wear out shoe leather on a job hunt, since no one gets jobs that way anymore. But you also have an investigation to conduct, and you've learned to follow your nose. And since you don't have a phone, a laptop, or much time, you can't spend all day on Indeed trawling the job listings. You need to get up in someone's face…without scaring them to death.
The downtown area has a minimall with a bookstore, some fad-diet food markets and restaurants, and lots of vaguely exotic knick-knack shops. You hit every single one and no one is hiring. Not "get out you creep" not hiring, just fully loaded with college students and underemployed graduates desperate for paying work. But an entire morning spent talking with retail clerks, baristas, and tired postdocs gives you a few leads on where to find work.
For a werewolf, jobs are a question of balancing your Rage with the demands of employment. Customer-facing work means you'll have to keep your Rage in check, but even if you work stocking cans, you need to hold it together around bosses and co-workers. You'll also need a job with flexible hours, of course. And people who are willing to ignore lots of weird shit. And you don't have a car.
This won't be easy.
I want to interact with normal people: what about barista or restaurant work?
This town is full of academics, and I've passed three or four bookstores already. I look for library or bookstore jobs.
I want a job where I can use my brains and my hands: maybe a garage or some kind of repair shop.
Dangerous outdoor work tends to pay well and lets me work alone. I look for roofing, logging, anything like that.
Groundskeeping or waste management will let me work alone and when other people aren't active.
I am a living weapon, and I need to keep my skills honed. I look for security work.
