Don't waste your time going to local places unless you are certain they are hiring and even then you would just fill out apps - they don't need resumes + unless you have work experience, you can't even have a resume! What you do need to do is look online at the job websites and apply there: indeed / edjoin / careerbuilder / your State and City websites are good choices.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
