The best thing I can tell you is to accomplish something that will add to your resume. Add some charity work, study Excel and Access or some other application until you master it. Try to seek out ways to gain any knowledge and contacts that you can. Its hard, believe me, but you'll see some light soon.

Re: Being unemployed really sucks
Hows everyone doing with this now? Nobody has posted in here in nearly a month, Im having the same brutal luck that I was having before and Im at my breaking point now. I hope the guys who were here posting about needing a job have had good luck finding one and are just not posting about it.Comment

Re: Being unemployed really sucks
The thing I hate the most about the job search is the time it takes to apply - interview - 2nd interview - sorry we are going in another direction BS.Hows everyone doing with this now? Nobody has posted in here in nearly a month, Im having the same brutal luck that I was having before and Im at my breaking point now. I hope the guys who were here posting about needing a job have had good luck finding one and are just not posting about it.

Re: Being unemployed really sucks
Best of luck man, I applied there here in Oregon as well and never heard anything. Im starting to think that Im just doomed, when I cant get a job at Fred Meyer, Albertsons, Target, K-Mart, Bi-Mart, UPS or any other job thats considered easy to get normally, then Im in severe trouble.Comment

Re: Being unemployed really sucks
Chef, I think they are hiring for Christmas helpers. Check their website., Also, since you live in Oregon I know The Postal service is hiring too. I think I saw 3 jobs in the state of Oregon that are available. not sure how close you to them but take a look. I just looked and there are 4 jobs available in Oregon.Best of luck man, I applied there here in Oregon as well and never heard anything.

Re: Being unemployed really sucks
Still unemployed.......Hows everyone doing with this now? Nobody has posted in here in nearly a month, Im having the same brutal luck that I was having before and Im at my breaking point now. I hope the guys who were here posting about needing a job have had good luck finding one and are just not posting about it.
I hear you there Chef. I have sent out about 40 resumes/applications so far without a hint of an interview. The best part is that my company that I used to work for now won't return my calls/emails regarding some things from my severance package (like COBRA information which I still haven't gotten).
I am also moving out of my current pad (also since the house was sold) and moving into the upstairs of a house my brother and his wife are renting -- saving a few bucks a month on rent.Comment

Re: Being unemployed really sucks
Sorry to hear that guys, hopefully someone breaks through soon and gets a job. Ive even relegated myself to applying at Albertsons (local grocery store), Fred Meyer, Wal-Mart, Target, K-Mart, Bi-Mart etc and I still havent even gotten a call back for an interview. Now I could apply at a place where I can work from home making squat but Ive gone down that road already and worked 3 months without even making 150.00 so clearly thats not worth the time and effort to put into it. Its a brutal market out there, if anyone gets a job dont hesitate to share as it might give some of us a little more confidence that we can break through as well.Still unemployed.......

Re: Being unemployed really sucks
I'm bussing tables right now and my pride is in the dumps! However it is money and will pay my rent until I get to join the police academy January 12th.
But damn with my background I feel like such a loser!Comment

Re: Being unemployed really sucks
Hopefully the job market will improve by May. I don't want to graduate and not be able to find a job.

Re: Being unemployed really sucks
Well, got some "good" news today. I went to an open house for a staffing agency a few weeks back. Just got a call for a position starting December 1st.
The $$ is less than what I was making, but in this day and age - I can't complain at all..Comment
