| twesterm said: I can believe it. Either you're looking for a minimum wage service type job and just aren't looking or you aren't putting the effort into finding a career type job. There's also the possibility that you're looking for a job you're just not suited for but let's ignore those people and assume people know what they can do. For the minimum wage service type jobs, all it takes is looking. You may not want to work at McDonald's but if that's all there is, then that's what you get. Places like fast food, Wal-Mart (in the store and stocking/warehouse), and other jobs people generally consider shit jobs are always available. If you can't find one of those, you just aren't looking hard enough. For jobs that require some sort of training and could be a career type job, those take work and time to find. Looking for 3-4 months for a job may sound insane but it's normal. When you're looking for one of these jobs and it doesn't feel like a full time job just looking, you're doing ti wrong. You have to be constantly searching, revising your resume/cover letter, sending out your resume/cover letter, (hopefully) interviewing, and following up. You really should be spending all day every weekday on this. If you're just waking up when the sun is warm and staying up until 4AM playing games, you are going to fail. And if all else fails, see the above paragraph. |
Thats a pretty bold statement that simply is not true. Of the 40 some apps I have put in in the last couple weeks most are these kinds of jobs. I was jobless for 7months or so awhile back and it does not matter where you put those apps in. I was even a 2nd asst, at a Mcdonalds that I worked at for over 4 years. You would think I would be a shoe in for the Fast Food jobs, but no not at all. When I apply all i am applying for is crew.
