So who else is having a hard time finding a job?

[erickm713]

I applied to about 15 places, and only one called me back.
I got a interview at Sears tomorrow, in all honesty I know I'm gonna be working with a bunch of old people, but oh well a jobs a job.

Its hard there. I got a degree and apply for jobs that I am overqualified for and I still don't get them.

Keep hope alive. I just got a job at Bank of America. Look for job fairs and try staffing companies like Ranstad.

Most of the places I walked in too and talked to the manager and tried to get good with them but nothing, Sears was online only and right after I finished the application it scheduled a interview, if Sears doesn't work out I guess I'm going back to plumbing, even though it's hitting triple digits here in Texas

This cant be life...

I've been trying hard, man.

Traditional job finding techniques will rarely work in times like we're experiencing today.

Quality heavily outweighs quantity when searching for a job. You have to be proactive and market yourself to companies you would like to apply for. Simply sending a resume or filling out an application isn't enough. Everyone is doing that. EVERYONE. Go introduce yourself to the higher ups. Let them put a face to the name.

Right now your job is finding a job. Keep pushing, eventually it'll work out.

This is correct. Start networking.

Go to craigslist.com. Click on your state and then look under the jobs categorey. THey have all different types of jobs available. Or if you are just looking for part time job click the last choice under the jobs section which is labeled part time. Hope this helps!

You know, I've looked through Craigslist before, but I never noticed they had a part-time section 

Thanks dude
