There are many people out there that are just like me.
My job moved from me and ever since i have been unemployed.
I know that the market is low right now for a job but now days, with the gas
prices and looking for work it is hard to get any where fast.
I have been out of a job for about 8 months now and i have gone to every class,
every job helping place, even store to store, and phone book calling, i have posted my
resume on about 8 different job sites and have posted blogs all over, i am to my breaking
point when i see help wanted adds and help wanted signs i am trying my best to get work
and i don't understand with all the interviews i have had why know one will higher me. please if someone will help.
I believe and know that most people out there are working hard, i know that the market is down i believe that if people would stop putting such high hopes for most people not saying most people need help, but the people  it would help the people who are work smart. I know that i can work, i might not have a degree in most things or anything but working is something i know, something i can do. Like most people out there that are reading this it not that you didn't want to go to school or better ones education it is that you can't afford to . Please help me make a change, I know lots of people out there who work hard and ask little,who are trying to find there jobs who need to better there education. We need to stand together if it is going to change. Please comment back.:)

gee! I am really sorry to hear that! That sucks! It is frustrating. I do not know if it is entirely due to the economy. When I was looking for a job my dad said that sometimes you have to apply to 10 places before you even get an interview! I guess it has been like that for along time! Try retail. It can be very easy to get a job there. My manager came out and said "Let's do an interview" before she even looked at any of my application stuff. I hear that fast food is easy if your looking for any kind of job. Have a resume ready. Find someone to help you make it look professional. There are a lot of good tips online for how to impress at job interviews. Finding a job for this generation is very difficult. In today's world a person practically has to have a college degree to earn a decent living. I just finished my freshman year. A high school diploma does not do a person crap! In the meantime I just need a good job to get me through college. The minimum wage for this state is $5.15 an hour. That is so ridiculous! A person should be making at least 11 or 12 dollars an hour to live decently with only one job. No one is going to start you at that high of a wage unless they have experience or credentials. I have given up. I am just looking for a new job that I can be happy in since I moved. I would suggest that you do the same. Since no job is going to start you at a living wage just find one that you can stand to be in. I wish you the best of luck!

PS: My college classes are talking about how the US Government wants to wipe out the middle class so that there are only rich and poor people in our social classes because that gives the government more power! It is scary especially since were so young! I hope college pays off! I do not aspire to be rich. I am realistic, but I hope I can live a decent middle class lifestyle with my good education. I do not want to have to live in a hut! We should stand together to fix this problem. I just wonder what can we do as individuals!
