Are You Unemployed?

[gaylasue]

My husband went for his unemployment hearing yesterday.  We're hopeful about the outcome.

I hope you got the response you were looking for!

Yes,  I was laid off in April and havent had much luck getting a job.  The highlight of my day now is seeing how many rejection letters I got in the mail today.

Keep the faith.  The right job will come along.  You may have to settle for a little less than the perfect one for the time being.  I am blessed with a new job but am keeping the faith the perfect one will come along soon (need benefits!).

ive been on my own since i was 17. i just got and lost my first job ever because i got sick and missed too many days. so i came here and a few of my neighbors said they would pay me for babysitting and cleaning. i wont ever have to leave the house anymore! HUZZAH!

Actually, I lost my job just yesterday!     From the same company who laid me off a couple of years ago.  I had been back with them FT again only since January and things just weren't working out.  I had a pretty good job already when they asked me back and thought things would be better there, but now I realize I should have stayed at the job I had, now I have no job and not likely that the job I left to go back to the company that let me go again will take me back since they had to find someone to take my place.

I've never even been employed. (Only 17, don't worry. It's not like I'm 25) I keep searching for jobs but they all say they want experience. Well how can I get experience if I'm never give the chance to get any? It sucks because I have to move out in seven months (Hence why I'm doing all I can to scourge up some extra money like being on this site)

In the same boat and so sorry to hear you are there too!  I think the biggest challenge is keeping good thoughts going each day.  It's a tough market and challenging to keep the motivation going when the feedback from the market is slim!

Best of luck to you in your search.

Thank you for the good luck wishes.  I was just reading in my newspaper today that the unemployment rate for my state (NC) has gone up again for the third month in a row, up to 9.2% now.  How disheartening.  It's one thing trying to find work when you know there might be work out there, another trying to find something when you know there's not.  What do you do?  I am still trying to stay positive and believe that everything happens for a reason, but dang it's hard sometimes lol.

nope, I am a college student good luck to all who are searching for jobs out there. It'll happen eventually. Hope "eventually" is soon

I have a job, but it is as a substitute teacher, and right now I have no income because school is out.  I am also a student and it is hard to find a summer job, especially when they find out that I will quit in August, once school starts back.So , I rely on sites like Fusion Cash to help increase my income during these times

My son is 16 and is in the same boat. He's applied to almost everywhere he could think of in the area and not ONE phone call. A lot of adults are taking over the retail and food industry jobs that you'd normally see teens working at. I'm not hateful, everyone's gotta eat right? It's just hard out there.

As for me, I can't complain, I really feel blessed. Been at my job for 13 years, great pay, great benefits, stress free, wear jeans and sneakers everyday, work Mon-Fri 8-5pm and paid holidays.
