'Got the job search blues...
Edited on Thu Feb-17-05 06:05 PM by Kazak
Day 3 unemployed.

Registered for unemployment yesterday.

Applied with three companies today...no immediate luck.

I am severely hating every minute of this, I've been gainfully employed for ten solid years, then *bam*. I loaded up Yahoo! this morning and the first headline I saw in the news section was: "US jobless claims hits 4 year low".

I feel like a number.

:puke:

1. Go to Craigslist.com
it's a very good website for finding jobs.
Best of luck to you!

2. The job market has changed since 10 years ago.
Work your personal network. Identify companies you'd like to work for, then go to them in person.

Good luck. I could use some too.

3. Just got a rejection call
I have been unemployed for 21 months!!! I have a master's, ten years experience, and know multiple languages. In the past 21 months, I have had 10 interviews (phone or campus)! I wish you better luck than I am having!
