I lost my job in July 2008, have NOT been on unemployment, and have been actively looking for work. THERE ARE NO JOBS. I wouldn't wish bad on anyone, but it does seem like some of you really need a wakeup call as to the situation in most areas of the country. And it's even worse for older citizens like myself, who are looking for work. I really hate having to go through my savings because I can't find a job, with over 25 years of solid, steady work experience. At this point, I don't care if it's minimum wage, parttime, or whatever, as long as it's something. There are millions of others in the country in similar situations who are in worse shape than me, and who are losing their homes, cars, credit, etc.
But just go ahead and be a smug ignoramus when you don't know what you're talking about.
Please let us know what city and state you live in. I will provide you with a list of potential jobs showing that there ARE JOBS. Hopefully we can help you get employed again.
I'm on the Maryland shore, right at the beach area, and can travel between the Maryland and Delaware beach areas.
If you think you can look at the job listings and find all sorts of jobs, you're wrong. Most of them are actually scams, trying to get you to buy their employment services, get your personal information, or worse. There may be a couple a week that are legitimate. I apply for everything that would be possible for me, but if you don't have the exact skills they are looking for (and this could be as simple as a different software version), they won't consider you. Most positions advertised receive several hundred responses, so you rarely hear anything back from them.
