I graduated from college and have applied for hundreds of jobs. I got my degree in film and started with entertainment industry jobs, after a while i opened to anything. Right now it seems really impossible for me to get anything. I've had about 10 interviews at different places but i'm never there choice, i've been really close a few times but never in. I'm willing to relocate ANYWHERE and work anything as long as i can get full time. But nobody wants to give me a chance. I know i am a good worker and i take my jobs very seriously but i feel like nobody will even give me a chance.
I've tried online things, mailing, going in, and even a temp agency but nobody, nobody will do anything.

What can i do? I'm so lost, i dont even know where else to try.

I have great marketable skills but today's jobs require more and people are still losing jobs. I feel we live in an unstable society where jobs are hard to get and cost of living is still high. Guys I meet ask me what I do for a living and not what's my favorite hobby and such.

I was offered a job at a company, but I decided to turn it down. Three days after receiving the written offer, I wrote them a nice letter telling them that I decided not to take the position at this time. I got a nearly immediate response from the recruiter that they couldn't understand why I was not taking the position and that they had been very accomidating and I had waisted their and the company's time and that I had acted in a completely unprofessional manner and they and the client company would make sure I was put on their 'Do Not Hire' lists. I feel that the recruiter was not completely honest with the company and I would like to respond, but I am not sure that any type of response is prudent at this time. Has anyone ever had such a response when they declined a job and if so, what did you do?

I have a job interview at Dillards tomorrow at their shoe department. I've worked in the Belk (small clothes store in the south) for about 8 months, and have decided to go more upscale. The dress code at Belk was kinda laided back and casual. I know Dillards is more upscale. Anyway, ideas on what to wear and how to wear my make-up is much appreciated.

i just needed to go to school becasue working a fulltime job and going to school just is not working. So what ended up happening is they hired a new girl for me to train. See im the only one that really knows my job. So i been training her and she caught on great. Well today i went in becasue i told my co workers that i was done training and was going to get on with my life, but i found out the new girl is leaving. So which means that makes it worse for me becasue now i need to wait for them to hire someone else that i could train for my position. MY Question is should i just leave becasue i did give my notice 2 weeks ago? Or is it only right to stay and train again! Since noone there knows my job. It is getting hard on me with my school.

My friend told me that it is. But, let's say you have a co-worker that you worked with for a long time who is a great reference but they move to another town. Or, let's say YOU move to another town, what then?

Well let's say Person A works everyday of the week, but Person B works only one day of the week. Will Person B still have as much job experience as Person A because Person B has been there for that week as well (on a application for another part time job)?

I had lost my job about a month and a half ago and since then have put applications all over town I live in a small town and the jobs here are very few. I don't have any kind of transportation so I am limited to where I live. My lot rent is past due my bills are all past due. I get alittle over $200 a month in child support and with that I have to pay someone to take me to get grosheries. I want to stay home and work but I can't seem to find a good work at home oppertunity that I can financially aford to start. I was scheduled to do online classes but couldn't pay for them so now I don't even have that to look forward to. I don't know what to do so if anyone knows how to work at home or any advice in general it is greatly appriciated.

An Associate Or Bachelor's degree is too expensive at this stage of life. My greatest strengths are creativity, resourcefulness, and empathy. I need a guaranteed, part-time income ASAP. As far as selling goes, I'm more persuasive creating written materials than I am in person. I tend to be friendly but reserved. Any advice is appreciated.

It seems no matter what kind of job I get, I simply can't keep them.

It's not the work, I don't mind the hard work. But it's the people. I just can't deal with them, I'm so bad at dealing with people...

Anyone have any advice on how I can keep my job? I'm working at Sonic at the momment, but I'm so close to quiting because I can't deal with the stress :(

I work part time in an office. My boss keeps adding the amount of work he expects me to get done, but he won’t increase my hours. We keep having the same argument…he says “Why isn’t this done?” to which I reply, “Because I didn’t have enough time to get it done”. He doesn’t seem to understand that I don’t sit around eating Bon Bons at my desk; I am working as hard as I can and still spinning my wheels. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

It's a long story, but my last business venture did not pan out. I got a job doing paperwork at flu clinics during school hours, but I just got my schedule, and I would only have 4 days to work over the next two months. I am deeply disappointed.

I need to work during school hours to be a good mom. (Or at least the kind of mom I want to be.) And I'm not going to sell "stuff". I am a very well-rounded and talented person. But having to work during school hours makes it difficult to find a job.

Ok here's the deal, I applied for a job for which I interviewed for and know that it went well. When asked how much I was looking to make I said between $34K & $36K/yr simply because I figured that if I said anything more they question why since I was making about $31K previously. Now, I've found out that someone else from where I use to work at before also applied there. However, the differences are the following:

He's been there 5 1/2 yrs. I was there 2 1/2 yrs.

He worked in data management, I worked in contracts.

Although they won't know this till either of us begins working there, I know that the quality of work put out by us doesn't compare (I have the upper hand.) not to mention that the other person is not as reliable.

And finally, He's asked for $50K/YR.

I know that they've asked him to come in for a job offer later on today, he knows he won't get the $50K/yr and has mentioned he won't take the job.
