I am signed up with all the local agencies, check craigslist.com every day, set up on Monster, Hot Jobs, Indeed.com and several others. I have lowered my starting wage, and am getting desperate as my unemployment ran out last week. I have been searching for 6 mo now and no luck, seems that all any company wants is a 20-something with big u know what's. It seems like experience, dependability, and someone eager to work doesn't count for much now days.
I don't mean to sound sour or bitter, but it's getting rather depressing to go in for an interview and when u get contacted back or u call back, the jobs always been filled.
Any one with any kind of suggestions, ideas or solutions, PLEASE respond, I'm getting desperate.

Since your unemployment has run out, this may not work. But I know there is federal money going to the states to continue unemployment while a person gets training. I am in an 18-week program to learn Microsoft Office products and a variety of other programs, but this is California. As I say, it's federal money, but the states make the rules. Still, there's nothing to lose by checking it out. Go to the unemployment office and ask a lot of questions.

You'll have to look at waitressing jobs or something in a factory, punching out widgets. Sad to say, but your age is really a limiting factor. I'm 48 and have been truckin' for 13 years, so I can do that until my health fails.
You could try starting your own business...

Try getting a government grant and open up your own business. I'm sure there is funding for women . Try telemarketing, they don't care what you look like there. Good luck .

Don't worry, you are going to get a job. Go to the supermarket. I don't know why, just go.
