Answer 1

You are by no means a loser dear, so please do not ever feel discouraged :
...If your CVs have not generated job offers, it is possibly due to the fact that they do not create the right kind of impact.
...Place yourself in the shoes of a personnel manager - who has to pick and choose only 1 Applicant out of about 80 persons, just on the basis of their resumes. What would you do, then ? Would you not select the ones with an original and interesting approach - to call for the initial interview ? And would you not select the most cheerful, and optimistic one from among them, for the job ?
...With this in mind, now revamp your present CV - making it more reader-friendly, and more like a personal letter.
My gut-feelings tell me that you'll turn out to be a sure-winner !
Best of Luck, dear.

Maybe you're just in the wrong town. When I was 21, I spent a horrid year and half turning in an average of 25 applications a week. I was right out of college, had no experience. Man, it was awful. Here are some tips:

1) Volunteer. As long as you're not getting paid anyway, why not go to a library or university or charity or something and ask if you can do unpaid volunteer work. You'll get experience while you look for work, and employers, believe me, wil be very impressed because it shows that you want to work.

2) Get out of town ASAP. Not long after I did my volunteer work, I found a job, hated it, quit it, ran out of money, then borrowed money from my dad and went to live with my brother. Within ONE MONTH, I had a job. So it could be just where you're living.

3) When all else fails, why don't you look in some ESL journals and think about teaching overseas for a year.

Unfortunately, everybody wants experience, and you can't get experience if no one gives you a chance. My advice is that if you've got somewhere to live (at home?) and money's not a big problem while you're out job hunting, maybe give part-time volunteer work a thought. Work out a regular schedule. I worked part-time for a couple of weeks before they gave my a minimum wage job.

Good luck. I know how you feel. Ten years from now, you'll see how the frustration you feel now will make you a better employee in the future. I appreciate every place that gives me a job and I work hard because I remember those days when I couldn't get work. Again, Good luck. This really is a temporary problem. You'll get through it.

Being out of work can be soul destroying at times.
If you look at your situation you have the qualifications & education, the willingness to work and (hopefully) you are good at your job. Having these things you are expecting to get a job almost immediately. Unfortunately this is not the case.
The truth of the matter is that you could be waiting around for another 6 months before getting a job in the field you want. This is mainly due to the fact you are unemployed at the mo, your age and working experience & the only way to solve these issues is to get a job!!

The jobcentre is almost useless these day due to agencies placing most of the adverts (some of these jobs don't actually exist) but agencies are probably the way to go. If you put your CV on Jobsite or Monster all that will happen is you will be bombarded by agencies taking personnal details and requiring intro interviews.

The best way to go is short term temp work, usually 4 - 8 weeks. If you keep your head down during this time there could be a job for you, if not at least you have been paid for a few weeks & gained a bit of experience.

It will get better eventually. Promise.

Don't be despondent - keep trying and you will find something.

Remember the CV only gets you in the door try to find out why you were unsuccessful. Sometimes it's just that there are so many people out there and the employer just wants someone to fit their needs at the time.

If they say no ask the employer if they would be prepared to give you advice for the type of job you are interested in and just say you may interested in otheroppotuinties with the organisation.

Try to prepare for the interview - what sort of questions are they likely to ask and what sort of questions might you want to ask and also make sure you are reasonably enthusiastic. Dress for the type of job, make sure you are dressed appropriately and tidy.

And one thing do not lie about anything - you will be find out - if you are not sure about something it is best to say you don't know or ask for a clarification.

Please don't give up - you are young and you will find something you like.

First of all sit down with a drink and a cake/ice cream / chocolate! WHen you have relaxed a bit think about what things you enjowhether it be a subject you studied at school/college, hair and beauty, plumbing or fixing cars, aeroplanes, absolutely anything! THen you need think about how you could use that in a career. THe next step is to find out more about that career and whether you need to do any further study or training (talking to a careers advisor may well help) and take the appropriate courses.

WHen you're qualified you can apply for jobs!

Try looking for a career rather than a job.

Good luck!

Answer 6

First of all you are not a complete losser that you should know!!
It is just that life treats us all in different ways and in your case it has been uneasy.One thing I want to say is KEEP GOING!!
There is a time for the sun to rise up as there is a time for the cloud to vanish!
hang on and keep on looking for a job only when the right time comes,then you will taste it and enjoy the heat of the sun.
It is uneasy I know but just remember that there is someone out there looking for the qualification that you have.Wait for that call and then beleive me ;you will see------

If you live in the uk and been on benefits for six months they government have a scheme called New Deal which helps you to get into self employment. Then there is the prince's trust who can help under 30s. Perhaps you could do better working for yourself. It was justs a thought and Good luck. Im from UK also

Answer 8

Work temp--you get to try out the job, you get lots of different experience and see if you like a place first. They often offer you the job because if you're nice, they'll want to keep you around. The only drawback, if you want to work steady, you have to do work that is "beneath you" but that's not so bad.

Answer 9

Try temping for a while. It's good for morale as you're always in demand and it's not permanent, so if you get fed up, you can always move on. It's a good idea for getting a 'feel' of what you want to do, and the money's not bad either. Good luck!
