I find it kind of hard to get a job. But when I have one it seems so easy to lose. Hmmmmmm! You say lose ? HuH ! Yes but of I would say not of my own fault right ! Right ! A companies turn over rate is higher than thier employment rate. Think about it ! I mean for someone like me I have some college under my belt but no degree, but I work well with others as well as alone. Wait ! Back to my point; when trying to get a job you are like everyone who is applying to the same position unless you know someone who can get you in or you pay a person to get you inside. So here I am waiting for some company to get me my big break on the casting couch; just to get rid of me when they have no use for me any longer, or someone is an a**, or cutbacks are needed or the one I love -you are to qulified for the job.

In my opinion,,even though i'm presently employed your attitude and the way you present yourelf are most important. Just because you have a degree,, it doesn't mean shite. Naturally , people tend to become arrogant when they have an education. Treat your superiors like your brother or sister and be as humble as possible. Even a little criticism about them might bring a few chuckles from them proving to them that you are uniquely confident and sociable. Unfortunately, from what I observe the people who keep to themselves and smile rarely are the ones that are less hireable. long story short; humour and socialability are like the salt and pepper to your spaghetti. Remember,,to boast is to roast,,then you're toast..

To be in demand, you must have skill that are in demand. Maybe you need to think about developing skills in an area that interests you that is also an area where people are in demand. You also need to think about how you are on the job. Do you make yourself indispensable by always going beyond the call of duty? Do you anticipate needs or always wait to be told what to do? Do you work efficiently or stretch out the work to fill the day? No matter how hard you work, you may sometimes be laid off, but if this keeps happening to you, there is something wrong with you. Either you are not as good an employee as you think or you are pursuing jobs in the wrong companies. It may be time for you to see a career counselor and really evaluate where you are going with your life.

Most employers are looking for degrees these days for anything that pays significantly more than minimum wage. And I know it's not fair when they tell you you're overqualified, but they constantly worried about someone asking for too much money. You've gotta make yourself stand out but don't exaggerate or lie to get the job.

I have no trouble in keeping a job, I got hired twice in last two months after being self employed for over 10 years . One company hired me and then another came out with a lot better offer so I took it. No problem the right attitute, good workmanship and delivering what they want, that is what counts.
good luck

Sometimes, guys like us have to start at the bottom. I have a degree (psychology), but it isn't helping. I haven't any experience and people that do consider hiring me figure that I might do more harm than good.
Companies outside of my field feel uncomfortable with me, like I am going to be psychoanalyzing them all day long. That is not how we are taught.
I would work anywhere, and start at the bottom, but not at minimum wage, please.

Job is only hard to find when the applicant is unable to meet the requirements . Or you become choosy to accept any available job offer. Or your expertise may be not in demand. Or must relocate to find a job.

I really think there is alot of dicrimination even if you are qualified for a job.Many of us have more experience than most.What companies
need to do is not base their hiring expertise just on education.But can we train these people? .How long to train? Because companies have actually interviewed people with education,and no experience whatsoever.

It's hard to get a job because all of the jobs are going to immigrants here or foreigners in other countries!
