Pray straight to God this is a good prayer.
God, our Father, I turn to you seeking your divine help and guidance as I look for suitable employment. I need your wisdom to guide my footsteps along the right path, and to lead me to find the proper things to say and do in this quest. I wish to use the gifts and talents you have given me, but I need the opportunity to do so with gainful employment. Do not abandon me, dear Father, in this search, but rather grant me this favor I seek so that I may return to you with praise and thanksgiving for your gracious assistance. Grant this through Christ, our Lord.
or just pray from your soul/mind/heart..
and if you'd like to ask a saint for intercession St. Cajetan..

It doesn't work that way.
If you want to make a request, pray to God, not to a saint. But he still will expect you to get up and do the work to go out and find a job.

Pray to St. Joseph for Employment
Dear Saint Joseph, thou wert thyself once faced
with the responsibility of providing the necessities
of life for Jesus and Mary. Look down with fatherly
compassion upon me in my anxiety over my present
inability to support my family. Please help me to find
gainful employment very soon, so that this heavy burden
of concern will be lifted from my head and that I am soon
able to provide for those whom God has entrusted to my care.
Help me to guard against bitterness and discouragement,
so that we may emerge from this trial spiritually enriched
and with even greater blessings from God. Amen.

CAJETAN
Also known as
Cajetan the Theatine; Cajetan of Thiene; Cayetano; Gaetano; Gaetanus; Gaetano dei Conti di Tiene; Gaetano da Thiene
Profile
Venetian nobility. Studied law in Padua, and was offered governing posts, but turned them down for a religious vocation. Ordained at age 36. In 1522, Cajetan founded a hospital in Venice for victims of incurable illness.
Cajetan was aware of the need of reformation in the Church, and felt called to enter a religous community to serve the sick and poor. On 3 May 1524, with three others, including John Peter Caraffa who later became Pope Paul IV, he formed the Congregation of Clerks Regular (Theatines) at Rome with the mission of fostering the Church's mission and reviving the spirit and zeal of the clergy.
Founded a bank to help the poor and offer an alternative to usurers (loan sharks); it later became the Bank of Naples. Known for a gentle game he played with parishioners where he would bet prayers, rosaries or devotional candles on whether he would perform some service for them; he always did, and they always had to "pay" by saying the prayers.
Patronage
job seekers; unemployed people

Why not pray to St. Joseph--he had to supply for the Holy family? Also do you think Jesus could refuse either him or his Blessed Mother?

You pray to God/Jesus only. Do not pray to saints.
