For the last 3 months I have been looking for a job in the same feild I've been in for 10 yaers, and I can't seem to find anything. I have a son and a girlfriend how give me tons of support, but I can't stop feeling worthless. I know that I am doing everything possible, like going to interviews, filling out aps, and not being lazy but the harder I try the worse I feel.
I know as soon as I land a job I'll start to feel better, but I am really worried that I may not find a job.

Normal, Normal and still Normal....Breathe & take a deep breath.

1. Start ...smiling everytime you pass a mirror...yes a big smile. You are happy because you are taking back control of your life. And practice smiling at all others!

2. Realize that your job is a stepping stone to your future...nothing more, nothing less.

3. Appreciate - start to write down 3 things for which you are grateful every night....yes start to appreciate what you have now. When you start to be comfortable with your life now, don't worry then your life will change.

4. Realize that the only thing that is constant in life...is change.

5. Now make a "what's bugging me" list...yes get it out...all of it...and write it down...what you don't like about your life now, or how you are treated by others.

6. Make a list of what qualities in others you admire, and see if you have some of those qualities. List what you want from your new job, what people you want around you, what future you want, how much education and skills you already have, where you want to travel, and what you want out of YOUR future.

7. Realize that the most important person in your life is you, and only you can make you happy, and take back control.
We all have ups and downs, and this is just temporary. So what....it's not permanent.

8. Now take that "what's bugging me" list and tear it up and throw it away. It served a purpose to make you face what's really bugging you, but that's in the past. Everytime you feel a "slump" time, make the "what's bugging me" list, and you now know what to do with it...after it's done.

9. Get back to your spiritual deveopment. YES, it's time to put GOD to the test. GOD loves challenges! Tell GOD how you feel, and ask GOD for anything. The only thing is.............GOD cannot fail. That's right the only thing GOD cannot do is fail. So that's a power you want on your side.

10. Appreciate the love in your life...and embrace the changes that are there too. Everyone changes and develops...like your son....so appreciate his and your girlfriend's love.

Now....where's that smile............and relax...YOUR tomorrow begins now.....The past is...just that past.

YOU have a right to a Rocking Life and a Rocking Relationship...now get started on taking back control and enjoying yourself....and smiling!

Remember...love is!

Have you considered learning a different skill in another field? Check into vocational training and
learn a new skill. That way you won't be so restricted. After 3 months of searching and not
finding employment I can understand why you are feeling frustrated. Try and keep a positive attitude
and a positive out look on life. As long as you don't give up in your search for employment and
don't give up on yourself you will succeed. Take
a deep breath, hold it, and exhale. Here is a smile
for you and a hug. Hope this helps.

I feel for you. Been there more than once. All you can do is keep looking and keep an eye on opportunities which offer advancement, even if it means taking a step back career-wise. I've done that a couple of times too. It's worked out for me.

It is important that you recognize how good it will feel WHEN (not if) you land a job. never lose sight of that.
