Has you job search ever made you depressed?

Answer 1

Pffft... yes - the hardest job is finding a job.

Answer 2

Always...unless I really didn't need a job and was just looking to make my life a little easier. It's depressing because you feel like nobody out there in the world wants you if you're not snatched up and hired immediately. However, sometimes what happens is that more than one offer comes in at the same time...and then you have too many to choose from! :-)

Answer 3

YES!! It's so frustrating and depressing. But stick it out, you will find something. I started interviewing last October and I finally got a job offer about a week ago. I start my new job next week!

It took me 10 months and numerous interviews, but it finally paid off. I was so depressed and thinking no one would ever hire me and I would be stuck in my same dead-end job forever. But each interview you learn something so think of it as "practice" even if you don't get the job. You figure out what it is they want to hear.

I wish you the best of luck. You will find your dream job eventually.

Answer 4

Let me just say that I totally understand your situation... I was 19 though when I got pregnant with my oldest daughter almost 5 years ago. I lived with my parents at the time and I HATED it... they would blow my cell phone up wondering where I was and if the baby was ok and blah blah blah... I kept trying to save money to move out on my own, but I wasn't succesful until Sept. of 2006 when me and my mom got into a huge fight and she literally jumped me while I was holding my daughter in my arms... I moved out and have yet to return. It is hard to be a single mother living on your own and trying to raise a child with out someone there to help, but let me tell you, when there is a will there is a way. You might have to live in a one bedroom apartment for a while just so you can make ends meet or whatever but you do what you need to and as long as you and that child are good then there are no problems. Just take care of you and your baby, its not easy but you do what you need to to survive in this day and age. I support single mothers all the way. I was a single mom for almost 3 years and it is a very hard thing. I pray for the best for you and your daughter...

Answer 5

Driving a liquor delivery truck sounds like the alcoholic dream job, and it can be. But liquor store owners can be the whiniest bunch of babies. If we were out of stock on an item, they would take it as a personal insult, or accuse me of giving away to another store. To get even they would take their sweet time writing a check.
You would think that the distributor owner would have asserted our control over the market, as by law in our state you can only get certain products from certain distributors. Total monopoly. But no, the retailers walked all over us. They couldn't get the stuff anywhere else, but treated us like they could walk down the block and get it cheaper.
They would yell at the drivers like we had any control over any of this.
In the ghetto one day, I had a CUSTOMER try to pick my pocket. I got in trouble with my dispatcher for yelling at the guy to get his (expletive deleted) hand out of my pocket. I told my boss that I would never go back to that store again, and if he put it on my route I would just skip it. I didn't earn enough money to have a customer steal my wallet.
In short the powers that be, would $#!& all over the drivers and warehouse workers, while giving the salespigs free vacations to golf resorts and Vegas.
It was one of the greatest moments in my life when I saw the look on my boss' face when I gave my two weeks notice. The only reason I stayed there as long as I did was the decent pay and all the free booze I could drink.

Whoops! I just saw that I was totally answering a differnt question. I missed the word "search" in your question. Sorry for the huge answer that isn't about your question. I thought you wanted depression IN a job. Oh well it's points.

Answer 6

Try being 54 years old, living in a homeless shelter, feeding your adult son with your food stamps because he's unemployed, and you're not getting any hits back on your resume. Now *that's* depressing. Fortunately, I'm too mean to stay depressed for long - got mad instead, decided that *someone is going to give me a job*. Worked. Got hired where I am now 16 months ago, not planning to leave anytime soon.

Answer 7

It did.I went 4 more than 20 interviews in 3 months but all of them proved to be a failure and i am still searching on.I hope i will get a job within next 10 years.

Answer 8

Oh my God yes. I am in the middle of one right now and it is so stressful. About 10 years ago I was looking for a job as well and was so depressed that I was staying up late and sleeping in (which is usually a sign of being in the dumps, for me). It was horrible.

Answer 9

I absolutely dread job searches!

I kind of fell into my awesome job! I was at my Insurance agent's office, telling them I had just quit my job (which I hated). They said another agent was looking for a licensed agent for help in his office. I interviewed with him the next day and started the following Monday. I love my job, my boss, and my new carreer! I used to be a hairdresser (no money in it). I have been at this job now for 2 years!

Answer 10

Yes..... but I kept going anyways. Job searches are really hard. Just use your network as much as possible. Let everyone you know know that you are on the market & get out there. It's hard to get rejected, but you have to keep going.

Answer 11

No. It made me realize just how stupid the human race truly is. Most employers I have encountered will hire teenagers or convicted felons over military veterans.
With my high school diploma, military and college education, no one will still hire me. So I tell our children, no matter what you do, unless you know someone or are having an affair with someone, you'll never get a well paying job.
Education is meaningless.
