Do I go look for employment if I plan to leave California, and go back to New Mexico in 2 months?

Question

I am here visiting my sister on vacation from New Mexico, and I am thinking about going back to my home in New Mexico because, it seems like I can not find a job, no matter how much I tried!

I am homesick, and I miss my family there very much! It is very difficult looking for work when, I lack the "Work Experience." I want to work but, employers want someone who has at least 2 years expe
I feel that my surroundings are very unfamiliar, and I feel lost and scared! My sister has helped me tremendously and I apprecia

I used to live in Bell Gardens, California all my life but, everything and everything has changed.

Sometimes, I feel so alone in this world without my father to guide me. My father died in October 1993, and I miss him very much!

He was the only person that I went to when, I needed some advice on everything. I did not realize how much he took upon his shoulders (family, personal problems, finances, etc.)

What would you do in my situation?

Answer 1

Everyone goes through this situation at first. Most of us are either underqualified or overqualified no matter what.
The thing that impresses employers at interviews is the impression of being a positive, sharp, quick study type person that can learn the ropes really fast. It is really a perceptual thing.
You are going to have to take whatever job come along first, and do your level best for at least 2 years before moving on to other opportunities.
I would suggest going to a community college and getting into a work-study program to build a resume with some experience.

Answer 2

I live in New Mexico so I know what it's like here. Just come back. If you have a support system that can help you get on your feet then go for it. You can find a job in most fields. Good luck.
