Title: Jobless and in need of help
Post by: shannonts on September 19, 2009, 03:02:55 PM
I have been unemployed now for 2 months and I need a job badly. Is there anyone here in the united states able to get me a job? Im at a point where I would move any where in the continental us for a job. Hell, any job at this point!!!!

I have about a months worth of meds left, and my car broke down a few months ago. I am serious, if anyone could help I would be eternally grateful!

Sorry, Icelandic, have no connections, and am generally in too much pain to work much myself, but...

I can offer this advice. Keep applying. Apply for anything you "can" do as a job. And if possible, have someone who works with resumés look yours over and tell ya if you're doing anything wrong with it.
And 2 months isn't too long in today's economy.

Sometimes if you find a place you think you might want to work you can hang out become friends with the owners/manager, it can sometimes lead into a job. Visit every few days at first, hang out a bit longer each time you visit, and be clean, friendly, helpful, and generally useful any chance you get!

That's great advice, I've gotten a couple of jobs by doing this.
