You know what? ---Having no job sucks!
I have only been out of work for a little more than 2 weeks but I'm already worried. Today I received a phone call for a interveiw, but I had to turn it down and apologize for even applying and wasting their time. It was a receptionists job and I don't want to settle for one yet because I have a college background for clinical jobs and being a receptionist for a period of time would only dampen my chances of ever getting hired where I can use my skills. She was rude, but I can understand her furstration---plus when I went back to look the application over to see how I could have missed the actual job discription I can only imagine how many other people did the same thing as me. This is getting frustrating trying to find a job, I'm trying not to be picky; I just applied for a chiropractic office, they said they would train anyone who doesnt have experience in that feild. I know this job would probably narrow down future jobs for me, but at this point I cant be too picky that I never find a job. And I guess I can interview them first before I poo-poo them completely. Sitting around on my *** all day has made me think about a lot of things... like--- in 5 years, what will my life be like; will I still be a unemployed depressed loser with no social life or partner? Or maybe I will turn into that cat lady who lives alone? ---Oh wait, thats already happened=( ...Damnit!

Hey, Everybody needs to feel good about what they do, so don\'t sweat turning down the receptionists job. The choiropractic one sounds better and if you\'re not happy you can look for another job while you work there. Believe it or not when you have a job you\'ll get lots of offers for other positions! And whats wrong with cats? :) OK if you have 10 maybe thats overboard! LOL Steve
watch out for jobs that train you for a field if you sign to work for them. truck driving CDL position are normally like this. theyll send you to school, then require you to work like a year or two years for them. its a rip off, and youre better not working for them.
also watch out for insurance companies that promise you emplyment, which ends up being you,a lone, scouting for people to trick into getting a rip off insurance polocy, so that you can get 40% of the sales the company makes off of that person.
