where i live there is just nothing, every job i have applied to haven't wanted me, really am i that stupid or what!! i am open now to the idea of moving even if it's across the country or even another country if it comes down to that. been looking at a lot of job sites that have listings in other states but i don't know if applying to any without living close by i worth trying? just wondering how others in different states feel about the same thing?

The medical profession is a good one to get into. Being a CNA doesn't pay that much but it is gainful employment.

Haliburton is hiring tractor-trailor drivers for $125,000 to start in Iraq. Dangerous job though.

north dakota, wyoming is full of job openings. basically
no experience needed. it's working in the oil and
gas fields. tons of jobs, but hard to find a place
to live. good luck.

here's a link to jobs in san antonio, http://www.indeed.com/l-San-Antonio,-TX-jobs.html

I hear you. I am going through the same thing. Sometimes I wonder if its even worth it. There are no jobs anywhere. Not really any better anywhere else.

Job hunting is tough these days. You're definitely not the only one having trouble.

Connecticut has a tough job market right now.

Mid-west usually has jobs available. Might not pay high, but regular honest work.

I think a lot of places do have jobs available that don't pay much. Unfortunately, much of the time, they do not pay people enough to afford to live.

My son in law was just called back last month after being laid off 3 yrs....Gradall in Ohio... jobs are almost nonexistent here also..

My local hospital keeps trying me to work for them as a CNA. I'm too busy taking care of my Mom and Dad at home.

This town is dead mostly, nothing to do. Springfield CO.

Not true. There are jobs.

Personally, I don't have time for a job.
I'm too busy.

What do you like to do? What are your interests?

Follow your passion.

If you can weld heavy plate, do cnc machining, or heavy assembly, there are tons of jobs in Milwaukee.

If you got a strong back and know anything about the oil business, or
can drive a truck there are tons of jobs in North Dakota.

If you want to work in 40 degrees cutting up steaks, Garden City Kansas Meat packing plant will hire anyone. Its hard work. And cold.

If you really are interested in overseas, then try Darwin Northern Territory Australia,
Depending on your qualifications, but we are just putting in a gas line, the mines have heaps of jobs , if you have any driving experience, there is heaps of jobs, machinery is the same, building as well..

A lot of the companies will sponser you if you have any qualifications, We bring in workers from all over the world as we don;t have enough.

The best way to get a job is to do voluntary work, preferably in the field of the job you want, or sometimes that isn't feasible, so any sort of voluntary work. It looks good on your resumee and shows a prospective employer that you are not just sitting at home twiddling your thumbs. These places that take volunteers often have funds for your travel expenses and sometimes provide lunch money. That's in the UK anyway, but I am sure that could be in other countries. Hospitals, schools, charity offices etc., they all need people. You will also make new friends and contacts. Often it is not what you know but also who you know. Good luck.

Volunteer work doesn't pay the rent or put food on the table. If you have that taken care of, then maybe volunteer work might get you somewhere, but don't count on it.

Just make sure the volunteer work is something you like doing.

Then your are at least getting something out of it.

I've been working for a company for the past 11 years. I've brought in over 2 mil in sales in 2 years. I've opened 280 lucrative accounts in the past 3 years. I build computers, type 120 wpm, come in 2 hrs early every day without pay, manage the office n the warehouse. I love my work, love my job...and today I was fired. I work for a man who tells me that I am fat, my breasts are too big and my butt is not big enough. He told me 2 wks ago to go "f" myself, he's volatile, on mood meds, disrespects everyone that works for him and continuously I have to mediate between him and customers. Today he called me a moron, we had an argument and he told me to get out, I'm fired. I was so so angry, I did what he told me to do, I left. He sends me an email a couple of hours later telling me that if I behave I can come back tomorrow morning. He knows I need the job, I find that I am living paycheck to paycheck. So tomorrow I will go to work, eat crow yet again...but today I called the competitor and I have my 3rd interview with them on this Sunday. If I get this new job, I would like to take the car that my boss bought for me and park it on the damn loading dock....the things we have to put up with just to earn enough money to just get buy.....
