Just my own observation, but here you better speak spanish and english if you want to work in any type of retail. Quoting: WinningjobSorry Winningjob, I like you a lot, but that requirement is total B.S. Why? This is America, not Mexico. Last Edited by arosebyanyothername on 12/03/2009 09:08 PM |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 825807I'm looking for work everyday, which is an expensive to do without money for stationary, computer access, stamps, travel money, food.. just to keep you from feeling sick from hunger, & of course money for decent 'interview' clothing. I'm multi-skilled, but none of the certs & courses account to nothing in the past, they're out of date!, doesn't cover health & safety regulations. I get no feedback or interviews anyway, not a chance in a million years of ever get trained up for anything.. even tho' I know I'd be really good at it. I'm just sorting out lose ends/affairs.. so that I leave a clean slate.. destroy any skeletons I have by xmas.. then I'm off to find out if there is life after death. Without a job, there's nothing to live or die for.. so I've decided to opt for a quick violent death by new years eve.. unless I can get a job by then. I feel simply, destroyed..! I live a dozen floors up, so I'd dead in about 2 seconds..!! Don't give up. You'll find something eventually. |

My husband's been out of work for similar reasons, but he's taken a job stocking shelves at a department store. It's not pleasant, but it CAN be done. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 822153I guess it's all about choices. If you don't choose to take just ANY job, okay - but there are jobs to be had out there even for the "overqualified". My husband is a degreed professional with over 12 years of experience in his field. I hope he's proud of himself for taking a job away from some now homeless teenager. |

Rubylocks User ID: 833052 United States 12/03/2009 09:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "Can anyone get a job" Technically no. Not in the US...there are laws against child labor and such. But other than that, pretty much anyone has a shot at employment. There are companies that will hire ANYONE to do crappy work. What the country lacks is "minions" willing to do that crappy work. The person that was laid off a job that paid 100K is NOT going to take a job washing cars or pushing fries...but that same person COULD if they CHOSE to. People wonder why and complain when companies employ illegal aliens yet those same people sit at home on unemployment and whine that there are no jobs and complain that the government is not doing anything about it. God Bless the USA |
scottc (OP) User ID: 817448 United States 12/03/2009 09:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | what i have noticed is that, as unemployment goes up, there is a certain segment of the populace (probably most) who believe anyone can still get a job no matter what. no matter how many jobs the usa has lost over the past year, according to these people, there's no reason why anyone who really wants a job can't have one. that is simply bullshit. |

So for those of you unwilling to find a job because it's below your standards, get a job, any job. It doesn't matter what it is, there are jobs out there. Quit living so high on the hog! |

Quoting: scottcUntil they become unemployed, they will never understand. They think they do. America is nothing if not the land of self-righteousness. In the end though, when they finally lose their job (and they will; we all will), all of that holier-than-thou attitude will be gone, and they will know what it's like to suffer at the bottom. I doubt any of them will survive. |

Rubylocks User ID: 833052 United States 12/03/2009 09:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There are some people that are just not employable because they give a bad impression...probably unbeknownst to them....those are usually the ones that can't see why they aren't getting the job, even with a stellar resume. And who the hell would trust statistics? Polls, statistics, ratings??...you have to research WHO conducted those so called statistics and find out WHO funded them. It is interesting to see how the company that funds the research is one that is typically affected by the results. How do you think drug companies get brand new "vaccines" approved, marketed, and distributed to millions before it's even tested for safety. We can make the data say anything we want it to. |

W.O.W. User ID: 833122 United States 12/03/2009 09:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I had a life change experience in April 2008 just months before the "manipulated economic crisis", truck accident, broke my back in three places, two fractured ribs and was hospitalized for a week. My back recovery took over 10 months even though it still bothers me. No surgery thank the Lord! I was a mason laying brick, rock and cast-stone. The job I had before my accident was paying $20 an hour working 60 hrs a week the money was great especially getting overtime. But now those masonry days are long gone, was in the profession for 8 years. With the economy going downhill and having to find another profession that will pay above minimum wage my options are few and far between. Seriously you can't make a living on minimum wage, it needs to be at least $15 hr. If our govt. really gave a damn about "We the people" they would have raised the minimum wage to even out the cost of living. I have looked for jobs, filled out apps and still unemployed. What next? I don't really know but if the cap and trade and Obama's universal death care goes into affect how do they honestly think getting their $$$$ from us? Their One World govt. will be a failure and will definitely backfire on TPTB. Our nation is climbing to 20% that are unemployed, Obama said today they have created 1.7 millions jobs, really Obama? Purple lying lips do you think your supposedly 1.7 million jobs has boosted the economy? |
