If I don't find one soon then I'm gonna have to move back home (and I hate my hometown, so this is not an okay option with me). Everytime I talk to my parents lately all of my frustration boils over and I end up crying. Then I feel like shit for the rest of the day and cry at any little thing because I'm already in that place in my head. I've pretty much been crying since Friday, and I just got off the phone with my dad which didn't help at all. I hate the economy.

I totally understand your stress. I went through a little crisis not to long ago where I cried like every day. I have a job, but a lot of people were getting laid off and it freaked me out. Good luck. Like sweet banana cake said, take what you can get for now. Something that will get you by until you find something better.

I'm pretty much applying for everything. I have tons of experience as a barista, but so far I haven't even found any coffee jobs.

Like "I need a job as a nano stuffer, and that is the only job I will accept!" Instead, go find any job that is open. At least you will be making an income.

My advice is to try temp agencies. It's not the best, but they'll find you work. I hope everything works out. hugs

When I was there last a couple of weeks ago, the market was dismal. No one was buying at all. One of the companies I had hoped to work for in the future is hanging on by a thread.

I had one within a week of signing up.

One of my other roommates works in Finance and fears for her job every single day. Even the retail jobs are hard to come by because there are so many people unemployed right now. And pretty much no one I know is getting temp work right now because, again, the demand is so high.

My Company went bankrupt last November and I have been looking for a job since the beginner of December. I have been to a bunch of employment agencies but they are all very slow right now, nothing happening! We'll see, I have been applying like crazy so hopefully I will get something happening soon! Good luck with your search!!!!!!

I went to college and made good grades and then went to law school to get a good job. Now I can't find one. I cry and feel like life is not worth living. Then I realize so many people are going through the same situation right now. Hopefully things will get better soon. I apply for any job and still don't get calls b/c I'm over qualified.
