They set it out there for all the to see and abuse. Tons of garbage jobs all across the usa are in those stupid job updates and nothing in your area. and jobs that have nothing to do with your experience, Sales men jobs, phone jobs all garbage worthless jobs. It does no good to keep send emails telling them to stop sending worthless work to your email..they are all illiterates.

There are tons of people with skills greater and lesser than yours. So what makes you stand out? Your personal relationships. If you're an introvert, it's a challenge, but a necessary one and you'll actually like yourself more for having pushed yourself out of your shell. I have been nearly bankrupt 3 times and it was those 3 times that the next call was within my network and saved me. Network, network and network.

I was that 22 year old (now almost 25) who can't get a real teaching gig despite being fully qualified to teach math OR science at the high school level, having PERFECT grades and test scores, tons of volunteer experience, applying in high need (read:ghetto) districts and being "young and cute" as you say. All I ever hear is that no one will hire me unless I have 5 years of experience....which I will never get unless someone gives me the chance!!!! The true victims of this recession are the young people. We went to college and got good grades and did everything you told us to do, and when we got out with all of our loans, there were no jobs for us and no one will hire an inexperienced worker. the statement that the cute 22 year old just out of college always gets the job is ridiculous, especially in teaching.

Big business has been cutting us off for many years now, it has only become painfully obvious in the last two (or so) years. What annoys the fire out of me is the short-sighted MORONS that believe that this mess is Obama's fault! You cannot totally annihilate an economy, especially of a great country like the USA in two years by making a few slightly misguided choices!! It takes more like eight years of outright stupidity and deceit!! Wonder to whom I could possibly be referring?? Bush and Chaney!! History will bear witness to the many lies and crimes perpetrated by this "dynamic duo!!" Unfortunately, I fear, that before it becomes the "popular" explanation of this sad state of our economy, that those same short-sighted MORONS will vote in more completely stupid and criminal (if that's even possible) REPUBLICANS and we'll be descended to the next excretory level!! (Yes, I did just refer to sh*t or excrement.) This is why, when I complete my Bachelor's degree in Health Care Management, I will then continue on and get my Master's in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. After all that, I will open my OWN Natural Wellness Clinic. Oh yeah, just for the record, I am a 44 y.o., 260 lbs, female, Veteran (8yrs USMC; 4yrs Michigan Army National Guard- Honorably discharged as a Sergeant). And yes, with all my various experience, I have been unemployed and underemployed for over two years now!! Blessings. Nicolaas,

If you are well qualified with many years experience, why don't you become a contractor? You are without employment anyway. Getting a DBA costs under $100 and you get to file your taxes under Schedule C, which means you can deduct all sorts of expenses related to your business. Then go and see the companies that could use your services. Find out what you could charge and start building up your own clientele. Pay yourself a small salary on W2; the rest remains in the business until you can afford to incorporate. If you get fit finding business instead of a job, you'll be up and running real fast and never get laid off again. It worked for me since 1974. Started just as you all are now.
