Yeah.. I’m still without employment. I’ve been out of work since I was laid off at the end of 2008. Unemployment ran out over a year ago and I haven’t been able to find a job. It’s not that I haven’t been trying…. the job market sucks!!
I’ve applied for or sent out resumes for a lot of jobs. I’ve had a few interviews but either I get a rejection letter or rejection email (which comes without even getting an interview). Either I’m too old (56) or over qualified. The younger, prettier ones get the jobs. The older, not so pretty ones get the shaft.
I want to carry my weight around here but I can’t without an income and I can’t bring in an income if no one will hire me. It’s a damn viscous circle that I just can’t seem to get out of!!

Did you know that my life sucks? No?? Really?? You should try standing in my shoes for awhile. I guarantee you won’t last long. My internet is major suckage, I live in a freakin’ camper, I don’t have job and it’s not for lack of trying, my hubby is a royal PIA (pain in the a**).
I haven’t been posting for awhile but I figure maybe I should just get on here and let out my frustrations… so be warning more bitching and moaning to come!

I just can’t find a job to save my soul. There is just nothing out there. I’ve even tried doing a sales job search and nada, zip, zilch, nothing.
I send out resumes and either I don’t hear a thing.. ever, get called for an interview and hear nothing or get rejection emails without even so much as an interview. How can you reject someone without even talking to them? How would they know if I’m not right for their company without a face-to-face? It’s no wonder people get discouraged and depressed. Depression has become so common lately.

There are still no jobs out there for me. I look every single day. Before I was able to find something to send my resume in for but for the last month or so there hasn’t even been a job selling contemporary coffee tables. I just can’t find a thing and it’s really getting very depressing.
No being able to find a job is causing a lot of stress and hard feelings around here. I feel like such a loser and failure. Is it because I’m too old and they’d rather hire a young person? Does experience not count for anything?
What can I do? Not much.. just keep looking and hoping the job market gets better soon.. real soon.

A new decade starts tomorrow. I have just 2 resolutions. I’m not resolving to workout on my treadmill because I don’t have one. I resolve to find a job and get out of this camper and into a house either a rental or we’ll buy one. I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to keep those resolutions.
What resolutions have you made for the coming year?
Happy New Year everyone!
