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!

Andi has been looking for a job since she got back here. She had one interview but no job offers yet. She’s done everything except for doing an Oakland Job Search. She really wants to get a job in health care but so far no bites.
Drew is looking for a job too. He’s a heavy equipment/diesel mechanic (US Army trained). He just got here last week so he’s just starting his job search.
I’ve been out of work since December 2008 and have sent so many resumes out that I’ve lost count. I’ve gotten a few interviews but never any job offers.
There has to be something out there for us somewhere and as soon as we get jobs and save a little money we are either going to find a house to rent or even possibly buy. We found a program for 1st time homebuyers that seems like a good deal and since we haven’t owned a house in over 3 years we qualify as 1st time homebuyers again.
Keep your fingers crossed for us that we all find jobs and a home!

I mentioned, several times, how we need to find a place to live and that I’m still looking for a job (not having much luck). With all that said I don’t know how we are going to be able to get a house and with the holidays coming I don’t know how we are going to be able to afford to buy everyone holiday gifts.
We might be able to get 1 small thing for each of the kids but that will be about it. Hubby and I probably won’t be exchanging gifts but we have to get something for the grandkids.. at least. I love Christmas.. it’s my favorite time of year but I feel so bad when I can’t give everyone gifts like we used to. Hopefully things change, money-wise, before then.
