First off, I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Secondly, I've been job hunting on and off for several years now. I'm still unemployed.

At first I wasn't too concerned. I kept telling myself, "I'm taking college classes anyways. Working will take time from college."

But now I am a college graduate. And I have no excuses. And I'm STILL not being employed.

Heck, I got more interviews while I was in the process of getting my degree than I have with a degree! 

I blame most of it on the economy and there being sooooo many other unemployed people out there who are also looking for work.

I feel I must question something though. I keep seeing jobs that I more than 'qualify' for, as in I could most certainly do them just fine and without any fuss, but these jobs require things like: "At least a year of blah blah blah experience".

Now I've had a job before. But that during high school and it wasn't your typical beginners job. I was a warehouse worker. I worked with stock, shipping stuff out, keeping things organized, etc. I was also the janitor. So I kept everyone's workplace clean as well.

I LOVED that job. Physical labor makes me happy. However, such a job gave me no 'customer service experience'.

Guess what just about every employer wants you to automatically, somehow magically have?

So yeah. I'm a good, hard worker who learns quickly and puts her heart into what she does. Be it cleaning toilets or whatever else I need to do. I don't complain, I do my job, and I don't waste time. So WHY can't I get a simple, minimum-wage job?! 

It's a question I doubt I'll have an answer to any time soon.

I understand your frustrations, believe me. I only have 1 part-time job that I've been able to keep, which has me on the job search deal as well. What I do to keep myself from feeling discouraged though is this:1. I thank God for what I do have right now. 2. I remember that God is in control and that while I may not always understand the steps he takes in order to fulfill his plan for my life, he doesn't expect me to. I just have to do my part and trust that he will do his because I know that whatever he has planned is going to be far better than anything I could possibly have planned for myself. He'll point you towards the right job Sada. I hope that helps. :hug:
