It gets very frustrating sending out resume after resume and not getting a call or going to an interview and not getting hired.

But on the upside my house is always nice an clean!

Hoodia contains a chemical that tells your brain that you aren’t hungry. I’ve never used so I couldn’t say for sure if it works or not. Stress is my appetite suppressant and it’s been working quite well for me for the past, at least, two years. The stress comes from having very little money, no job and worrying about how the bills will be paid. I’m surprised my hair hasn’t gone totally white yet. I do have some stray gray hairs that get covered up with hair dye though.

She was a medic in the Army but has decided that she doesn’t really want to get into the blood and guts of medicine anymore but would love to work in a medical office or hospital now. She saw enough blood and guts while she was in Iraq and that was enough for her.

I’m taking classes online to do book keeping in hopes I can find a job in that field when I’m done. I’ve been doing the classes for over a week now and I really like it and remember what I was taught about bookkeeping in my high school bookkeeping/business math classes. It’s funny how that comes back to you after all these years.

I can’t wait to finish up with my classes and get my certificate and add that to my resume.

Instead we go through things we have and see if we can sell them. If this keeps up and I can’t find a job we aren’t going to have anything left in our condo! There are a few things I wish hubby would get rid of but he refuses to do that. It would make life so much easier if he would just break down and sell those things.

Andi is taking classes too for medical stuff but her’s will take a lot longer than my classes will. Both our resumes needed a boost in the right direction and employers seem to want people with degrees or other specialized training anymore. It’s hard for someone who is self taught in things to get a job on their own merit anymore.

I’ve gotten 100% on the two tests that I’ve taken so far and will be submitting a third test in the next few days. Wish me luck with my online business degree classes!!

The other day I got a rejection email from the airport. They wanted a support person (secretary) and the email they sent said they wanted someone more qualified. I’ve worked as a secretary since 1988. How much more qualifications do they want?

The reason I haven’t found a job yet is that the job market for my type of work is not very good. There aren’t a lot of jobs out there for general office workers and secretaries. I was working at a temp job in 2008 and was laid off at the end of the season. The company decided, because of the economy, not to bring in temp workers in 2009. Because I was a temp worker I didn’t pay in enough to unemployment that the unemployment I did get only lasted a couple months. I have been without any income, except for a little here and there since April of 2009.

I haven’t given up. I’m still looking. I send out resumes and have even tried to make my resume better but either I don’t hear anything or I go to an interview and don’t get the job.

I’m sorry.. I just can’t feel bad for that guy. I don’t have a job.. I’m still trying to find one and I live in a camper. I just couldn’t see myself spending money on a house that you have to share with other people during the year. If I were to spend money on a house it would be one that my family would live in all year around.

The stress of not being able to find work is taking a huge toll on my life. I don’t eat much at all which has got to be one of the best diets that work of all time. My pants have gotten quite loose, which really isn’t good because I can’t afford to buy new clothes that fit. I’ve found a lot of new wrinkles and more gray hairs. Sadness and depression rule my life.
