OK, look, unemployment sucks. Bigtime. It is not a joke or an opportunity. People who have a job have structure to their lives, money for gas and groceries and a purpose.
Our society should have a place where people can go and apply for jobs other than Indeed and crap like that where no one responds and you stay unemployed forever. People want to work, but the process of finding a job is miserable.
If it was easier to find a job, this depression over losing a job wouldn’t be so intense.
We hear about all these available jobs going begging—where are they?
I don’t know about anyplace other than here.
There are ‘Now Hiring’ and ‘Help Wanted’ signs all over town. Even sign-on bonuses being offered..............
But most require real (vice fake) work.
They also might not be for as much as a fired GS-10 would like
But they're out there. Get some kind of job that brings in something and keep looking for a better one
Bottom line, don't despair. You'll get through it.
NEVER SOUGHT OR FOUND A JOB ON THE INTERNET
GO TO COMPANIES & APPLY-—ASK THEM TO KEEP YOUR INFO FOR THE FUTURE
HELP WANTED ADS MAY HAVE DROPPED SEVERELY-—BUT DRIVE THRU YOUR AREA & WATCH FOR THE SIGNS IN THE WINDOWS.
A PAYCHECK FOR DOING SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING AT ALL.
I DID JOBS THAT WERE NOT MY FIRST CHOICE-—BUT I PAID THE MORTGAGE.
I am retired know, but you basically make your own job if you get hired. How do you get hired? That is a question for the ages. I've run in to some speed bumps along the way, but it eventually worked out. State unemployment systems offer job referrals, but quality seems to be low end...
