Have you registered with your state unemployment office, with monster.com, etc?
I am NOT meaning to in any way be critical, I am simply worried for you, and hope you have a plan for action.
Are you willing to relocate? I've read that North Dakota is having SEVERE difficulty filling all sorts of jobs, many people have moved there for the new oil boom, and I've seen mantion that ANY companies not directly affiliated with the oil rigs CAN'T find enough help.
Surely, a population of well paid oil rig workers would like to purchase new cars, right??
I have been with every online site, Texas employment commision. I have looked out of town and out of state. I am 56. This and no degree has much to do with the luck I have had. I was making 6 figure income and have been turned down for 9:50 per hour jobs as customer service reps on the phone. I was the number 3 sales rep for Wells Fargo in the nation. Now I can’t even get a customer service phone job. I have at my own expense taken 5 weeks of schools to become an insurance adjuster. It cost me 5K and I passed their assesment with the highest score in a room full of seasoned adjusters. Still companies that advertise for adjusters want 3 to 5 years experience or a 4 year degree. With so many people out of work, the few jobs open are looking for college degree or experience. I can’t tell you how many Sales rep jobs I have applied for. I can’t get past the degree thing. Of course I must be the worst interview in the world because the few I have had did not even call me back. And I thought they went well. I can only think its my gray hair.
