I am looking and can vouch first-hand for how bad it is out there.
Nothing that MADE IN USA won’t solve. About everything you buy is made somewhere else. Bring the jobs home.
I'm not in the "favorable age" group and have been out of work since the end of September 2012....I have had two, count 'em two interviews....one person told me in no uncertain terms that I was too old for the job then tried to back track when I pointed out age discrimination. The other interview went just the same only the person didn't actually say the words "you're too old".......secondly, there are very few jobs out there and the job I lost in 2012 is now paying about $4 less an hour than what I was making at the time and there's a lot more responsibility now.
Me too, been looking for awhile now. People who are employed have no idea how rough it really is...
Personal networking is the best way to find something. Forget about the online job sites and all that - they can give you ideas about who might be hiring in your area, but you've got to show up in person and get in front of someone. Otherwise, your resume will land on the pile with thousands of other victims of the Obamaconomy.
Drop me a line if you are interested in or have experience in insurance and/or financial services and I'll see what I can do for you.
it took me 5 months to find a decent job in PA. Finally I got hired by the “Evil Empire” {aka UPMC). its a good job with ok pay and swell people.
Good Luck in your Hunt.
