Seriously how many people dont have a job on here!

[Street Burner]

This ****** is ridiculous what are we suppose to do as americans to try and find a job. You look all day for a job you have experience in, or a degree in and there is someone working a job they got from a friend or relative that they have no business working it. Something needs to change soon or this country is going to screw its self. Let the rich keep getting richer and the poor suffer because we didn't make the rich even more money.

If you dont have a job right now on the forum. Lets vent!!

[Bu11dogg2]

<---3 months unemployed

It sucks

[MsSwagglebottom]

I'm employed...not HAPPILY.... but hey

[Jrlewis0550]

Yeah i just quit to go to fire school.

[dayman]

sounds like you need to move to a socialist country. our economy and govt is built on survival of the fittest.

yeah, it's just that simple isn't it. Just keep working hard and you'll get rich. Right?

[Subyspeed]

call the union leader for jobs. I called and i just got a paper root that pays more than my last job and i only work 21 hours a week now

[Street Burner]

Well when you have a good career doing log home design and the owner has to close the business. And you get laid off because he's to stupid to realize that pre-economic crisis ways of thinking don't work anymore! At age 24 I shouldn't be the one thinking that we needed to restructure for these tough times. Then I am the one told that we know what were doing, and then i get laid off two weeks later. Company is closed now, but for the people that are in these high positions thinking that younger people's opinions don't matter is what drives me nuts!

I feel a song coming on

btw. my neighbor has been unemployed for over 6 months now. i heard her on the phone outside yesterday turn down an offer for 83k in boston. sound like unemployment life might not be so bad.
i wish it was that easy :unamused:
living off 235 bucks a week is damn near impossiable.
Specially with what i like to do for fun.

Luckily i barely still have a job. (and what i mean by barely is they lay us off temporarily every once in a while)

No i will not take the excuse of "maybe you should change your life style then"
cause cars are my life... without them. I have no life in a sense. That may sound stupid.. that may sound whack. But ya know what damnit its what i like in life and nothings ever gonna take that away from me.

[Street Burner]

you think its hard finding a job at 24? imagine being laid off when you are 55. there isnt an employer out there that would touch that.

btw. my neighbor has been unemployed for over 6 months now. i heard her on the phone outside yesterday turn down an offer for 83k in boston. sound like unemployment life might not be so bad.

Why would she do that? I know all about older people losing there job, i just moved from michigan. 30-60 year old people with no job now in the big three and most of them have no college or anything. It sucks when the hole your trying to dig yourself out of gets deeper and deeper every day.

[squeethebee]

I've been unemployed since november, lol (:(). I only get 233 a week, what must she have been doing before to make 500+ a week!!! By the way, looking for jobs you don't want to work at, and not even getting those = suck.

Oic. well.... must be nice.:hide:

[ValuePack]

I've got *two* jobs, but most of you on unemployment are still making more a week.:)

Good luck, all.

[unsakred]

i has no job now :( damn economy..

[Seraphinwolf]

I almost had no Job back in January. I work at Foss. I was walking out of getting all set to start school again and got a call that I had to decide in 40minutes wether to go to nights or take the layoff and wait till they start hiring back. I took nights and still did 2 classes. Now that class is out we are too bussy and they won't hire more people yet so I've been workin 60hrs a week cause they'd rather pay the overtime than hire even half the people they need to try and catch up on orders. I'm a work a holic with an expensive swap going so I'll take the OT. I'll say to anyone who has put off schooling or is planning on not getting any. GO TO SCHOOL! Student loans can pay just about all of stuff and when you get out ussually schools have connections to get youa job if you can't find one before hand AND eve just doing like 1-2 classes a semester is a good idea.

[will_c]

see anything at liberty that looks appealing? what is your BS in? walmart distro center is always hiring and pays better than fast food

My degree is in Biology :unamused: I'm going to go to medical school eventually, but for now I want to do something with my degree to get recommendations...

[morbidgorilla]

[SubyFr3ak]

I've applied for over 75 jobs in the last 5 months with only 2 interviews and nothing else. I know how everyone feels. Just say I may not be going back to college because of it.

[ishredNH]

The economy obviously sucks and i've had a tough time finding a "real" job as well. So i pretty much became the master at finding odd jobs. Other than OSG part time This is what i've been doing:

This is my primary:

http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/tryanfx603_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZ

This is secondary:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FOREX

I've also been researching a way to make extra cash using google and twitter. You post advertising links from google adsense (i think thats what it is) in tweets and you get paid. When i start i'll let you guys know how it works/goes and what the "catch" is.

All of the above is done from your home computer. I'm no billy mays but there's lots of opportunities on the internets if you look hard enough :-) I know a lot of peeps are out of jobs and/or going to be losing them soon. I have no problem helpin a brother out! If you find other stuff like this post em up.

Let me know how it goes... I'm a Software Engineer, so I know my way around computers waayyy to well (probably too well for my own good). I usually don't trust some of the stuff online cause of "catches" so let me know how this one goes, I might join ya!

When you say software engineer, do you mean programming? If so what languages do you know?

[MsSwagglebottom]

So the eagle Times in Claremont just closed and I got some insider info yesterday saying the Timken in Leb will be laying off about 70 people very very soon (All of 3rd shift plus more) damn... This means i so cannot quit my crappy job grrrrr...
Meanwhile if ANYONE has softlines experience and wants to manage a chick store let me know...West Leb

[Subyspeed]

The union leader is still looking for paper delivery people. Ya the hours are weird and you work every day but its easy and you will still have the whole day to do whatever you want once your done. Once you sign the contract and own the rute you can take days off whenever you want as long as you pay a temp or a friend to do it for you but they dont know how much every day is worth so just give them half of what your day is worth that way u still get money without having to go in. Thats what im doing so i can make it to NEFR this weekend. Even if you gave them half they will still get around $50 for only 3 hours of work and u will get $50 for nothing. Its a Win Win

[GC4-RS]

^ good friend of mine was a night supervisor there; laid off with no notice and no monetary severence pay; just a phone call saying last night was your last :unamused:

his severence pay: taken from office, new 17" monitor for his PC :rolleyes:

[Subyspeed]

wow that blows but at least he got the monitor :ninja:

[-=The Boss=-]

You mean at least he stole a monitor?

[GC4-RS]

ya apparantly beacuse the paper employed less than 100 people they dont have to give severance pay :unamused:

and now we dont have a paper in this town but im sure we'll be getting call from the Union Leader pretty soon :lol:

[Bu11dogg2]

call the union leader for jobs. I called and i just got a paper root that pays more than my last job and i only work 21 hours a week now


buddy of mine makes 48k a year and works 5 hours a day 4am-9am 7 days a week.

[Subyspeed]

exactly! its not that bad plus since your sub contracted you can right every little thing off on your taxes

[SubyFr3ak]

When you say software engineer, do you mean programming? If so what languages do you know?

C, C++, SNOBOL, Java, PHP, SQL, HTML, XML, XHTML, Perl, Ocamel (wont ever use it cause its PAINFUL!), Aida (same way), python (a little bit), smtp, and some other crap I cant think of at the moment, lol.

careful with tying military and bonus together in these times. make sure its in the contract...military doesnt have a problem getting people right now and doesnt have to give you money if youre begging to get in.

reenlistment bonus money was shut down for the Navy. people arent getting out as fast right now. no jobs for them.

jen still hasnt found a job down here in va. she is always told she is over qualified with her degree. interesting times.

[Quadsbc]

Woot! monday I started my new job! Athletic field maintainer for Taft school. They even feed me breakfast and lunch!

[R-raid]

go to school. study hard. work hard. interview well. network well. get a good job. work hard. study hard. get promoted. profit.

its that simple. its not that easy.


wow quote of my day right there, sounds professional

[Oscar_Meyer]

profit...

:rofl:whats that?

[Jon]

Looks like i might be starting some land scraping friday. Got a couple of days in the past 2 days working for the guy i plow snow for in the winter. One of his workers thought he was worth 45+ a year landscaping. Brian, the owner, laughed at him and said he can leave whenever to go find it! So i'm pretty sure i'll take over his place for the rest of the season until i find something better in the spring.

[Desicus]

go to school. study hard. work hard. interview well. network well. get a good job. work hard. study hard. get promoted. profit.

its that simple. its not that easy.

downside is if you mess up just one of those areas its a black dot on your resume, and they dont want you.

because her unemployment check is big enough to support her living standards and the US is full of spoiled employees thinking they are underpaid. She is in her mid 30s as well.

the reason they think they are underpaid is the celebrities they see flawnting about in their ferrari's and lambo's who seem to never work and only goof off. so the work force thinks to themseleves "well im working hard why cant i have a ferrari or a lambo?"

also, US military is hiring. huge sign on bonus as well.. up to 50k i believe

ill believe that when me **** turns purple and tastes like rainbow sherbert.

army if your going to a war zone MAYBE but other than that most definatly not.

Dont worry everyone we voted for Obama and "its time for change!!!"

yay sarcasm font

I sure as hell didn't vote for Osama. He can keep his damn change.

you didnt get the memo about sarcasm font did you?

that is most definately true. they are kicking people out of the navy for the smallest of things these days due to the economy.

[rs44]

i jus got laid off.. used to be a tech for ryder truck reantal... couldnt have come at a worse time either....lol

[Desicus]

that sucks.... start collecting that unemployment!!

[Street Burner]

I Finaly started a job this week after 5 months and then found out my girlfriend lost hers the same day. Guess I will be paying all the bills now!

[jonny-rockets]

C, C++, SNOBOL, Java, PHP, SQL, HTML, XML, XHTML, Perl, Ocamel (wont ever use it cause its PAINFUL!), Aida (same way), python (a little bit), smtp, and some other crap I cant think of at the moment, lol.if you are proficient in these languages you should easily be able to find work. do you not have a degree? are you not willing to re-locate?

i'm a bit puzzled why smtp is on there. you program mail transfer procol? that doesn't even make sense.

[cman7]

i'm a bit puzzled why smtp is on there. you program mail transfer procol? that doesn't even make sense.

...Maybe he sets up outgoing mail servers :lol:

I've consistently had a job since 2006. Two of them actually. i work hard, just don't have the paper that gets me the fat paycheck yet.

I understand its a tough job market but honestly if you want a job bad enough I'm sure you'll find one.

If you don't you either have a bad rep or you're not trying hard enough IMO.

[Bigzach88]

i work in IT i replace parts on computers at Aetna in hartford its not the best job in the world but hopefully getting my foot in the door in the IT world and i can move on to bigger and better things. in the mean time though its a lot more then most people so i cant complain.

[civic si hb]

I've been unemployed for 22 weeks (5 months+) now after being a ast. store manager for Circuit City and put in 8 years with them. I just got my ext approved today though for unemployment though this does help out a little.

[valvestem]

Too bad, I got the boot after 11 years with MBNA when Bank Of America bought them out. I managed to land a job with out landscaper who used to care for the property. It's not too bad, but I took a huge paycut, that I still have not made up even after 3 years.

So hang in there, the key is networking, don't be afraid to ask anyone who'll listen if they are hiring or knows someone who is. I found the newspaper ads to be just about useless all my life when job hunting.
Goodluck.
