Where I live, it is so hard to find a job, due to the poor economy. I have been unemployed for about a month now, and I'm about to go crazy! Even fast food restaurants are not hiring! I start college soon, and I will not be able to afford an apartment if I do not find a job. Is it also hard to find a job where you live??

Jobs are scarce everywhere. I recently posted a job opening for my company and had over 150 calls on the position. The bad thing is I only had one job to offer and I had to narrow the field down to just one person. It made me feel terrible becuase I know how bad the situation is for everyone. Don't get down though, make sure you network with others that are job hunting. This is how my sister found her job when she was laid off. A friend of hers had called about a job only to find out that she did not have the skills required to preform the job but knew my sister did. The friend called my sister, told her about it and even helped get her the interview (I guess the girl knew someone there). My mom has been unemployeed since June, but lucky for her she is of retirement age this month. So she will apply for social security and give up the job hunting.

Wow, I bet it was tough narrowing it down to just one person. It really is sad how hard it is to get a job these days. Thanks for your advice! Happy myLotting!

You are already MyLotting so keep it up. Also, I used to work in a bank before and resigned. Hard for me to get a job ever since so my attention went to earning online. There are modest earnings for me for now. Please add me as your friend so I can show you a thing or two on how to do it. This may be the answer to your problem. Thanks and good luck!

Hi princess! Earning online could be a good part time job. It would be slow at first but as long as you have guidance you could go somewhere. There are a lot here in mylot who earns money online and you should read some posts about earning money. You would be shocked how much you would learn from it.

im a college student as well. jobs are so hard to find because of the economy. since i cant find an actual job at this time, i just go online to make money. mylot (i just started though, lol), glpbucks, ebay. but of course all of them have its ups and downs mylot: takes so much posting to earn! glpbucks: GREATTT SITEE. wonderful referral levels, instant cashouts, great promo/contests (if you are expecting to find a lot of money online, i suggest you do GLPBUCKS) ebay: you can sell stuff online. selling stuff isnt really my thing, so whatever floats your boat! :)
