Difficulty having a J.O.B
 
Hey guys, is anyone having trouble finding a job. I have applied to over 15 companies in the past month and got 2 rejections so far, I have apply to almost everywhere I could think of, Wal-Mart, Publix, CVS, Walgreens, Target, etc. I didn't think it would be that hard. Where are you currently employed at?

Have you also tried temp agencies? My sister got hired through one of them and now she is an HR coordinator.

I guess what we didn't remember when we applied for DACA was how bad the job market was...

From my point of view, the job market has been pretty bad since 2008... I hear it's getting better?

Looking at future trends in the field of education, however, if CIR does require people to learn English, there is going to be a great demand for ESL classes... just a thought I've been having.

Yup!!! Over 50 apps sent and only 3 interviews. Employers aren't offering me a decent wage and if this trend continues, I might end up accepting a low-wage offer.

And I have almost 10 years of experience!!!! half as a supervisor!!!!!

It's slow right now so I'm hoping things pick up soon and thus more offers will become available....

Hang in there, you're not the only one struggling.

I just started to applied like a week ago so I can't say I'm in the same position. I've also applied to retail stuff. Best of luck to everyone!

Nowadays you gotta have somebody hook you up with a job, filling out applications online is pretty much a waste of time.

Becareful when filing applications online, I think I got scammed fuck me.
