Its a shame how bad it is out there. I just got laid off friday. Im a union steamfitter but its something that happens to my trade alot. Lucky my family owns a trucking company where I can fall back on. Good luck out there and if I see or know of anything Ill let you know.

Professional networking to meet people in your field is definitely your best course of action to get a job. I got laid off 6 months ago and every interview I've gotten since then has come from people I've met at networking events, professional groups etc... Sites like linkedin help also.

My brother would hire you. Hes the manager at 5 Below in DE. I know he is understanffed.

^^ If it wasn't in DE i'd do it. Thanks though, i appreciate the help

Raymour & Flanigan is hiring .. I might be able to get you in if your willing to work..

The RF in Allentown? Whats the job description?

I'll ask my dad to see if his company is hiring(he owns a graphic design company.)


but then again you might have already applied.

Sweet whats the name of the company, and where in NJ?

I feel your pain bro, I'm in the same boat. I have been on 5 interviews. I have even applied to mcdonalds, yes thats right I did.

I have a B.S in Criminal Justice, but my background is in sales (5 years). I Was employed my HSBC, until april. I have my insurance sales license's but I refuse to go down that path. I was called by Aflac, New York life, Combined, Prudential and State farm.
I think I'm going to take my college off my resume and get a factory job somewhere.
I am so bored!

I'm actually at the warehouse in Quakertown. I drive & deliver. The pay is excellent, but you have to be willing to work your ass off day in and day out. But as far as Allentown/Quakertown stores are concerned, they have various openings available such as Salesperson, Customer Service, etc..

Hell most factories aren't even hiring, and if they were they want the most experienced worker with their related background :mad:

I'm gonna hit up Allied tomorrow. They might be able to help me out. My gf's mother was hired by Nestle through them.

dont fret
UPS IS ALWAYS HIRING
lol
(i will never do that job again if i had to)

The company I work for is looking for a few people in the area. It involves packing out lumber at Home Depot in a few locations on a route and there are a few open routes in the area. If anyone is interested, pm me some contact info with a phone number, address and email address and i'll forward it to my manager.

Finally found a job, posted in 1st post. thanks for trying to help guys! I appreciate it.

I finally got a quality job offer Friday after 7 months of applying and interveiwing.

congrats^^^ at least i found something for the time being until i can get a job in my field. Now it's time to check NYC bus trips so i can propose to my gf haha. I had to wait till i found a job because i didn't want to feel like a loser proposing lol. Prolly mid/end of october!

At least you found a job. I'm still hunting, waiting for people to call me back, if they ever do.

all i can say is keep pounding the pavement man, don't give up...If you get unemployment yet, if i were you i;d go to a place you want to work for and say "i'll work for free for a week for you so you can see what i have to offer to your company" see what they say/how it goes then...you're technically getting paid anyways from unemployment...

Does she live in NYC or are you going to take her up to do the proposal?
