Getting angry with job hunting....
 

UPDATE: I freaking found a job haha...

My grandmother rents to a manager at a warehouse near me. I'm going to be a"Picker" (whatever the F that is haha) for $13/hr....not great but it's money until i find a job in my field. It's 15 mins away. In the mean time i'm still going to look for graphic design jobs.

I will find out tomorrow if the walgreens distribution center out by kutztown is still hiring. It's a bit of a hike, but it's a job.

I feel your pain brother, my girlfriend graduated from Seton Hall last year with a degree in graphic design and hasn't been able to find anything in well over a year now. She's not applying to anything and everything but she has still yet to get even a single call back, it's ridiculous.

that sucks man, i feel for her too. I had 4 interviews in the 7 months.

Good luck finding a job around here

^^ thanks...i for kicks even applied for the new Steel Ice Rink's skate guard position and haven't heard back even after i emailed back asking if it was still available lol. I used to ice skate when it was the cool thing to do before we could drive haha

thanks dxman, i sent out resumes to them all!

Yeah I would say the worst thing is the 'overqualified' reaction. If you can dumb your resume down

for the (time being till i find a good job) places like target and walmart, i could take out my most current jobs on the resume and add in the places i worked at before i was out of school like Dicks and Giant Foods and Circuit City...maybe you're right....:mrgreen:

i wish i could get into SW&B in Bethlehem (advertising firm). I know a girl on here works for them and i could maybe get some pull (drives a black RS subaru, i forget her username)...i walked in twice already but they aren't hiring.


I wish PENDOT would hire too, i would love to make money holding a f'n stop sign...

Go ahead, my wife ends up doing it all the time

dude i hear you guys like year and half ive only had a couple call backs few interviews. owell going back to school to get my ASE so i have better luck.

Good idea, i'm going back to northampton cc in spring for 2 more classes in web design (if i cannot find something by then) so i have a dual degree in print and web.

i was in your boat until this week. i got a job at a car dealership washing cars but i knew the service manager. I was an electrician, but i have had to look outside my career path to find work. I've had quite a few of the "overqualified" inteviews. I HATE when your expecting a callback but it never happens so you call and call and call and send both email and fax resumes again to a potential employer only to find the position has been filled days ago. ugh.



In the past 8 months (how long i've been unemployed) i've come to reaize it's not WHAT you know, it's WHO you know. For real.

i wouldn't mind washing or detailing cars....i do it all the time with 4 cars lol.

The market sucks out there. My dad has been out of work for close to a year. I believe he had 2 interviews. It sucks. He is in Sales and has looked as "low" as a Burger King Manager. . .NOTHING. I would probably be in the same boat if I didn't know someone looking for an IT person around the same time I was laid off. Good luck man. The winter is coming. Have you though about looking at some of the Mountains to see if they are hiring at all? I am not sure how close you are to any of them though. Just an idea.

i live like 45 mins from Blue Mountain

Hang in there. As much as you don't want to hear this, it's going to get worse before it gets better. I graduated in December, took 5 months before I found something and now on my 2nd job in the last 4 months actually. As RSX said it's who you know during the day and age, degree doesn't seem to matter anymore.

That's not too bad. I would do it for the cash and the benefits. . if you snowboard or ski at least.
