Who is currently Un-Employed?

[f22a4bandit]

yeahh well thanks for the advice and stuff
im really looking into the solar power field
im already fairly decent at electrical work
and my whole family has been electricians
the solar industry is growing very quickly and my dad is already high up in the company he works for
while this is the career im interested in...i still need a job to get by lol
i get what your sayin though i dont have bills and stuff like you guys do
but i do have court costs coming up that idk how to pay for
maybe even probation
something will work out for me though

The court will tell you how to pay your bill. I'm currently on probation and have to pay court costs as well. If you do end up on probation, your officer will inform you of the correct procedure to follow. Remember, your probation officer doesn't want to deal with a lot of trouble, so act kind and courteous and you'll make it through fine.

Edit: I can barely go through with one hour of job searching. I understand it's a hassle for employers to post entry-level jobs where you actually learn the ropes from the bottom up, but honestly this is ridiculous. Everything is 2+ years experience, and anything I do find, I'll hear something once and never hear back. I don't understand how you guys that have been out of work for a year plus handle the monotony every day. I'm about to go freaking crazy in this hoe.

i feel you guys pain i was unemployed from june 07-july 08 i was working for dyncorp painting aircrafts ....it sucked getting laidoff i got lucky and scored a job becoming a butcher its not a bad job i just miss painting planes though. just happy to have something to pay my bills

[Leung]

i just checked my unemployment benefits... 217 a week for 26 weeks.
that pays all my bills each month BUT it only leaves me 87 bucks a month for gas and food.

I'll be shopping at walmart then.

I may look into this job at a Amazon depot in northern Kentucky. It's suppose to pay 11 to 12 bucks and hour but i think it's only seasonal work so i may be be laid off again in the future..

The man is 110% correct.

Basically there are jobs and then there are careers.

If you go to school or aquire a skill(welding plumbing) and can turn that into a career then your good.

.

like i said 5yrs plumbing and 3yrs welding my last job was a fab shop.. out here there isnt shit going on and the welding jobs want to only pay 10hr im not saying i wouldent do it but there are so many people out of work so im applying for the same job as the guy that has been welding for 30 yrs

[wed3k]

i was born skilled, which is why i have two jobs.

[dlatino]

at least our cars are paid for

[stewie]

my advice for some people would be to try and get into a government job. be a ditch bitch if you have to...dig ditches...try getting onto the roads department and blacktopping and paving... government jobs offer GREAT job security and usually have decent wages.

i started off when i was 17, working for the parks board....walking through parks and beaches and picking up garbage off the ground..finally got an interview for water dept. 2 years later, got in, they paid for all my schooling (so long as i passed) and now my job title is "water engineer" wich is just a fancy way for saying plumber i guess?
