the pains of unemployment

[FAMOUS T.R.K.]

yeah i had to move from ft hood tx too san antonio tx and it sucks finding a job it is so dam hard thanks to these times but can anybody relate or feel the pain of trying to make ends meet

[deevergote]

I work in foreclosures. I'm plenty busy... but I talk to a lot of people who are having hard times. Things are rough these days. Get what you can, and do your best to live below your means.

[dakiid]

Im not experiencing it myself but I know other friends and family members that are in the same situation as you. But keep your head up and good luck finding a new job. make sure you apply everywhere even if you think you cant stand working there.

i hear you man my dad's been out of work for a year and now finally got a job, it just takes time and be as flexible as possible

[jimborob76]

hey famous i can relate but i allways say to myself the "night is allways darkest before the dawn" but the dawns goina come so i wouldnt worry that much

[killin]

bro i feel your pain i just recently got my license and im having a little trouble finding a job. this economy blows majorly

[des0ne]

I can relate to you, Famous. I was working a pretty decent job for a few years, then one day..BAM..Laid off. I was living in MA. at the time and the unemployment checks there are pretty awesome, but its still a huuuge pay cut and its a pain to try and make ends meet on a monthly basis. It gave me alot of time to re-work my resume among other things and a few months later I landed a pretty cushy sales possision. It sounds hella cliche, but...hang in there. something will come along.

[h22sparkle]

Thats cool but it sounds like you need to come up in the game and try to do things yourself. I used to work for a truckin company and said to myself to the boss i need a raise. And they only gave us a 35 cent raise i was like the fuck is this a joke.

And he was like no its not a joke. And i knew from the paperwork iw as getting that he was making atleast 180,000 a day so i said fuck that i went into the business myself and stole 20 customers from him and i have people working for me and i make 2 grand a week.

And im licensed and contracted and insured so my business doesnt go under. Im just stackin chips so hang in there you gotta learn the game and make it work for you.

[jmolina]

i know it sucks....having to pay bills and no money flowing feels terrible.
i would take whatever job comes up....good luck


don't start stealing...j/k

the automotive machining industry is keeping busy.

i feel you on this one, i have a wife and 14 month daughter... trust me know!
i was an Architect... and back in Feb i was laid off. sucks.
but know I'm joining the Army and will be taking off for basic in a month or two. just look real hard and you'll find something.


one more thing, my wife, child and i have lived on $1700 a month in northern California since Feb, if i can do it feeding two extra mouths and bills, i know you singles guys should have no issue at all while on unemployment. its all about your priorities, what is critical to have and what is sacrificial ( i.e. cable and such)

I've been out of work for like 6 months or so. I'm behind on child support, probation payments, and every bill I have so I know how it feels man. I finally got a call the other day and might have a job now but it's been forever since i've had a job. It sucks. You just gotta keep putting in applications and doing whatever you can for money.

When writing a resume, avoid typing like that.






I took a $3/hour paycut this year. I tried to make it through with that, but it wasn't working out. I've since had to get a 2nd job. It's been tough, but hopefully it'll get better for all of us before too long.
