Still unemployed!

Posted Wed, 10/26/2011 - 17:26 by gozz789

Well, I am still unemployed - going to 3 years now! I started a website back in late September - Announcment Services (Announce a special occasion, events, new business, etc). Hoping that the site will generate some type of revenue (even a few dollars a month), I have little hope that the site will make me any money! Boy, what a depressing state of mind I am in right now. I promote it, market it on social media - BUT, still no traffic to the site! No traffic equals to no revenue!
I believe this is my 3 venture on the internet while I have been unemployed.

Isolation

Posted Sun, 10/02/2011 - 09:54 by feeling frustrated

I honestly can't believe this week marks 3 months since I was abruptly terminated from my job of 7 years. Oh yes, I have been looking, applying, etc.- but as everyone here knows- it is very difficult! Anyway, I feel very isolated. My home that was once a wonderful retreat for me has now become a prison.

you don't interview right

Posted Wed, 05/18/2011 - 11:24 by Anez34

Seriously??I have gotten jobs before. What do you mean I don't interview right? I get asked, do you wear a suit? What does your hair look like? Maybe we can get together and practice interview questions. Sure lets waste time, what is a practice interview? Don't you think that since my lifestyle depends on it I would get good at it? Why don't you go back to school? I don't know I have a masters degree and went to college for 7.5 years and have every degree and certification i would ever need. So I don't want to be around my friends.

Full Circle?

Friday the 13th -- let the drama begin!

Oh boy... here's an update on my situation:

So I'm hunting for a job again. Have had a few interviews, one "offer" that I still don't have in writing so I'm not holding my breath. Trying to be optimistic, but it's very difficult.

Yesterday my wife announced that she is leaving again, unrelated to my employment status, I guess. Can't say we didn't try, I guess.

Worst of all, I'm starting to feel depressed and worthless. You unemployed people know the drill.

WOW - OH, BOY.... WOW!!!

I started this escapade in September of 2010. A little late to the game but unemployed none-the-less.

I was being constantly set-up for failure in my job. The management at the company didn't like me. I was successful in spite of them, not with their help.

My marriage was a disaster. It was my second and I knew it was a mistake shortly after the "I DOs". Then it took me 4 1/2 years to actually do anything about it.

Mornings

Posted Tue, 06/08/2010 - 05:48 by celiamck

Mornings are the hardest part of the day for me right now. Getting up and sitting at the computer, looking at the job boards, reading the news, just reinforces for me how much worse this could get before it starts to get any better.

I opted not to get involved with the insurance sales position, it was just to risky and ultimately too sleazy. I'm fine with that decision, at least this way I can still look at myself in the mirror and not turn away.

And today will be busy. Lots of census work to do, so I won't be hanging around here obsessing and moping.

First Timer... novice... I feel like a loser

Posted Fri, 05/14/2010 - 00:00 by mgodoy75

35 y.o. family guy with two young daughters who are my life. My wife is now the bread winner for us, and I feel lousy.

Tomorrow will be my first month from getting canned... for not being phony, for not being a company man... money isn't everything but I did not think it would be this difficult to land something. All say I am overqualified, over paid, yet I am seeking entry level, I would be grateful to earn 40K vs. 95K. I need the opportunity, I need to retain my faith and hope, yet despair looms near.

I should return to school, I feel worthless...

going on three months now...

Posted Sat, 05/08/2010 - 06:12 by celiamck

Ok, so it's going on 3 months now since I got laid off as part of a corporate downsizing. I worked for a BIG health insurance company, had been there 6 years, and was a very good employee - no big news, right? All kinds of good people get laid off/downsized while watching and scratching their heads over who got picked to stay. I managed to land one of the census taker jobs, which will carry me thru next month, and then unemployment again. I have good days and bad days now, sometimes all within the same day.
