    Have you tried pretending to be uneducated and applying for jobs? That seems to work for some people. Some.

    Tried! And most annoying is that all those jobs are kinda taken by foreigners. I apologize if that offends but its the truth.

    I don't see why that's annoying. Foreigners are full-fledged human beings with needs too.

    I just started my job hunting back up again. Yay!

    The best of luck to you in your endeavors. Any ideas what you want to do, job wise?

    teach full time

    @Shlup - what happened to the part time / substitute teacher / I forget job?

    @Caboose - is it possible to get a worthless job in your field but rise through the ranks quickly once you are in? If I absolutely had to start over with my position I would support some low-level crap and fast track to be the supervisor.

    I've been trying that for ages but its a terrible catch 22 here. No experience, no job. No job, no experience!

    Something in education. My last job was teaching math, so I'm mostly applying for jobs with children.

    I'm still subbing but I'd rather have a job where I'm not relying on getting woken up by my phone at Unholy AM.

    Deja who?
    pika CHUUUUUU

    @Caboose: I got this job through referral (sort of) in that my friend here told me about the job opening and described me to his supervisor

    Sometimes it is necessary to get a referral. Go QQ to your prof maybe? Or ask him/her to let you intern. If you've been looking for work for this long you must've developed a system of not dying / paying for rent .

    Money Matthew. Money is the issue. I'd do an internship tomorrow but the cost of living and the length of time it would take social welfare to respond to it would leave me homeless in about 3-4 weeks.
