I am trying to do a different take on job search….. I don’t know what that take is but I figured i would try something new.
My 3 main site are Careerbuilder.com, Indeed.com and Craigslist. ( yes Craigslist, believe it or not there seems to be a lot more on Craigslist than anywhere else and unless you have a better site for me to use, don’t judge)
On Craigslist – I have been looking under accounting and fiance and medical and health ( I am really wanting a job in the health care field but I believe this to be a long shot but I am still trying)
under accounting there were 15 jobs posting ; out of those 15 jobs I only have enough experience to apply for 3 of them, but I can’t as they are located in Tempe and I have no way to make it to Tempe ( bus doesn’t run early enough or there is no bus in that direction. So no luck there
the same can be said under medical / health there were over 25 jobs posted and I could only apply for 1 of those jobs as i either needed a degree or a year or more experience in the health care field ( which I don’t have)
as for Indeed and career builder, all together there were a total 4 jobs in which I could apply for as all others were : wanting a college degree, where in the health field for accounting and wanted prior health care experience, or they were nowhere near me ( no ability to commute).
out of those 4 jobs; I had already applied for 2 of them prior.
I believe i can call today a bust in the job market. I really wish I would have gone to college prior to now. but as it stands right now i can’t go back until I find a new job.
The irony in all of these, I was set to go to college in 2006, but then our business was booming and I was asked to work around 60 plus hours ( some times 80 hours) a week and I made the choice than to put it off for the company and go to school later, and the kicker of it all, I was enrolled to start in August and had to drop out as I lost my job and couldn’t commit to school as I need to find a new job.
In short i feel used and abused and left out in the rain.
yep, that’s a big kick in the you know what.
My life as I know it
