    When you say "despite my best efforts" you are not being honest with yourself. What field are you attempting to find work? This is the best economy of my lifetime and businesses are hiring everywhere. 2009 was 100x more difficult.

      I am being honest with myself. I apply to jobs in offices that only require a hs diploma and still don't get a callback. I cold call, drop off applications in person, and follow up and get nothing. Don't tell me I'm not being honest when you don't know the whole story.

      I don't really care what field I enter at this point. As long as it's something with health benefits. The economy is not as great as everyone says it is right now. the only jobs out there are jobs for high school kids like cashiers and stuff that pay 10 bucks an hour.

        UPS is a great company they cant find people. You have to start out part time but they will train you to deliver packages or drive semis and that pays 40 an hour plus "free" healthcare.

        Also if you're really desperate the North Dakota oil rigs will fly you in and give you housing and start you out at around $1000 a week but you can earn up to 300,000 a year working on the oil rigs. Oil work always pays good.

        What you ought to do is put in 1 application a day. This way you dont get over whelmed but within 2 weeks you'll be getting calls in this economy.
