Much of my self esteem and self control comes from my career. The money is important it funds everything else going on in my life.
If I ever find myself unemployed, I would go back to washing dishes, fast order cook, bag girl at a supermarket.
For me there is a difference between finding a job and finding work. There is plenty of work out there if you're willing to do the menial labor till you find something better. Or you can turn your nose up and wait for a job you like. That could take a very long time though.
Instead of dwelling on the problems, start dwelling on the solutions.

thats a lot of guts to tell someone finding work isnt a big priority. try doing some research on the economy 38% of the unemployed cant find a job. so, its not a big priority for me huh? well why do i look for jobs 3 times a week? sometimes i have to look less because i dont fit the requirements for the job.
u dont live in AZ so dont speak about something u dont know if more people did that, that would be a blessing for me. menial work? how do i get employed doing that? we all know degrees will outweigh low paying jobs. how many times have i said in other forums on here that i have a degree, applied to many low paying jobs, and still not hired?
dont gimme that garbage oh there's plenty of jobs then like i tell many working people, if that's so true, then the now 38% of the unemployed would be hired. ive had applied to numerous job positions low paying to decent paying and still no answer from employers. i did have an interview last month at a friend's company and didn't get the job but left a great impression. again, if there's plenty of work, why do we have all of this protesting on employment issues/discrimination? why are more nonprofit agencies popping up to fight for employee rights and hire people regardless if they are experienced or not? take your blinders off maybe you can see the forest for the trees!
i wont be getting kudos from u cuz going to interviews and not getting hired must not be a
BIG PRIORITY to you. i gave myself kudos dont need it from negative folks like you. at least, an interview is better than nothing even though i was not hired. i dont need to keep hearing the same garbage ur telling me about the job issues heard it from elsewhere too aka a bunch of fluff.
i take what i hear, filter what will/will not work for me, and disregard the stuff that i know didnt work. the job advice is not a one size fits all for everybody and that type of thinking should be changed. if i were you, id go back and do some research find something to speak on and rebuttal against since you have nothing to argue with me about.
where i live, there isnt much work even when the economy was in a good shape and before i was even legal to work! ive had employers tell me in career fairs and interviews how they have nothing for me because i lack experience.
yes, i live at home. how many times have i said that in other forums on here? i am being more careful than ever before on choosing a place to work in as i am visually inspecting how the interactions are with the employees and customers. yes, at the workshops, they told me look for that plus how well or not so well the interview goes.
let me put it this way how many different employment services have you gone to that didnt really help, applied for everything under the sun, barely any interviews, and still not hired? you mean to tell me im throwing myself under a bus and finding a job is not my top priority? really? gosh, you wanna talk about full of **** that took to a whole new level!
gee, what is a top priority? i guess your definition and mine are two complete opposites. i get it everywhere i dont have enough in me to find any job blah blah i dont need your negative attitude telling me what to do, how to do it, or how to look for a job. there was something specific in my post i was asking, i guess u cant answer it so dont bother speaking to me.
like my therapist said what do i have in control now? people like you will say what they want. like i always tell people, wash your hands clean and make sure you are perfect before u speak to me.
