Don't give up! I'm sure you will succeed.

Let's look at what I think you said: you've been looking for a job for 9 months, and you've applied to 22 places. Is that right?

What I would advise ppl who are unemployed was that seeking employment was NOW their full time job. That means 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. How many applications can you fill out and how many interviews could you do if you spent that much effort in finding a job?

I understand that this is a specialty. What other areas of employment could you begin in, similar or using your skills, that you could work while looking for the perfect position? What does the employment service say in their efforts to help you?

It's good to see you back, spazkat! Hope you find a job soon.
