I am facing lot of problems in my current job since last six months and am trying to change to another job since then. I have been trying really hard to do it, but to no avail. But I am sure that I would definitely get a better opportunity very soon. Are you too looking for a change in your current job?

Yup but unfortunately I work for my husband in his business, and no matter how many times I have tried to resign he just ignored me! lol!

I'm searching for either a new FULL-TIME job or a way to earn enough on the internet to support myself mainly because I only work part-time right now. I hate to say it but it seem as though the closer I get to the big 5 0 the harder time I'm having finding a job. So since late April or early May I've been desperately trying to make it happen.

I honestly love my current job- but I am looking for a new one- It’s just not secure anymore- The company was recently bought out by another company- Went from public to private- and I want to be out of here before they shut this division down- Not sure when it will happen- but I think it will- It’s just a matter of time- So yep I’m looking- but haven’t found anything yet-so I might be riding this out- but if another opportunity pops up- I’m there!

The job market in my area is real bad. The unemployment rate is very high. I have a college degree and I am working part time at a fast food restaurant. It is sad. I am not happy about it but it is a steady paycheck until I find something else. I am always watching for the opportunity to change jobs. When I find the right job, I will move fast. I do not want to miss the chance to improve my life.

I'm not actually looking for a change in my job, but I *am* looking for a job in the first place. I haven't quite held down my real first "Job" yet, but I'm looking to get one in the near future. I've applied at a couple different places, such as a nursing home and a gas station downtown. There's nothing really exciting, though, but if I Don't get hired soon, I do plan to just go ahead and take the drive needed to go work at a nearby city's Burger King. I really am not looking forward to the fastfood industry, though.

I am always looking for a better job than what I have now. I want something more in my field of study. It's hard finding a job with the degree but not the experience.

What kind of problems are you currently facing if you don't mind? I'm not looking out for change in my job because I'm unemployed right now. But before I was. Job is really hard to find if the employer or company is looking for a person who got lots of experiences and have a good record. I just don't get it on why they have no heart to some good people who doesn't have an experience and don't give them a chance to show their performance.

I know how you feel, I was in a job I hated. This last April they did a company reduction and I ended up laid off. What a blessing that was. I started my own internet travel agency www.getawaymall.com Now I don't live in fear of losing my job, I make as much money as I want and since it's an Internet company I hardly do any work. This allows me time to do the things in life I enjoy. My advise to you is to get out of the 9-5 state of mind, you're never going to be free of stress until you do so. You are worth more than what anybody is willing to pay you. Got to www.thegetawaymall.com to learn more about starting your own Internet Travel biz.

I'm not sure what my current situation is. I have been blessed enough to be able to work from home taking calls for companies like HSN. The company I was working for hired their at home call takers as independent contractors. They are now switching to employee status. Although we can still work from home, I'm not sure if all states that can currently do it will be able to continue. So I've kind of been searching for something else like it, just in case.
