Sorry, to hear. I'll think positive thoughts for you. I hope you feel better and best of luck finding a job. I need to get one too and I'm also a little older than most applicants and I also have scoliosis and a herniated disc so I too need a sit down job.

Please don't become discouraged... save your energy and try looking at other options: http://virtualassistantbusiness.com/free-virtual-assistant-jobs.html

If it makes you feel any better I'm in the same boat that you are. I applied for a job the other day, one that I'm well qualified for and I hear back today that they are not interested in hiring me but I'm more than welcome to apply for any of their other jobs they have. When checking, they don't have any other jobs open that I am qualified for. I've applied for several jobs in the past and no one is ever interested in hiring me. I'm pretty annoyed with it. Makes me not want to apply for anymore.

I feel your pain, but have you tried ringing them up or writing to them and asking why you didn't get the job and if they say something constructive then you can always work on that. I have a similar problem and I am 17, as I have just left school last year I don't have much work experience and they seem to expect everyone to have been born with work experience as they are not willing to train people, especially in retail they seem to want people that were born sales assistants or something.

i am sorry to hear of your problem, have you ever thought about a school bus driver job or school bus aide? i have been a school bus driver for 36 years now and i truly enjoy it, it pays well and also most schools provide benefits if needed. i don,t know where you live but most cdl's [license] you obtain are paid for by the school system and they train you as well. for the aide it doesn,t require too much other than a criminal background check and you are mostly just riding the bus for a special needs student, the days are usually spit up, 2 hr in am and 2 in pm. just thought i might give you options. hope things get better for you.

I'm sorry Dragon that you haven't been hired yet. Its really bad out there. My daughters boyfriend is young and he has been out of work for the last few months. He was laid off and thought it would be easy to get another job. My daughter says he has put in so many applications and done interviews that he can't figure out what he is doing wrong. I don't think either of you is doing anything wrong, as so many people are applying for one position. I wish that a snap of the fingers would solve the countries problems now, but this is not possible. Sadly, think its going to get worse this summer with many teenagers trying to get a part time job willing to accept minimum wage. Good luck and hope your hired soon. I'm hoping one of the posters has a suggestion that leads to a job.

first of all i want to tell you to get chin up ,all hope is not lost as long as there is life there is hope,the worst thing you can do is to give up on yourself.look within you GOD has put something in you that you can make use of.i am into online business and i want to invite you to join.there are many good online business that you can do,you will not be rich overnight but if you persist you will get a good hang and start making decent money.To start off i suggest you visit www.achieversideas.com you will see different ideas that can get you started.Good luck and bye.

All I can suggest is that you do a little research to find an 'equal opportunity' employer and try getting work with them. From what you say in your post, it's clear that discrimination is frowned upon if not downright illegal.

Start posting of 50 to 100 in MyLot. It may bring some amount. Since you are sitting in your home without any job, posting in MyLot is the best. Besides you can still search for a good job. You are an experienced person and it is not that much difficult to get job. Best of Luck.

I don't think that you are overreacting at all. I am 51 and I have gotten every job that I have ever applied for until lately! I changed careers about 10 yrs ago, I became a truck driver. I was out on the road for about 6 yrs and have been doing local jobs since I have come off of the road. But, now I would like to find something that I don't have to drive. Do you know that I can't even get a job in a grocery store! Yikes! I did that several years ago but I recently applied and I never got called. I know that it is my age!

There were times in my life when I felt like that and worse. I crried and prayed to the Lord to open up a way for me in his own time, not in my time but his. One day I was tired looking for jobs, and I decided to go job hunting again, I did not give up under some touch circumstances. I went directly to a shopping center. The first store said they were not hiring. The second one hired me. God had a job there waiting for me. I was at my wits end. So my dear friend, I just want to say, dont give up, no matter how dismal your job situation may look in your eyes. There is one who is greater than us and He has it all in Control. His timing is always right, and he comes through for us right on time. I think I have said my little bit. Best wishes to you. BE PATIENT. "PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE"!

Please don't be discouraged,sir.I can apprehend your frame of mind,but please pull yourself together.Tomorrow is another day,everything will be better.You can look for the job which is suitable for you.As far as know there are many jobs that needs years of experience,so this is your advantage.

I've been down that road myself dragon. Right now I'm in training for a job that I didn't go to school for and chances are it may be too much for me to handle. My family tells me to stick to it but I feel overwhelmed by the flood of information i'm getting. Have you tried perhaps going into a business of your own? A friend and I are considering opening up a consignment boutique because we find that the best line of work is working for yourself- no one else will give you adequate compensation for your efforts.

I can understand why they would choose someone who is younger...they may want the person that they are going to hire to be there for a long time. But on the other hand I think it is unacceptable to do this. It is age discrimination. I know you said that you can't prove it. But if those companies behave like that then just remember, you don't want to work for a company like that.

Hi dragon54u, I'm sorry to hear you missed out on that particular job - don't be sad, you're obviously being kept for something better. It might be a stretch, but with your qualifications, do you know anyone else or would you be able to find anyone else who would have the get-up to start your own care center? Anyway, that aside, you've got my interest - what are you planning to do in your retirement? Just by the by, I know some people who have arthritic joints, and the've gotten some relief from using Glucosamine and Emu Oil. It doesn't work overnight, but it does help a lot, apparently. They get Glucosamine from shellfish, so I hear, but it's a real job to catch an Emu and squeeze him to get the oil. You've actually got cheaper Emu Oil in the USA than we have in Australia now, because some enterprising folk have started up Emu farms there (and they spend all day chasing after Emus with buckets). Do cheer up, and don't stress out over that temp job. There's a whole world still out there, and it's your story that you're writing with each new day.

OH, Dragon54u, don't get discouraged! I know it is very hard and disappointing to not get the jobs but God does have the ideal job waiting for you in His time. I am so sorry you are having such a hard time finding work. I will help you out all I can if I find something on here but as you well know they are few and far between. Please, please, know that we love you and are here for you. God has closed these doors on you but He will open a window or another door. Be patient and wait on the Lord! I do feel your hurt and disappointment because I am your friend. I am here for you, please PM me and cheer up. I know you will get lots of encouraging words from your other mylot friends. Love ya

Hello Sir, Im younger to you and may be I can only advise you to be patient and keep doing your best.I can understand the pain you are going through.However,you may note that worrying is not a solution.Further worrying cribs your ability to think and look for new avenues.Please relax and you know your strengths keep working on them...keep applying for jobs and you will surely find a better job than the one you missed out yesterday.Be positive.Keep smiling and jobs will come in search of you. See u soon sir...hoping for a good news and a special treat from you soon.

Dont give up and dont be discouraged as a lot of employers do go for the younger people but in most neighborhoods there are special employment agencies that do cater to older people and they have sit down jobs also. Have you tried your local library? they often hire clerks and that' is a well paying job and its a sit down job too.Also try your local hospital as they often hire clerks for all different departments. I know its very discouraging as you would think that employers would want someone older with more experience but too many think with the wrong organ and look for the young pretty women who often do not have brain one in their heads.

I think that no one is worthless unless they choose to be. From your words and desire for a job, you are not even close. Just put that out of your mind. Have you checked any online job search site? I know that where I live, we have one called southeastgeorgiahelpwanted.com There may be something similar in your area. I have always tried to keep an optimistic attitude about such things. If you didn't get this job its because there is one even better and more suited for you just around the corner.
