What would you do to pass the time?

I don't live in America but I can tell you that i have certainly been in your position! I live on an island of 400,000 and finding a decent paying job is almost impossible to find. I'd suggest you continue submitting CV's whilst looking online for ways to make some extra 'pocket money'. I've also recently opened an Ebay account as i have found while clearing out the rubbish there are plenty of items i can sell. All 3 items i have put up for selling have sold within the first 7 days...it really is that simple! Also, make the most of your extra time by getting together with friends, going for a coffee, reading a book, watching a movie, exercising. It all passes the time! Hope this helps :)

When i was looking for work and was unemployed i spent alot of time researching resume writing and cover letters, jobs, branched out to looking for jobs out of the town i lived in. Then other thing i did was looked for internships through the YMCA (they pay) I also made a point of volunteering at different places like the SPCA (humane society), computers for schoools and Ronald Mcdonald House so i could give the communtiy as well as have a current "work" type reference for my resumes even though the volunteer work wasnt always in my preferred career area

I suggest you submit resume to companies, while waiting you to be called you can do online job. To be able to earn some.

when i graduated from college, i was eager too, to submit my applications everywhere. :) but when a certain period comes without hearing anything from those people who are hiring, it gets tiring, and frustrating.. What i did was, well.. stayed at home, sold some burned cd's, baked to earn something, play a lot of computer games, watched a lot of tv shows and movies. damn! I had that routine for a YEAR! and i miss that because I have work now and it gets so tiring to do something.. lol. I enjoyed the time where I didnt have work, it was a very relaxing time for me. (except for the bills - when they come - damn I go NUTS) :p

If I was in your position I would be doing job online its not much but its better than nothing and doing nothing. Well its never too late to know this stuff and you will see you will luck time for yourself coz of the many things to do online and for sure this would occupy your time.......

pls don't give up,it is diffculty to find a good job, first of all, you should know what job you woul like to do, interest is the best teacher, you can learn more after your starting a good job, sending the best resume to every where in order to get amore opportunity.at the same time,making extra money on line is a best choose.during this time,you will get more,mable this way is suit for us! Good luck!

When I graduated from college, I gave out applications to every company I was interested in. I also enrolled in a Gym and worked out for 6 straight months. You're lucky that you graduated in a scenario where call centers are everywhere as well as coffee shops looking for Barristas. You CAN try those just to give you income while waiting for a real job. Might as well enjoy working while earning.

My opinion to you is to not give up. You just graudated from college so start networking with people you new from college talk to alumni and get connected. I don't know what your field of study is to know if it is in demand. but even in these bad times there are jobs out there just keep looking. My neice who just got her masters in medical business had a hard time getting a job when she had her BA in Biology. employers and people were telling her its because of the major she chose, I told her sometimes it depends on your work experience also... they want you to have both.. but she got her a job a month ago as a medical office specialist of medicine... something in that order and is making good money so trust me you will find something in due time just keep looking

There are a lot of possibilities... You just have to be optimistic... ^_^ Good luck!

Hi lotter iam a housewife having two kids and hubby and in laws in my house so i dont get much time to pass,hehehehehe

i think you should try to open the job itself.

Why don't you spend your time earning money online? I mean if you can't find a job, I'm sure you could use the extra money! I can recommend some great sites to you if you're intersted, just add me as a friend and send me a message. :-) Some other ideas - why don't you go to barnes and noble (or a similar book/coffee shop) and read a book and drink some coffee? Go out and meet some new friends. Go to the gym, it's good for you and a great way to pass time! Once the weather gets nice you can spend more time outside, maybe talking walks and exploring.

I use to pass the time drowning in the world of internet. Moreover I used to play some mobile games.

I wasn't able to find a job with my degree for 2 years after I graduated but I did job that would utilize some of my skills at least. I didn't get paid anywhere near what i am now that i do finally have a job i went to college for but at least i had experience

I am one of those crazy music lovers that if i want to i can listen to music for the whole 24 hours of the day. Im that crazy for MuZiQ. My past time is to surf through music sites, download some songs & put them in my respective folders. I have a collection of say around 110GB (13,000)songs (Hiphop, Trance, House, Rock, Metal, Electronic, RnB, Experimental etc). It's ma favourite past time.

I quit my job before I realized the economy was getting bad. I don't pay attention to politics or economics so I didn't know. Luckily I got accustomed to not having any money before the economy hit really bad. That sounds as if all I did was spend, but I really didn't. Sure I spent a lot on food, but recreational things such as t.v, computer, the expensive stuff, I hadn't spent a dime on. Well in any case to answer your question, to pass time I play video games, and I also get online to earn. I read as well, and go out from time to time with my fiance to either go out to eat, get things done in regards to our wedding, or just go grocery shopping with him and his mom, and / or dad. I like the first responders suggestion of making money, it helps pass the time, and this is a very addicting site. It's a little extra money, and a good way to save so you can spend without worrying.

Maybe you go and try to apply for your job? and while your waiting for them to call, maybe do a little online money making or a small business at home? or maybe try to help your parents. ^_~ your free anyways so there's many things you can do now ^_~

If I was you, I will learn to do buniess with others though Internet, cooerate with foreigns,maybe you can find big buniess opportunities. At the same time, You can earn extra money online.And resume to good company online, you don't need to wait face interview.Just do your own work online,if some company inform you to a interview,that's good.If no,you can continue to do you own busibess online.Hope it is helpful to you.Good luck!

If you really want a job, you can't say you get bored by filling out job applications. I've been through that I think I send out more then 200 application in a month especially I didn't have a direction at that time. Helping out the charities is another good option as you can see more of the world through them. Hopefully you will be able to find your direction then. Meanwhile, try some online job if you are desperate for money.

I agree the economy is really going bad and i dont see any chances of it improving in the near term. But this did not mean that you stop searching the job. The God help those who help themselves. So it is not the time to sit idle looking of some time passing stuff. Just go outside work hard and find some job. Very soon you will definitely get one.
