do you get stressed when looking for a job?

I get way stressed its unhealthy. I tend to work my self up and start to cry or be sick because im stressed and its not good. I really eate looking for jobs ive been out of ork a while now and its making me rather depressed i have to say.

I can totally sympathise with you spicy, for I too am looking for a job, as mine finishes next month. I am not even young, so I'll have more problems finding a job. Its really very frustrating. My son has just graduated and here in India, jobs for freshers are very rare, so even he is having a problem. He too keeps going for interviews and no result upto now. I guess I'll take up classes for medical transcription and then do that online. I feel scared online for all the scams, and when you are tight financially, to lose money to scams is very hurtful. Good luck and God bless. Hope for the best and keep faith.

i have been same situation as you.but most of the time i wasn't very disappointing to me very much. there are so many job hunter apply to the one job.i dont think that i am excellence enough to get the one position.may be i don't get a call back when i applied to ten position.my hubby also would puts a lot of pressure on me.so it was very hard to me to look for a new job everytime.

I will be stressed when looking for a new job, because I haven't worked for few years. I creat my own little shop near my house, but the I have to close it for the poor earning. Since then, I have been working at home. Recently, my online business is not good, so I wanna look for a new job out of home, but I am quite anxious about it.

I think most of people do feel stressed when looking for a job, especially for those greeen hand. I myself did have the same experience with you when i graduated from my college, but never give up and be confindent. You can talk to your friends or family to seek help like experiences in looking for a new job. The most importance is never say give up!!!

yes many times and i feel i hate applying in job, i don't know what they want all i know is just i give all that i can to got hired but it didn't work.

Yes because I need the job real bad, and it seems as if I am getting nowhere and it is very stressful. I try not to lose my cool when looking for a job, but it can be so difficult.

hello spicysweetie, It's just normal to feel that way especially that you're trying to find one and even enrolled again but still. But don't lose hope, maybe because the economy is still recovering. Who knows, you can find one pretty soon. Just keep on submitting your credentials, you'll never know. My job now since I graduated from college is still the company I'm working with till now. Thank GOD, I still have a job. They layed out much last year due to global crisis but now the company is now hiring for it's already picking up. Keep on trying.

I am sorry to hear that. I hope you already found a job right now. I remember it was not a good feeling for me when I looked for a job in the past. I had to go to have interviews in different places. And I was questioned by many bosses when I had the interviews. And when the weather is not so well, it is terrible to go out to look for a job. Good luck! I love China

Hey, Well I sort of get stressed when I am looking for a job, but right now I am not really stressed out. Well I still live with my parents, so that is why I am not stressed out. But I really need to find a job, I need to become independent. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

Well done for going back to school and getting better qualified .I don't work anymore but I can remember what it felt like waiting for the replys ,good luck with your job search.

Stress and tired. But I won't stop. I know God has a better plan for me so I'm still confident I can get a job that's right for me. God bless!

hi freind after my college i m doing my first job only from last 3 years. So i have never get a chance to lost or i have to find a job. Now this year i copuple of months i m gonna change my job but this time also i have got job job from a competitive exam i have not to be in any stressed or nervous mind. But yes from my frneinds who has no job or serching for a job, i can feel tha stress and nervous they feel when they go for an interview and after the interview. These feeling are very much painful.

When looking for a job I sometimes want to beat the crap outta the guy giving the interview...they ask some really dumb questions sometimes....like "what are you aiming for"....dude i'm aiming for a bloodly JOB...geez..lol

i do not stress over looking for a job but i hate the interview process. i just want to say to the person behind the desk who is usually younger than me, "look. let's just drop the pretense. here is what i can do, here are the hours i can work. how much does the job pay? what are the hours/ and what does the job entail?" but you cannot be that way so you have to answer their tedious questions and sell yourself and kiss up to them and then hope you get the job which always entails way more work then they let on and they always forget to mention that they may ask you to stay later than your scheduled time and when you say you can't they get an attitude and say you are not a team player. i hate the whole thing and wish i could find a way to work for myself but i cannot think of anything that matches my skill set to do on my own.

I get very stressed especially in this time because they are so hard to come by! I was laid off 3 months ago and have been activily looking for work since the day I go laid off. It's so frustrating to send resume after resume and hear nothing. Probably mostly due to scammers taking advantage of the people looking so hard. I think was is so stressful is knowing I need to a job to survive and how limited they are now a days.

Yes, I do get stressed when I look for jobs because I would worry if I can get that job and if I would feel comfortable with the job etc... right now I'm looking for work too but I'm not in hurry to do sobecaus eI just wnat to find something to do to kill time but still... I hope you get that job soon!!

in this times,it's hard and stressful to find a job.I'm ok with my job now because I earn money I need.I have to put up with officemates without good breeding.I am sticking with this job so I can earn money.good luck woth your job hunt!never lose hope and always think positive.

You should not feel like a failure because of not being able to find a job.We are in a recession right now and it is hard for everyone,just keep trying something will come your way patience is a blessing sometimes.Hope the best for you.I am trying myself and its very stressful but i keep trying.Dont give up.

Looking for a job at any age, while in school or not--can be very stressful. And added stress from family or a boyfriend makes it even more stressful. I have been at my job for 4 yrs. I hate it. I cant leave because I KNOW there isnt much out there right now. I had 2 jobs up until about a week ago. I finally quit my 2nd job. I would have gone there full time and quit this crappy job but it pays almost half what I make at my full time job.....it sucks. I'm sorry you are stressed. I wish you luck.
