Looking for work...

I am in the same boat looking for work. I haven't had a job since February of last year, and before that it had been three years. I have an interview that I don't think I'm going to be able to make it to. I need money becuase I need a car and insurance as well as to just save so I can get back on my feet again. I hate that most applications are now online, and especially one an error occurs and you can't finish the app for whatever reason. Some applications are also just confusing or too complicated. I am not sure what to tell you on how to dress, I would say if it was for an office I would dress more office attire like, and for anything else whatever suits the line of work you'd be doing. I Wouldn't go to casual but I also wouldn't go too too formal either.

hi, me too, before the month of January enter, i starting to find and look for a job in the internet, and first week of this months i applied, but so sad because i was failed, but doesn't mean that i have to stop, it will be my strength to continue seeking a job.

my hubby was in the same boat over the Christmas of 2009-2010 and it took him until June of 2010 to find a job (he was off for 9 mnths) but he loves the job he has now and everything is great.

Hello there! That is a really great job dedicating your time for your family instead of working. You are absolutely right that if we get older, the demand for a physical aspect of working is harder than what we are going to expect if we are already there doing it. If you still decide to work then your greatest achievement there is that you have demonstrated 15 long years of success working for a phone company. I would suggest that you still work in a call center if there is any job opening for that within your area. If you are going to work just being online then it would really be hard for you to earn that much because as we all know it is taking a lot of things to do before you can even have a dollar here on the internet. I was a resume writer before and what I do highlight the most if a customer who took our service has not been working for over 5 years is their core competencies. This mean the summation of all their great qualities for them to be hired in that job title they are aiming for. Sometimes it is taking different qualities that should also be stated for a different job title as well. You should really not worry how you would dress up because I know there in your country that it would not really matter with the people around you. Yes the proximity as well from your place should also be considered because at that age we are most likely going to be tired traveling to go to work so it should be near you as well just like an hour time or less. I hope I have given some insight or some help with what I have posted. Good luck with your job hunting!!

well...I think you have to post your resume in all possible sites. Even I did that. I got call from timesjobs within a month of posting my resume and got selected. And yes...I think dressing semse really matters when I will go for an interview. Because it represents my personality. I am 26 and I always try to maintain a proffessional dressing etiquetes. I generally look for good hike and of course a good environment. I think my personality is the think which gives me the oppertunity to get a new job.

Well, as the saying goes, just be true to yourself. This is for the dress code that you're asking. Wear something that's comfortable and suits your age. Looks have points too in the eyes of an employer. You've got to be the best of what you can be when it comes to physical look. But the most important is your attitude. But on the other hand, if you are not confident that you can find job, you can try online jobs. I have many accounts in legitimate online jobs that's don't cost you a penny if you want to register.

Well of course applying for jobs in your field is important of course. But what i did and how i got my job was posting my resume all the time on craigslist and i finally got noticed and someone snatched up my resume and gave me a call and its in the field i enjoy and in the field i know most. I am 25 so i dress young still and not conservative at all. I dont cover my whole body up all the time and just wear jeans and pants at work i wear dresses a lot and capris. You have to dress like you want the job on the interview. Dont wear flat shoes and short pants but wear pants that cover the heal of course and stay professional. Its hard right now out there but there are jobs all over and if you go onto monster or hotmail.com just post your resume on there so others can see it as well and that might help you out in the end or long run.
