i feel like giving up..

You should not lose hope. Just give it more time. The right job will surely come. I'll pray with you for that.

In life, do not let fear hinder you in you doing something for you so that you know better. Yes, life is hard right now, but, do not quickly give up and surrender! Continue to work and fought tirelessly Keep trying. Life is tough, but do not give up .. live it with confidence and keep the spirit ..continue this life can be easy, but do not be deceived by the ease of it, because all that is world is merely a momentary.

It can be depressing when out of work and it can feel a waste of time to apply for more jobs. When there is a job vacancy then sometimes in hard times they can get around 200 applications. I remember in 1992 there was high unemployment in my home country due to a recession. There was a TV program about a road sweeper job and they had more than 200 applicants. The lucky person to get that job needed to bend and lift. Some graduates wished to get that job even a teacher and an accountant. With that the employer feels he has way too many applications to say sorry to hundreds of people that they didn't get that job. In 1993 I was sadly made redundant from my job. I joined the job club and met other unemployed people. All of them were working very hard at job applications. Few people got a job. I found all the job applications and letters says no thanks very depressing indeed. I decided to let out my cottage, get a working holiday visa for Australia and an airline ticket around the world. I got a monthly income and wages in Australia. I came back home just over one year later. Then I did temporary work until I became a student. I went to university and became a primary school teacher. I would recommend becoming a student if no work is available. Good luck.

It is hard to find a job out there now with the way the economy is. I hope and pray that your able to find something soon. And I know what you mean about being put down all the time my sisters were like that with me and then I got older and found a good job and still have the same job after 9 yrs so now they don't think anything like that anymore. I pay my bills and have my own car now. I hope you are able to the same soon, good luck.

Don't let people's words by them saying that you can't do this and that you can't do that stop you from doing what you want to. Every time someone throws at you you're not going to make it that you can't do it what are you trying for should make you want to try even harder. I've had a whole lot of people tell me the same thing and yes including my step father, whom I don't even claim as my father for many reasons. But yes one of them was he once told me when I wanted to move away from my home town, that I won't make it, I will be back home I won't accomplish anything and what is the point of moving where I moved anyway. I can't even do this or that. I didn't listen to him and you know what I am making it here where I am living, I am learning myself around my area, I had jobs I lost them and now I found this new job, that took me a good while to find. There were times that I wanted to give up and just throw in the towel and say forget about it. But I kept at it. Because I wanted to prove that guy wrong, that I was going to make it. I am married and I never thought of moving back home or going back home or anything. I have made it. Just believe in yourself and you can make it and don't give up. Just because one job turns you down, that leaves another opportunity for the right job to open up just for you. If you give up, then you'll never accomplish your goal of finding a job. Keep your head up and don't let people bring you down. One thing I've learned, if the stores that you have applied to don't call you, how about you try calling them and let them know you are still interested in the job and if they have had the opportunity to look at your application. I hope this helps and good luck with your job search.

I know it's hard to find a job especially in this economy. We live in a very small town and well, there really are not any jobs. I created my own job though. I put up and add in the local grocery stores with tasks I was willing to do: house cleaning, babysitting, tutoring, lawn mowing, etc...I got a babysitting job and a house cleaning job. I'm not making millions, but I am feeding my family and it's something I am doing on my own as a single mom to two beautiful kids. Whatever you do stay consistent, keep looking, and sometimes we have to think outside the box. You have access to a computer, so that's a start right there. Many people make a living off from blogging as well as accessing other sites online. Good luck.

You don't say if you are in school or not so I say if not in school go take a class, make a good resume and volunteer somewhere. By volunteering you have a oot i the door and you will be learning different things and then maybe they will hire you. If you are in school ask some of the teachers if they know of someone who is hiring for odd jobs that you can do. You just never know who is listening and who is willing to help. Last your family you can love them but don't take everything they say to heart trust yourself and believe in yourself! Good luck!

Hi friend, I am same with you, I was living with my family and can't hold a job for long, even I am giving up because my family keep stepping and blocking my way, its a negative thing but what I want is also able to move out and live on my own attain my own freedom. This is something very hard to do, but if you insists to do it, you will do it sooner or later. I hope you will not take so much seriously with your family, they are like that, never bother them, I know it feels bad have no one to talk to, you can hint to them that you feel uncomfortable being treated this way, maybe they can changed. I know why you want to move out because they are not changing a bit, girl you are so beautiful inside and out, let it be, let it comes naturally if you are stressful and hopeless nothing can help. Only God knows and pray to Him you can get over this problem soon. Blessings.

Hi IDear2Dream, The economy is bad right now. Many people are having a hard time finding jobs. Try not to let it stress you out. God is in control. Everything will work out. You are special and important. God has plans for good in store for your life. I will keep you in my prayers.

You don't say what qualifications, if any, you have to acquire a job. If you fill out an application the way you wrote this discussion, your application will be passed over. Use proper English, capital letters, and correct punctuation. Answer every question. Have you considered going to school? There are grants and loans that are available to you to learn some skills that will make you more employable. I see you are only 18, so you are either almost done with school or already done. Employers want quallified people working for them, so if you went to school to learn smoe skills, you would be much more employable. I see you have the ambition...you just need some skills to go with it.

Don't give up. Keep hanging in there. Do the things that you want so that you are able to be proud of yourself. Try not to let what other people think or feel get the best of you. It can be hard but we have to keep working at it. As long as you know that you are doing your best then you can be happy with what you are trying to accomplish.

Oh So bad to know that. What is not really good is that it is your family who is stepping on you. That must be really difficult to deal with. What I can say is that try your very best to ignore what they say and do, just hang on never give up because total failure will be the result for sure. I hope and pray to God that you will find a real job to show them that they are wrong. Cheer up!

That's really bad that you face such situation in life. Don't give up. Be confident. I'm sure you will get good job one day. Apply to as many companies as you can.

Thanks for sharing. I can understand what you feel. I have seen a lot of people worried that they don't have a job. Never give hope. You will get a job which is better for you where you can be respected and get the salary which you deserve. That's the reason it's taking long. Take it like this. I think parents should always encourage their children whatever they are doing. I really pray that you get a job soon and have your own house and car. All the best.

dont try so hard because there is always a right time for everything. dont be so in hurry. i know you are depress because i had been in the same situation. but did you know the secret of success? obey your parents. respect them so that they will bless you. you will feel it when your family is praying for you. if you are really looking for a job i suggest that you should go to a local agency. they will help you find a suitable job. good luck
