Do you possibly have ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder?)\nI do have ADD and social and work environments are tough and yes I have lost jobs but I learn from \n\nhttp://www.addmtc.com/shortcut.html\n\n\n\nIn my experience, each of the following is a valuable clinical clue to the diagnosis of ADD/ADHD.\n\n\nVirtually ABSOLUTE indicators of ADD/ADHD brain chemistry\n\n   1. Hyperactivity/Fidgetiness\n   2. Impulsivity (hyperactivity of the mind)\n   3. Unexplained inattention for "boring" mental activities\n   4. Primary nocturnal enuresis or bedwetting while sleeping at night\n   5. Episodic Explosiveness, also called Tantrums or Emotional Outbursts\n\nStrongly SUGGESTIVE indicators of ADD/ADHD brain chemistry\n\n   6. Waking slowly, not snapping awake, and/or being excessively grouchy without reason in the morning (91%)\n   7. Difficulty falling asleep at night (73%)\n   8. Unexplained irritability and easy frustration (very common)\n   9. Unexplained negativity with or without depression (common)\n  10. Verbal and/or spatial dyslexia (55%)\n\n\n\nWhatever you believe will happen!\nso  find that job you will love!\n\n\nTips for a job hunt. There is more hiring happening!\n\n� "Forget what's available out there" and go for the job you want the most.\n\n� Change the message on your answering machine: Put the kind of work you're looking for in your greeting. "Hi this is Heather. I'm busy right now looking for a job in the finance department at a startup company. I recently saw a candidate wearing a t-shirt with a brief summary of their skills. Now that is marketing yourself!\n\n� Write the phrase "Pay no attention to whether there is an opening (vacancy)" on a piece of paper, paste it on your bathroom mirror and memorize it and repeat it to yourself every morning. It will speed up your job search and you'll keep a positive outlook. Use the web and library (ask the reference librarian) to get ideas on companies you should target.\n\n� Concentrate the majority of your search on companies with fewer than 100 employees. Just because the larger firms are having layoffs doesn't mean the smaller companies aren't hiring. The recovery is already underway at smaller companies.\n\n� Get out of the house. Knock on doors. Do research online or at the library about the places you'd like to work. Then stop in and ask if they are hiring anyone with your skills. Your physical presence will make an impression on the hiring authority. Or tell them "I already e-mailed my resume and\nI would like to put a face with the resume I sent (have a hard copy in your hand). Tell the receptionist that you need her help. At one company where I worked an applicant showed up in a bunny suit, skip that bunny suit idea.\n\n� Be willing to look at different kinds of jobs: full-time, part-time, short term contracts, temporary jobs etc. Consider these jobs as a bridge.\n\n� Join a job seeking support group to get you going and to sustain your momentum. This is so crucial. You are not alone out there. Don't miss an opportunity to network. My hairstylist and Doctor have referred many great candidates to me. I heard about someone who told their Doctor they needed work, they had a job the next day. Join your alumni! Network at your church. Keep seeking new ways to market yourself.\n\n� Make a simple business card with the job you are looking for along with your contact info and e-mail address. The office supply stores sell the business cards stock so you can print them at home and save a bundle. I added a postage stamp sized photo to my business card. I saw a minature resume on one side of biz card.\n\n� Don't be wearied by rejection. The more noes you get out of the way, the closer you are to a yes.\n\n� Dont' just e-mail your resume. Try Faxing and snail ( U.S.) mailing your resume & cover letter. Companies are overwhelmed by e-mailed resumes. I know someone who got an inter

There are decent jobs everywhere you just have to look for them instead of asking strangers. Go to your local county unemployment office and apply there. Watch newspaper ads and some of the temp services so you keep abreast of all of them.

The most important thing to remember about job searches is that you should use a combination of methods regardless of your location.\n\n    Networking - Register at your local Unemployment Office (you don't need to be on unemployment to register for their assistance). They often will have networking groups on a regular basis. They also are a good source for the jobs that never show up in the paper or online.\n\n    Check your local paper -- In many cases the paper's classified are now online.  One word of caution -- sometimes not all ads are in the online edition of the classifieds. \n\n    Search Smart Online -- If you don't have a lot of time, spend most of your time at sites that aggregate the job feeds from several job search engines. Prominently these include indeed.com and thingamajob.com.\n\n    Organization -- I am the lead developer of a free online application that allows you to track your ads, jobs you apply for, send or print mail merged correspondence, and track your job search history. This site is jobsearchlog.com \n\nBest of Luck,\n\nMichael

Employers are begging for people where I live.  Are you sure you aren't being too picky about a job?  Have you considered moving?  How about upgrading your job skills?\n\nSince nobody knows where you live it would be difficult to tell you how to apply for a public handout.  It differs from place to place.

How many jobs have you had in the past 2 years?  If you jump from job to job every few months, you're going to discover that it's harder to get a job in the future.  Employers don't want to hire someone who has shown a past tendency to leave jobs after just a few months.  You really should suck it up and try to stay in one position for a year or so to show that you have stability.

I had the same issues for the past 6 years...fortunately I dont have to work but the job market is not very good right now...I would try rewriting my resume and use connections to help with the search.  I dont think its you I think its the market...If those things work then great and if not no worries keep looking...trust me the job market ispoor right now.

get off the computer, get off the couch, and start putting in applications. it's harder to get a job than keep one. but if you don't put yourself out there, you won't get one.

No, you are dealing with the government, go and fill out their darn form. during the interview, explain to the person how you have been looking for work as well as the job , date and time you sent an application, it would help if you had had an interview and was turned down.
