No luck in finding a job (1 Viewer)

It's not fair, I seem to have no luck in finding a job. I was looking forward to working heaps this summer since I have 3 months off from uni and need money to pay my dad back some of the $3500+ I owe him, but it's already halfway through and I still have no job. In the past 2 months I have applied for around 20-25 jobs and all that has come from them is one job I got which is in February and it only goes for 6 days. I'm so desperate, and to make it worse my parents won't get off my back and are always having a go at me - they think i'm lazy cos i haven't got a job yet even though i've been trying. Seriously I've been looking every single day for a job but still nothing. Aahh what should I do? And don't say...walk around all the shops and hand my resume in to all of them...been there done that, it doesn't work.

Yeah i too have had no luck in finding a job. Its really frustrating me.

Yesterday (13 Jan 05), I went to Westfields Parramatta and handed in a resume to 4 places. Hopefully i'll get a call soon.

march is a good time to look around too especially with coles myer etc...

 

[kalli]

try call centre places... not telemarketing!!! they are hiring all the time for permanent part time work. u can work in the evenings after uni. some places are really flexible too...

 

[yenta]

Yeah, I have tried a few call centre places, but didn't get any i'm guessing because I have no experience on phones...it sucks, u can't get a job without experience but u can't get the experience without a job

^ Do you have the proper qualifications? Like is your resume all nice and pretty and full of feats of daring and cunning?

mmm i have had not much luck either ... i started half way through november (after hsc ) ... i got an interview with coles ... got thru all that then went to see a manager .. and basically didnt get the job cus they needed me to start straight away and i was going away for 10 days (schoolies ) about 3 days after this interview. THEN first day of schoolies at the beach i got a phone call from this lady saying 'are u still interested in working for us' .. im like 'yeah, but im on the beach in qld right now, wont be back till next weekish' .... they also wanted me to start straigh away !!!! ... and ever since i havnt heard back about nething else ...

lol yenta.. don't worry about it.. there's plenty of chances.

if you're willing to get a job you'll get one..

 

[MiSSi]

yenta.. ur not the only one. im pretty much similar in ur position also. it sucks.

 

[jlh]

i'm in the same boat as you yenta..

i was hoping to save some cash these holidays so i can go to student exchange. plus it'll keep me busy during the 3.5 months of holidays...

although i'm not as active at looking for jobs as some, i do look. i've sent my resume to like 50 places and still nothing yet....
