I have been applying to jobs for 1.5 years and nothin!
Do you have a bad referee?


did the right thing
What does that mean for you? When I worked in the Middle East, I found that the locals were surprised that their Islamic studies was not helpful for employment in petroleum engineering!


I have to corrupt
Marketing might help.


lied on my resume
Try advertising,, law or politics. 


invented a job
Since you are a creative person, maybe art or banking?


How much worse can it get
You haven't mentioned a military career.


people all over the world living in the conditions
Compassion is required.

Drop in to the Depression Support forum.

Tulipsbreeze, I wish there was something I could do that would help you in your present situation, unfortunately all I can do is offer my sympathy. I can see your frustration and despondence, and I know that sometimes when we're at our lowest point, a way out seems too far out of reach.


You do sound as if you're at a breaking point, and I really hope you have someone near you that you can turn to to support you emotionally. I hope that things will turn around for you - I'm sending my hopes for a brighter future.

You're not the only one here who has had to put up with the jivey economy.


I got laid off after spending just a few days shy of three years at my previous job, and spent a little over a year trying to find work.


The only person who would hire me was the editor of a small-town newspaper who needed a driver to cover one of the delivery routes. That meant hauling my carcass out of bed at 12:30 AM (usually after only an hour's sleep) and going out in all weather in order to lob papers out in the boonies.


And those were the good old days. With the price of gas and the slowly dropping subscriber rates, the editor has stripped us all of our routes and instead assigned us to slap mailing labels on the papers; postage is now cheaper than the fuel repayments we were getting. I'm barely even making enough hours to put gas in my car now, let alone pay tuition. And as the lowest guy on the totem pole, if the boss says we need to cut another position to help make ends meet I'll be the first one out the door. 


So don't take it personally that you don't have work. You aren't alone.


In fact, that you would go so far as to destroy a Bible and start a rant on an internet message board would suggest that you have some anger-management issues; a good employer would pick up on that in a heartbeat and refuse to hire you. Interviews are all about how you sell yourself, which is why we sometimes see jerks getting positions over people who would be better fits.


And that job you made up? Scrub your resume ASAP; if any of your future bosses find out about it, that'll be a black mark which will ruin your career for as long as you live.


 


As far as the "starving" bit goes, there's always unemployment assistance or even moving back home (which is what I had to do).

I'm at a mental breaking point in my life. I NEED A JOB! I have been applying to jobs for 1.5 years and nothin!  I am spiritually torn now. I always thought that if you did the right thing, you would be blessed. I've been hanging on through desperation and prayer. Now I feel just to survive I have to corrupt. I have lied on my resume and invented a job that I do not have in order to put me ahead. How much worse can it get?


I feel so betrayed by God, this is absolutely HORRIBLE, but in a fit of rage I tore up my bible. Yes I did and I felt so liberated...all that energy and goodwill and HOPE and FAITH for nothin! I feel like I have been DUPED beyond comprehension. I feel IT IS A LUXURY TO BE ALL HIGH AND MIGHTY.


GEE look at people all over the world living in the conditions they live in. THERE IS SIMPLY NO GOD THAT "BLESSES" people.


I have been crying for days...I've had a mental breakdown and I don't know how much longer this ALL can go on.


If there was a god that would love me and bless me like I have prayed, rejoiced and had faith in for YEARS, I WOULD NOT BE PRACTICALLY STARVING and having to lie to get my needs met!
