I am so frustrated. Since I've moved to Ohio - I can't land a job. I've had several promising jobs (with one business telling me I had the job) only to find out later that someone else got the position - they had me hanging for a good week until they had the gall to tell me. I almost wrote a strongly worded letter.....
I am not one bit exagerating when I say this, but I've applied to over 300+ jobs and I don't know what I need to do anymore. I applied to everything from A-Z while avoiding the local pizza shop - I refuse to work for less that what I'm worth. (I love pizza but still!)
I was recently told to look into the FBI since I'd qualify - but once I looked in to it - I'd have to lose another 20-30 lbs to even get into the Physical part of the training - I'm still fat - which makes me want to cry. I lost how much weight, and I have a 27" waist and I'M FAT!?
Yes, I have had "cheesy" jobs that lasted for a few days/weeks while in the State, until I told myself - "what are you doing?" You have 4 degrees and here you're doing minimum wage jobs.... Yes, I said 4 degrees! I'm also in that overqualified category for most jobs - but a blessing to those that want someone educated and yet don't want to pay them. I don't like being used.
I've lost all of my weight, I am a clean cut all American gal that has 18 plus years of school and I've had great experience in past jobs and YET, I can't get a job here. Is it because I'm not Ohioian????
I even improved on my "dress" wardrobe and even tweaked my resume - and still....NOTHING!
I need to cry!
Im at this point now of giving up and I can't afford to. I'm almost tempted to say heck (that was a weak word, but I have to keep this clean) to this all, and go back to school - but again....would I find a job with a Masters degree in 3 years??????? My career choice would be either Doctor of Physical Therapy or a Physicans Assistant - do I jump on the wagon for this Fall's courses?.
I am getting close to knocking on a "homeless Shelter" door that I'm getting scared - I don't know what to do. I've lived a clean life - never been picked up for speeding, I don't smoke or drink and yet - what is wrong with me? I don't even swear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am an intelligent being and I make an awesome student but come on - I can't make a living being a student - can I????????
I need advice, I need a shoulder to lean on.............
