Re: Job Search Frustration

[(Anonymous)]

Cold call companies in person. The HR people in most large-ish companies will be only to happy to have something to do, i.e., give you an overview of their company, to see if you'd be a good fit, if there's anything they have available. You might even get an interview, though maybe not on the spot. That's the only way to do it, though pounding the pavement can get pricey transport-wise (try to take public transit, if you can, and get off at major business "hubs" where there are lots of companies with jobs like your former one--or better!--available).

Last advice: Never settle, no matter how desperate you are. Make sure you're going to be happy with the company you end up with, and that they're going to be happy with you, i.e., that you will be a "good fit" -- you can generally pick up on the corporate culture from the "scenario" questions they ask you, which should be your deciding factor right there. (I.e., "What would do if a coworker came and told you a really vicious rumour about another coworker?" There's your red flag there's a lot of gossip and backstabbing in the company. Though they won't word it as boldly as that.)

Good luck! And as cliche as this sounds, think of it as an opportunity to get something better / move forward onto something different. Though losing your job sucks, it could very well end up getting you further ahead in your life, than you would otherwise. That's what happened to me!

Never settle, no matter how desperate you are.

LOL! I'm sorry, this is so 'funny' I just had to... Let's say I lose my job now, I will have to get a new one with the same pay almost straightaway or I will lose my apartment within two months and be forced to move back in with my mother.

It completely depends on the OP's situation I guess is what I'm trying to say. I mean, it's a great ideal and OP could take a job that maybe doesn't fit but pays the bills and continue looking for that perfect job.

(To be honest, if I was hiring and someone came on a job interview and told me they had been unemployed for some time and had turned down job opportunities because they felt they weren't a "good fit"... Obviously they wouldn't tell me, because honestly I don't think that is something you want to tell a future employer... /ramble)
