Ok people, I have a question, but first, some back ground: I have just recently graduated from college(lost my job and graduated on the same day no less). Now I am job hunting and it is not going very well. I had a position lined out with a very large company. But, the man I was speaking with canceled my interview. Now, I cannot get ahold of him and it has been several weeks. Arg!!!

Anyway, the question: why is it that when you have a job, jobs are plentiful, but when you absolutly need one, cannot pay the bills without one, they are nowhere to be found? Except for asking if people want fries with that.

Answer me this...

Would if I could but I can't so I won't.

Now say that five times real fast when you are very drunk and see if you get stared at like I do whenever I do it.

I feel your pain. I'm stuck in a job that makes me dread waking up every morning, and I'm desperately searching for a new one, but now that I need a new job, there's nothing.

When you have a job, jobs are plentiful. Good economy + education = money in your pocket

Tell you what. Use your knowledge to bring the economy back on its feet and I can assure you that hamburger-flipping will not be in your future.

It's a matter of shit rolling downhill.

Have you ever had to fire someone for something you don't agree with?

It ends up being part of the job.

Difficult feces.

My first week out of Management training, November 31st, I get handed a stack of 6 employee file folders to RIF (reduction in force.) My boss told me it would be easy since I didn't know any of these people and that I wasn't permanently assigned to that store. He was wrong. I threw up for 2 days. I ended six careers that day.

Everytime my employees tell me how wonderful and easy my job must be, I think of that day. It's quite humbling.
