1 month.. still unemployed Mooneyes: I'm still unemployed after a month. I got back an email from one job I was really hoping for today. I didn't even make the interview cut. I'm trying not to get worried, but I have no means of support. I'm trying to take care of myself best I can. I never thought about an education being a hinderance. But I have been told a number of times now that it is. No one will hire me, because they think I won't stay.
Well my application is out there for my top choice job. I'll cross my fingers and pray.

Re: 1 month.. still unemployed alonewith2: I understand perfectly about the education requirement. I have 5 years of college classes under my belt, but since I lack the little piece of paper stating DIPLOMA, I get turned down for jobs all the time. It really upsets me because I only apply for jobs that I know I would be able to do. My experience should speak for itself, but it doesn't. I don't understand how someone with no experience and just a diploma can be considered better hires than someone who has most of the education and a lot of the experience. Oh well........good luck!
Re: 1 month.. still unemployed Mooneyes: Ah yes I guess I should clarify. I have too much education. No one wants to hire me because I'm overeducated. I didn't think it would be a problem. But then that's trying to find any job. They would rather have someone with no degree that is more likely to stay working at $7 an hour for years.
