Reply #21: It seems to be getting worse [View All]

7 months ago I could go on craigs list or monster or other big job sites and actually get an interview , now there are less than ahlf the amount of jobs and not one interview . The paper is the same way .

I get emails from head hunters who saw my resume but they are insurance training jobs at $7.50 per hour and miles away .

I went to vocational rehab as per the request of my shrink to continue on SDI for my depression and anxiety and even they tell me the job market is really bad , who knows what will come of this if anything . I will have to stick with what I know because most training and classes are 1 year and I don;t have a year left .

I get the strong impression there are many more job seekers than jobs so you are fighting alot of competition , many I call back say they have had 50 or more apps for the one position .

I fear there will be a depression soon , it is just not something you will see in the news most likely to avoid panic . I heard this month of May there were 310,000 new apps for unemployment .

Many areas claim alot of jobs but the jobs are cheap labor at best and I am in no way moving to florida or the south or back to chicago .

We just don;t have clear info on the job situation anywhere , it's a crap shoot and a sick joke .

I did not help the we allowed the box stores the opportunity to take over the country either just to save a buck we hung ourselves . Who would have imagined this was coming and so fast .
