I was out of work last year for 6 months and the one advice I got that really stuck with me came from my mom. She said "Your full time job now, is looking for a job."

You have to repeat the same info on the job application because that is the employers document, not yours via resume. When you sign an application you are stating the info is true. No such sig on the resume.

yes it sucks to do it double,,, but if you dont then they are going to look at what kind of employee is that, could not fill out the entire app just because she submitted a resume.... In all perspective it is time consuming but do it, hand carry in those apps and resumes both complete and put a name and face together... Be assertive :flowerforyou:

What I dislike is having to fill out online personality tests when I apply for a job! I find them unnerving, as if they're trying to throw me off and detect some major character flaw in the process. They ask the same ridiculous questions over and over in different ways. It can take up to an hour to fill these tests out. I am getting to the point where I don't apply for jobs that have these kinds of applications because it's a major time drain, and because I'm not getting any calls from companies I"ve applied to who use the test. Do I have a major character flaw???

Yup, and you are self screening for it.

"I'm not willing to put in the time to do labor that I don't consider worthy of my abilities and I still expect to be hired" is what a potential employer will think.

vote for Obama if you want to spend the next 4 years looking for a job

Erm it is a worldwide recession. The whole world is going through it.
Obama wasn't the Prime Minister of the UK..... We have it here too.
Unfortunately the world and its economy turns circles, every "x" amount of years we have a horrible recession and it affects the whole world not just one country.

Try Temping... I did that and ended up being kept on. It was a long 9 months of crappy pay and no holiday pay etc but it was worth it in the end!

Please, lets keep politics out of at least one place. I am so sick of hearing about both of them. Let's face it they both stink. Anyone that would make a good candidate is run through the mud so badly that they won't run. Period.
