Seriously depressed!! just looking for some advice pls don't

What state are you in? Have you tried registry?

You never know what is around the corner. It's hard to see people who are landing these great jobs, and are seemingly leading these amazing lives. But everyone has their demons, whether or not they show them outright to the world. You will find what you're looking for. It's only a matter of time. Stay the course. That's the best possible advice I can give. Sending a friend request along with this.

I was unemployed for 8 months right after my daughter was born in 2009. I left for "maternity leave" little did I know I was actually being laid off. They didn't tell me that until I was a week before coming back - I was on unemployment for 6 months after my maternity leave (6 weeks). My mom was unemployed for 18 months - it is the economy. I am sure you aren't doing anything wrong; the economy just sucks. Keep trying - remember everything happens for a reason. You will find the perfect job soon enough. Keep your head up and be proud of your degree. Oh, by the way, I can totally understand the student loans issues. I owe over $19,000 in student loans and I can't pay them right now. I keep putting them off.

you can probably turn this around by being thankful for the things you have and not throwing a pity party about the things you don't. you were blessed with another day. give thanks for that and keep it moving.

I have had several friends who have had great success, a ton of great experience, and a ton of great experiences as travel nurses.

one day at a time. My mom used to say, "God never gives us more than we can handle and when he gives us tough situations it only makes us stronger for what lies ahead." Things will get better when you least expect it! Chin up.:flowerforyou:

A lot of finding a job is knowing how to market yourself. I'm glad you met with the professional to work on your resume -- that will help. When you get an interview, dress nicely, don't wear a lot of accessories (maybe a simple necklace and one ring), don't overdo your makeup, don't overkill it with perfume. Hold your head high and show that you're confident, but don't be cocky. Smile, don't be afraid to crack a joke as long as it's appropriate. And be patient. It's hard to find a job in the current economy. Just keep trying. And maybe don't look in the traditional places. See about being a home health aide, or working as a school nurse, or something of that nature. Don't limit yourself to hospitals and doctor's offices.

Good luck!

Don't feel bad, my wife is an RN. With years of experience. She has sent out hundreds of resumes and has gotten a call back on maybe 3, 4 tops. Even worse for the past few years she was an independent contractor so she can't even collect unemployment.

FML!

Your university should have a Career Center that can help you. Call your Alumni Office and ask about it. They can help you network with potential employers or other alums in the field that you're in. I work for an Alumni Office at a university, and we often will have employers send job postings to us because they're looking to hire from here before posting it to the public. With all of the money you paid for college, let it work for you now! Also, ask your Alumni Office if they offer the option to audit classes. That's when you can take classes free of charge. You don't get credit for them and they don't go on your transcript, but it's something you can put on your resume and gain some extra skills while you job search - it'll help make you more employable. The other option is to go to your local hospital and ask about volunteer opportunities. Again, not employment - but if you have extra time, those are even more skills you can add to your resume! Best of luck and please don't give up! The right job is out there for you!
