I went back to school last year for pharmacy technician. My schooling was fully completed November of 2017. I have been applying for pharmacy technician positions but always get an email with saying not enough experience and they have other candidates with more experience. I have not given up on this career and get it will take time but time and time again getting the denial emails does get discouraging but I keep pushing on and apply for other jobs until my technician position comes through.

I was collecting unemployment of maximum $450 per week and was offered school and decided to do this while I waited patiently for working opportunity and then I found work but not for an employer. I worked on a few projects such as a balcony rebuild and a patio cover and a shower/tub tile project and refused to abuse the system and continue to collect unemployment while I worked on these jobs. I also continued to go to school and have been successful and am only a few weeks away from completing my school. I have also signed up and enrolled in another private school that stafts tomorrow and will continue until the end of August to become certified for reinforced concrete special inspector.
I have a few leads for more work but nothing currently at the moment and I'm negative in my account. I don't want to give up looking for work and don't want to abuse the privilege of unemployment wages. I believe in myself and am waiting for application for to revitalize my license that expired yet am looking for work as a Journeyman Carpenter that will pay me enough to survive these times of concerns. I need help and am reaching out for suggestions please. Thank you! Todd

After 5 months from graduating, I’ve been actively looking for a job without any success. But today, I’ve finally recived a on the spot offer to work for Menards as a Manager Trainee. Thanks a lot for everyone who prayed for me and never give up searching, God always keeps the best for us at the end.

I just recently graduated college as an Medical Office Assistant on April 23rd and I've filled out a number of applications and I still haven't had any call backs! Some of the jobs that I applied to don't allow calls. What should I do? No negative comments please!

I worked so hard to obtain a bachelor's degree and I am reaching almost a year post graduation with no job in my field. Now I am stuck with a large student loan and making less than I deserve. The system is set up to make us fail and put ourselves into thousands of debt, only to continue the vicious cycle of no opportunity for growth. Almost every job that is posted on career websites are seeking individuals who are already experienced and those who are bilingual. It's not fair to the people who worked hard, especially a single mother such as myself who struggled working two jobs while going to school full time. It's sad when people think we are the land of opportunity when it's nothing, but another way of keeping people in poverty. Working from paycheck to paycheck, burnt out, being replaced by modern technology and not having enough time to be with loved ones is no way to live. Now I'm contemplating whether if it is advisable to pursue a higher degree or another degree field which will only put myself into more debt without a guarantee of employment. Something has to give and start giving those who work hard, the opportunity to progress and enhance their lives!!!

After months of applying and rejection due to being a recent college grad with no experience... I finally was hired for a full time position that is exactly related to what I studied in college! Good things definitely take time, so always be patient and keep believing in yourself!!
