• I've been lucky to have my job for 1 1/2 years now.  But I was laid off from my last job.  I literally threw myself into looking for a new job, spending most of the day searching online, filling out apps, faxing, mailing.  It took me 3 months to find the job I have now.  But that was then. 

  I believe that there is a job out there for you!  Keep in mind that there ARE lots of people looking so the employers have tons of apps to go thru.  A friend of mine started applying about 3 months ago and she is just now starting to get responses.  So don't give up hope.......unfortunately it's just a slow process.

• I am sure things will work out. Keep a positive outlook and things will eventually turn around for you. Hang in there! And when the great job comes around let us all know!

• Thank you for both for your responses. I appreciate the good encouragements. Yes, I do believe HR's are overwhelmed with so many applications/resume to review. I am taking this time off to be productive for my future job. I am able to attend Toastmasters now to improve on my communication skills. Also reading books from Life coaches for guidance in career assessment.God has a job out there for me. I will be patience and enjoy my time off to refresh my mind mentally and physically.

  Thanks again. Have a great week

• Suzy, I am going through the same thing, I have been out of work now for 5 months and have been faxing, mailing, emailing, and nothing.  It is terrible frustrating, stressful.  I've actually lost 2 jobs in 2 yrs. now.  If you ever want to talk, drop me a line here.  Sandy
