Hope and pray, start looking at things and applying. There are TONS TONS TONS TONS TONS of people looking for jobs, per job you probably will be facing 20-30 other people with applications

Networking to find a job is your best bet

I get around $400 a night doing this for 3 hours. It's worth the AIDs, STDs, and the humiliation. Na, in all serious... become a stripper TC.

It's not easy to pretend, just like it's not easy for a gay man to be straight. You'll feel uncomfortable. Feels good to be bisexual.

1. Make sure there is nothing objectionable on your Facebook/Twitter pages.

2. Make good resumes, focusing on how you can help the company acheive its goals; never talk about what you want to get out of the job. Be sure to outline why you are best for the job.

get resumes, fill them out, leave out the date and your signature, make master copies, and have a giant stack that you can turn in every week with virtually no effort on your part (after the first week or so that is).

Also a follow up phone call has statically been shown to help. Also Also if you get a job interview a follow up thank you email can help.

Start applying everywhere. Do not be picky with where you want to work. In today's economy, you need to take what is available. I'm currently working at McDonald's while I'm going to school. Sure, the job sucks, but at least I'm getting some needed money.

How does it feel to work at McDonalds? Is it easy as flipping a burger and shoving it into an oven? I'm a terrible cook so I'm a afraid to work anywhere that involves food.

I actually do not do any of the cooking at all. I usually am taking orders or doing stuff at the drive thru. I wasn't hired for grill so I couldn't tell you how that works out.

Whoa, and this whole time I thought it was switching positions ever couple of hours. Job sounds easy, but repetitively boring.

TC if you really want a job, don't apply everywhere (never worked for me). Apply at an employment agency, you will probably find a job within a few weeks.
