First 6-9 months doing the self-employment/under the table jobs.. After that things died down.. Been looking for any kind of job lately, but I have had no luck. Can't even get an interview out of the TONS of apps I put in. It's really rough, only being 20. Slim to moderate experience with misc. things.... Anybody got any ideas, or can offer some advice to me for find a job? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I'm not sure what type of work your looking for but here is a thought. You may have to take a job in the service area like waiting tables in a restaurant or working in a retail store for now. Might not be your dream job but at least you can make some money while your trying to find another. It's easier to find another job when you already have one.

Sep 12 2009, 12:49 AM	Learning Tone Seeker Posts: 2.054 Joined: 2-September 08	The economy is TOUGH right now. People who thought they could retire by now or are retired already are having to work or go back to work because they watched their retirement accounts evaporate over the last year or so. People are losing their jobs left and right and all this adds up to a high demand for jobs and a low supply of jobs. Unfortunately it seems that your age group is going to feel the brunt of this economic fiasco for a long time. Good luck though.....I hope you find something.....

Prom season is coming up, maybe get a part time job helping out a florist or some place that rents tuxedos. I mean if there are high schools nearby.

They are always hiring, and you get to make decent bucks. Hell if you study for a 4 month class about Phlebotomy, you can get a job full time in the hospital, and all you do is draw blood from patients. There are a lot of jobs in the Medicine profession, but the only thing you really need are manners, people skills, and A LOT OF PATIENCE.

You've been looking a lot longer then me, though I've been running around looking for jobs too. That's the reason I'm not as active as usual these days. I've applied to everything from every supermart in the area, to music stores and gas stations. So far I've only been called into four job interviews, three of which I got declined the job, and I'm still waiting for the last place to call. Apparently not easy times, but hang in there!

Plus it may provide you with demonstrable skills. See, I have heard that too. But see since this is a small city/large town. There isn't much to go around. I actually got some really good advice the other day from my dad. He said the best, and easiest way to get a job. Is it just know people. I thought about it, and I realized. Every job I have gotten. Was because I knew somebody. He told me to go out and mingle more. I have a little bit at the town fair. I now may have a roofing job coming here shortly that can bring a little cash in, and I actually may be able to take a cooking position at a bar. My sister is dating the head chef. He is a complete metal head! He is awesome, so it seems to me. It really pays off to know somebody. So that's the advice I wanted to give out to other jobless people like me. Get to know somebody... It really helps! I really appreciate the comments, advice, and the help you guys are giving me. Thank you! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Vince, as a Phlebotomist I'm presuming he'd need a lot of PATIENTS TOO!!!! Seriously though, it's not just in the States that this is happening. In England we've just hit the highest number of Unemployed in 14 years! From a news report on the subject:- The recession's impact on young people was also underlined by jobless totals among 16-24-year-olds reaching 947,000 - the highest level since ONS records began in 1992. Hope something turns up for you soon! I know how you're feeling, as a Self-employed person I've had a ridiculously small amount of work this year and have been struggling to find work for myself!!!

However, there is an internship open at a local record label, unpaid but it might be an interesting opportunity. However they're doing interviews this friday and the guy hasn't gotten back to me yet about when he would like me to come in. Also it's a 30 minute or so drive but they say the scheduling is very flexible, so maybe I can work more hours less often to compensate. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
