All true,
But I will tell you this...
The only thing you really have control of is your attitude! :)
People are looking for employees with a positive attitude and you just can't let the rejection beat you down...
There's always something out there...
I have a degree in Psycology, went in to sales 20 years ago, worked in sales for 9 years with my company and have been working with our top 52 customers in national accounts for the last 7 years.
My company laid off over 10% of our entire work force 2 months ago and is planning on another round in the next couple months, we initially had almost 300,000 employes.
Sometimes my mind tries to make me think negative, but what's the use of worrying when I just need to prepare.
Keep pressing forward with your dreams and remember these 2 things:
* Winners never quit and quitters never win!
* You have to make life happen for you, before it happens to you!
I've seen job listings sent to this list before and i encourage anyone with leads to keep sending them through...
Good luck to all...
make it a great day, Rick!

Yeah, and the sad thing is for me, they want to close my case by September. I went to school for medical transcription, but there's no work in it in the local area, and there wasn't before the recession either. It's going to be hard to get something with that education as it doesn't help much for other types of work.----- Original Message -----From: Johnston, RickSent: Wednesday, June 24, 2009 3:53 PMSubject: RE: [jfw-employment] how can i better define my job searches when using online job search tools?David,have you attempted working with a recruter or someone who can assist you directly.Web sights are mixed up with all sorts of features not intended for us the visually challenged! :)Many times you can use a drop down menu to scan through the job listings that are available, but this is not consistent.I also understand that in our current economic climate, many companies have frozen their hiring processes.i would suggest you check with a Braille institute or state rehab in your area and get some of the assistance our country still offers us! :)Good luck, it's really difficult out there right now!Thank you kindly, Rick!-----Original Message-----

Subject: [jfw-employment] how can i better define my job searches when using online job search tools?
Hi list members, i'd like to know how can i better define my job searches when i'm using on line sites when looking for jobs? I ask this question because when i do a search on the career-network site, that some times no matter how i word different searches, i come away with the same results. As an example, if i use the words entry level before typing the words data entry or data processing or data processor, i seem to get the same results, but i don't know why this is? I would appreciate any information that you might have. Thank you.
