What are you looking for?

I just applied to a usps job and the application process was glitchy and was very, very time consuming and draining.
I'm pretty much looking for anything though. I'm looking at the IRS page now. My major was in business though.

Sounds like you want to work with the Feds, eh? Are you networking?

Well, I dont want to..but i dont know what to do really. At least they have decent benefits.

Not really.

OK. Most jobs are found by people networking (hint hint)
And see if this site can help you out: https://www.usajobs.gov/
How many pages is your resume, and have you done some research on the Web about how to write an excellent one?

Well, I've tried but I dont have many opportunities to meet people.
Some people have promised me jobs too but it never happens so its disappointing. I dont know.

Just one page. I hear its not good to have over a page and I have my sister who is involved in human resources to edit my resume and cover letters.

LinkedIn is a good social site for networking. I would recommend looking into putting a profile together on there if you haven't already.

Good Morning. Read your posts and wanted to say I have 23 year old twins so I know how tough it can be. My son got a good job in his field by volunteering with the homeless teaching reading and was able to network through his volunteer work. Just a suggestion.

good morning! Cisco gave me a free pass at their newest certification, so I've got that going for me. Now to fail miserably!

Thanks! Just reading it now. And that makes way too much sense. How silly of them.


And Happy Saturday kids! I'm trying to clean and get some other things done. Have a great weekend all!
