Time and Time again

When i first started Looking for A job back in my Junior year of high school i knew that it was going to be a difficult challenge To find a job. with the Economic Reccession and the fact that most employers took in having general experince in the work place as almost a mandatory status for any who seek jobs. yes the chances of me finding a job bck then was little to none but i had confidence in my self and never gave up.

During my entire Junior year i filled out applications after applications to many many jobs and As expected many of them did not even offer a return call. the many that did call usally just called to tell me that i was over looked for the job but my application would be kept on file. the general problem bck then was that i was still in school and had a limited work schedule but at first i though this was not a problem. most jobs claim they offer flexable schedules and for most if not all the jobs i applied for i always highlighted part time and even Full time depending if the job was in the surrounding area where i lived. so i though at least some jobs would be able to offer me some type of work. another problem that reared its ugly head was that fact they kept telling me that i needed job experience. i could understand this for some of the jobs i applied for like macy, JC penny, Etc. but the others were jobs where Entry lvl workers were supposed to start from Like Giant, Shoopers, K-mart, etc and when they started telling me i needed exp i was abit confused. now bck in my junior year of high school the only items i can put down for job experience was the summer wrks programs my father started enrolling me in at the time i started high school. there they usually started getting us ready to enter the job  market by giving us practice in customer service and other job preps. but for some reason most if not all jobs i applied for bck then did not usally hold it in high regards leaving me with nothing but the few odd jobs i do around the neighborhood but even that was held in even less regards than the other. leaving me in managers as an en-exerpirenced applicaant.

Now as my Junior year came to a close and my senior year started up in high school i was able to build  up resume with more  activites and certifacations. during my seinor year i got my Certifactions in microsoft offices(Excluding Access And out look at the time) and even got in a few voluteers services with teachers. at this point i though i was abit more qualified to be able to get job. heck i even got half days during the week since i finished most of my senior classes bck in my junior years. so now i can be more qualified for more part time positions. so with my head held high i started applying for more Jobs. and u know what NONE DID NOT EVEN CALL BCK IM NOT KIDDING. I KNOW I FILLED OUT APPLICATIONS FOR MANY MAY JOBS IN MY AREA AND I DID NOT GET A SINGLE CALL BCK. NOT A 1!!!!. This confused me to the very end. i reviewed the resumes i sent out, the cover letters, i even called up a few of my references and everything checked out. i called bck almost all the job i apllied for to see if they ever called or did i need to call them bck most of them said the same thing "i have no job experience or that i was still in school" ok 1 just because i have no job experinec but those hours of community service and those certifactions should show u that im person willing to learn and gain experience in the work place. 2 the times i sign up for that i was avaliable and the number of hours i was willing to wrk along with the fact that I was mainly looking for part-time wrk was more then enough to get me some wrk. but no apparently there must be somthing i was missing was the 1 thing scrolling across my mind at a fast pace. what was it that these jobs wanted from that i have not already offered. so yet again i ended my senior year with no job. and as i came up into my freshman year at college the one thing going through my head was that "there was no way i could not get a job in college" words that today i look and grip to still.

What Better Way to Vent steam

So lets See I'm A hard working College Student at a University that screws me over with my finnacial Aide almost every Semester Causing me to take A very unWelcomed Break durring The summer. Stacked on top of that im also finding it very infuriating to Find a Job to help pay for college and Everyday items Thanks to the Combination of A recession and many many empolyers who Will give applications a second look unless they have Some Job experience and Coupled with the fact they get Stacks upon Stacks of applications a day and im starting to doubt that they actually look through them all they probably just Skim through it. And lets stack that on the amount Bills i have to pay which is actualy just my phone bill plan which share with my no sense of money sister who will talk on the phone from Mourning to night somtimes right on to the next day and pirposely buying stuff that she assumes is free cause it says so but she fails to read the fine print. adding that T-mobile my phone service constantly Sends her Text and E-mails on these product probably know she has no sense of money and budgeting so this is just as much there as it is her's making the bill i hae to split with her always High and usally ending with our phone service being suspeneded for the month until we are able to pay a fraction of the bill. sure she has my parent pay for her half but i have to do a combination of odd jos and digg into my already Dimminished Savings to pay mine which i would not mine if this problem wnt repeat Every Dam Bill PAYMENT. and u know what my parent dnt even bring down any punishment on her for this. its just "Your Grounded for a year" and u know what they always forget she grounded after a week so she off the hook and aparently she does not learn anything since she goes right back to doing the samething.

So Stack all that Together and my problem  almost Reach and or Scrape the Sky. but if i Add on other problems that Branch from this problem the Stack Shoots through the sky Shooting throught The moon, Venus and at the rate its going will soon be at neptune by the end of this year and i forgot where i was going with this analogy. but anywho i have alot to be angry about and not many ways to vent it. I tryed gamming but going on a fucking postal rampage in GTA can only go so far with out people thinking your lunatic waiting to happen and gardening is relaxing yes but i have lost my cool everytime a kid rusns through it so yeah not wrking well. so the next best thing is bloging about my random problems cause its like talking about your problems without actually talking about your problems.
