Having a Hard Time Finding a Job... :/


Question Posted Thursday December 20 2012, 11:18 am

I don't know what it is... I've been filling out application after application, but for some reason nothing is coming through. I've been applying to caregiver jobs because that's what I have experience in. I take care of an elderly lady two days a week but would like to find something else as well. Also I'm in college currently working on getting a degree in Gerontology (Study of the Aging) I have my level one med aide certification as well as first aid/cpr certification. I've even went on a couple interviews but there all telling me oh well call you back, and they never do... -_-
I'm very confident in the type of work I do (been doing it for about 4 years since I was 18, I'm now 22), and I thought the medical field was always the one job that was always going to be in HIGH demand, but perhaps I'm wrong.
Some of them are telling me with the holidays it's just hectic... Well wouldn't they WANT to hire someone during that time period???

And another question I have is I have is how do people with ZERO experience, no license, and no transportation get a job over someone that does have all those things?? It just boggles my mind...

Do you have any tips? Perhaps I'm messing something up...

Any advice is appreciated. :)
