Unemployment

Well....unfortunately I’m still unemployed. I’ve tried my hardest to find a job, Lord knows I have. I had a work source representative look over my resume and correct it because I thought my resume was horrible and the reason nobody was contacting me. The worker created my resume over, but it had typos and in my opinion just not up to par. I told her I didn’t have the resources to buy clothing for an interview should someone gave me a chance, and I was left with a feeling that you’re on your own. I’m unsure what will happen next, but for sure God would never allow me to get this far and then abandon me. Please pray for me! I need positive thoughts and a way get thrift clothing for an interview. I’m feeling hopeless and unsure why. I’m feeling discouraged, but again I know God has the final say! #unemployed

Hi @Tameeka Thompson , I still have a copy of your last resume and I'm open to offer you some resume optimization tips if you're still looking for feedback.

Question... are you primarily interested in Bartending jobs or is your main goal to land a Customer Service/Clerical job opportunity?

Why is this important? I did a quick scan of your previous resume in search of in-demand transition skills for both Bartending and Customer Service jobs, (listening, multi-taking and problem solving) and found no hits.

A resume built without the right in-demand keywords will NOT rate high enough to pass the initial automated online job application process. This means your resume and application profile will not reach human hands.

We can help you correct this!

@Tameeka Thompson sounds like you're taking the right steps - keep at it! Resume work is a continual process. There are a couple of articles that you might find interesting: @deleted user wrote about the benefits of having more than 1 resume and @Elyssa Duncan explains the importance of including keywords in a resume.

As far as professional clothing goes - you may consider connecting with a Dress for Success Houston partner for a referral. Good luck and keep us posted!

Good morning I’m not working either . Please keep the faith and continue to pray, trust God and apply. God has not left us so please don’t give up. I get discouraged at times but it’s the Devil so keep pushing. I am unsure where you are located but check thrift stores for your interview clothing. I’m sending prayers and hugs. Kimberly
