I have applied to so many jobs online, and even had an interview for a job with a hospital. But, then again, I received yet another rejection email. I have gotten several rejection emails (saying they chose someone else) from places like Walgreens, several office jobs, and even the local grocery store! I have been out of the workforce (not even volunteering) for over 16 years. Plus, we have moved (just last summer) to an area where there is a large college. I have heard from many employers that they receive over 400 applications for each individual job. How am I supposed to get a job where there are so many others out there applying who either have more recent experience, or they are younger?! I have skills and experience. I simply have not used them in a paying job for many years. This is very frustrating! I am now going to apply to every available job, unless I feel it is not a safe environment, or during hours that are impossible for me to work.
