Need job today!
It has been a week and 1 day without work, and now I am to the point of depression! I have applied to so many jobs related to what I have experience in (28+ yrs cust serv & bilingual Spanish, fluent 49 years!) and now it is do now or I got no hope! Already started with a temp agency but very frustrating! So I ended up applying for even retail jobs minimum wage! Anything to find something now! My fiance is already frustrated and stressed enough at his job, now add more to me, not having a job and not being able to help with rent or utilities! Don't know how long it will be until my bills start to add up! I also had vacation time for August and plane tickets that are non-refundable, but I cannot go without $$, so my savings will be affected by all this! I try to be positive and pray and hope something, ANYTHING comes up, but day 8 and no job, it is starting to get to me! Very frustrated at all these spam phone calls I am getting that somehow now I am looking for a job, yet the caller has a "foreign" accent and honestly, I do not trust, nor will I give my info to anyone unless confirmed, you are from a company or agency in the town/state I live in! Anyone in the same boat, I appreciate your input, or criticism!
Silvia - take a breather! 1 week is honestly not very long. You can't expect to get a job immediately. Keep working with your temp agencies until they find you something. And keep applying to 2-3 jobs each day, but also remember to keep track of them so you can follow up. It takes some work on your part, but it also takes time. I know it's frustrating and scary to be without a job, but just remember that something is coming your way.
