Hang in there!

I just wanted to encourage everyone who's struggling to find a job. I have posted on here so many times about not being able to find work regardless of everything I did. Been to over 40 interviews, filled out hundreds of apps, change my resumes, and build a new website to promote my skills. Nothing seemed to work. After 11.5 months I finally found a job doing what I love. Why? Because I never gave up when people said go get a job just to have one or try something different. I refused and stayed true to my belief even when it was hard and I almost lost everything. Guys I know its not easy to do that when you have a child or family depending on you but I promise you not settling will pay off in the end. I'm currently making more money in my new roll and I get to change lives while doing it!

Angela, Congratulations!!!! That is good advice for all of our job seekers. The jobs are out there and sometimes you may have to take a chance and try something new. In the long run life is like a box a chocolates you ight be surprised at what you get. I too stepped out of my comfort zone and landed a job. It is the right job for me right now.

Thanks for your encouragement. I am struggling to find a job too. I have updated my resume over and over again, and not going on many interviews.
