Job-searching has always been the most demoralizing of any experience in life for me... Wandering around from business to business, spending hours gathering applications, spending hours & hours & hours filling them out, writing down the same information over & over & over again until my hand is so cramped that I can hardly hold the pen, spending hours taking all the applications back...& then not getting a single call-back...
I don't have a College Degree, & I don't have money for College, so I need a job. A good job. One that will finally let me move out. I'm 25 1/2, for Pete's sake, & I'm still living at home!!! I'm desperate, DESPERATE to move out!!! I need a decent job, but I don't know what to look for! I have nearly 6 years of experience in Retail, but I'd like to get out of that, & it doesn't pay that well, anyway.
I have no clue what kind of job I'm looking for---none! I have absolutely no idea! I'm so envious of those people who know what they want to do...who have something they're passionate about... That would make it so much easier... I heard a quote once: "I thought I wanted a career. Turns out I just wanted paychecks." It sounds kind of petty, but that's where I'm at! As sad as it is, "Money makes the world go 'round." I need money! I'm willing to work for it! Somebody hire me!
But how do I find a good job? What do I look for? Where do I look? How do I look?! I don't get it! How am I supposed to do this?! And the economy is t-e-r-r-i-b-l-e! Getting any job is hard enough, let alone getting a good job! And I see so many losers with jobs...numbskulls, douche-bags, knuckle-draggers, & all kinds of jerks from the bottom-rung of society...as my dad put it "How many rocks did they have to turn over to find these guys???"
I just...I dunno...I'm 25 1/2, still living at home, broke, itching for independence, & with no idea of how to get it...
"Life's a bitch, then you die."

Have you tried utilizing websites like monster.com and saltlakecityhelpwanted.com?
Keep looking, you'll find something. Be sure to have a nice looking resume, a cover letter and call back the places you drop your resume off after a couple days and see what is going on with it. Also, be sure to dress well, smile and be cordial to everyone you meet during the process, even for just filling out applications.
If you're willing to work in Ogden, Convergys is usually hiring and Weber State often has positions available.
