Quote From: barbie_ Just needing to let off a little steam:
I have a highschool diploma. I've done college, TWICE. I recently graduated from a medical program with honours. However, I cannot seem to be able to get a decent job!! It's so hard to get a job in the hospital. My cousin did the medical course with me. He has next to no education (he didn't even finish highschool), HOWEVER, he got an interview for a job with a hospital, but I, someone who has highschool and college education, cannot even get an interview!!!! My friends all have decent jobs, and most of them never did college. Why is it that the ones who never went onto higher education have the good jobs, and I'm stuck bussing tables!
I'm only 21, and I plan on going back to school in January to get even more education. It's just so depressing. I hate my job. Well, I dont HATE it. It's a nice job to hold for someone my age and thats going to school; but I only make about $400 a month!! I'm also sick and tired of being scheduled in to work EVERY single weekend, including this thanksgiving weekend, I have to work a 10 hour shift, plus I'm closing every day and I won't be able to be with my family on thanksgiving! I havn't been able to spend time with my friends in months, since they work during the week, and have the weekends off...but I work during the week, and all weekend.
I'm contemplating qutting my job, as I see no point in working there anymore: I only make just enough money for gas to get me to work, I have been working there since June and I still havn't been able to buy ONE thing for myself besides gas! Whats the point of working if all you can afford is gas to get to work?!? I work my butt off, and I still make nothing. I miss my friends. It's starting to depress me! Just needed to let that out!
a complainer!!! Apparantely college has done nonething for you except make you a grumbler.
Now about your employment problem. I think I know why. You are I have a feeling highly educated. Get down off your high horse and be willing to learn. You must think that you are entitled to a 9 to 5 Monday thru Friday with the weekends off, and everybody else must work around you. Well nowadays businesses operate almost around the clock and that means You are going to have to fill in when and where needed.
Why you can't get an interview - I sense that you have AN attitude - and no employer wants AN attitude - trust me, I have been in the work force for over 30 years, and I would not want to deal with a co-worker like that.
