We Can Do It If We Try!! :D

Today, what with the credit crunch and everything, it is so hard to find a job. I started looking for work 3 years ago when i was 16 and still i have had no luck what so ever. I work so hard to try to find a job aswell, i ask around shops, hand my CV in or send it off, fill in application forms and check online most days, but still i don't get reply or anything. I haven't even had that many interviews either, it's just so difficult to find work. I think alot of employers are too fussy aswell, like i think that because i'm young some employers wouldn't employ me because alot of youngsters mess around and don't take their job seriously but that doesn't mean that all youngsters would do that, it's just judgmental which is horrible for me because that lessens my chances of getting a job even more. And whereas i have difficulty finding one job some people i know have two or three or some can come out of one job and walk straight into another and i'm just like 'How do you do it?!' I want a job just doing anything really, i don't have a pacific career i want to do, i just want to find a nice job that i will enjoy and pays good money, so then i could save for a house and go on holidays with my boyfriend. Surely it's not too much to ask. Another problem with finding jobs today is lack of experience and training. Alot of places do give training but then the ones that people really want which will give a decent wage, you need to have had training or experience, but how can you gain experience if you never had a job before but you can't get a job without experience! It cooks my head it really does! But then even the people who come out of Uni with degrees can't find jobs, i mean how messed up is that. You work for years to get a degree in what you want to do and then you can't find a job, how utterly disappointing. I think that's why alot of people travel abroad to look for work because it's much easier in places like Spain and that to find a job, which is quite bad i think that people have to leave their own country and families to find work, it's not good at all, but what can we do? Also, i never went to college, i stayed on in sixth form in school for 2 years studying Child Care, at the time that's the career i thought i wanted but after 4 years of studying (2 for GCSE and 2 for Child Care CACHE) i found that working with children wasn't for me and i just wanted to find a job, maybe in an office or in retail, i wasn't quite sure, but as i found when i moved in with my boyfriend it's alot harder than i thought. We live in a council flat in a horrible little village and we have a joint claim on Jobseekers Allowance and it's just horrible. We hardly ever get to go out because we can't afford it also none of us drive so we have to pay for buses if we do go out which is expensive, but sometimes we do walk into town. Our friends are always going on holidays and we so want to go but we have no choice, we just can't go anywhere not even to a hotel for the night. But even though sometimes we get a bit stressed we just think we are going to find good jobs, save lots of money and get our own house because it's the way you have to think these days, you have to be positive. And unlike most youngsters we actually want to find jobs and do something with our lives, and i believe we have the right attitude to get us where we want to be some day, we just have to be patient and wait. And that goes to everyone who is struggling to find work. Don't ever give up! Keep your head held high, work hard to look for work and always stay positive, even when times are tough just remember alot of people are in the same boat as you and one we will all have some kind of luck and find jobs. So let's just all try and stay positive and good luck to everyone out there that is unemployed! Cheers to you all! :)
