Okay. So I know this is a stupid thing to post about. But my head hurts and all I can think about is that I can't find a job. I was distracted with my grandma dying and school when stores were hiring seasonally. NOW when I ask about jobs they say the are not hiring and will be letting seasonal people go in January.
I don't know where I belong. I have a B.A. and a long history of working and being good at it. I just don't know where I belong! I don't know what to do. I'm in part-time online grad school so that does not get in the way of hours. I need full-time work. But I don't even know what to apply for. Really no where wants me. I've had interviews and they always say I'm at the top but there is someone better. I need gas for my car and pet food and stupid shit!
I'm sitting here homework done with head pain. Knowing I need a job this week because my unemployment is stopping. My car is breaking so I need a long-term job so I can start to pay off a new car. My stupid bed is broken. I'm pretty much feeling sorry for myself... and it's stupid. I have so many good things going for me... I feel like a job would solve a lot of my problems. I don't need much money, but not having any is trapping me.
Okay. I know. Stupid thing to bitch about. This is just hard. It's finals week. Almost everything is done... but the stress is still here.

Nothing to stupid to bitch about. It's happened to all of us. I've learned that your next job doesn't have to be about what you studied for in school, as long as it helps you to support your life outside of work. You can try applying for any job out there as long as it's within your tolerance level and qualifications. Sometimes companies will even train you on a job that doesn't require experience. Don't give up!

If I were you, I'd try a temp agency. Depending on the type of work you'd be willing to do, they may have you take some aptitude tests (if you were going to be doing office work, they'd have you take a skills assessment on MS Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, for example). The nice thing about temp work is there is no obligation for you to stay if you don't like the environment, the manager, or the coworkers (or if they misrepresented the type of work you'd be doing). But, it can get your foot in the door for a long-term job and will add to your resume and work history.
