Gradually degenerating into ignorance and complacency.

Stocked up and sold out

I appear to be stocked up on failures and have failed to order or sold out of successes. I would guess that on average, I post my resume' and submit applications at a rate of over 20 per day (really higher). If I were to calculate that my standards have significantly lowered and that I would calculate this at only for the last two months, I have sent nearly 1000 postings. Out of that, I have received just about nothing. I have sent far more than 2000. If I were suicidal, I would already be dead.

This is not sad, but sickening. I can't get a job at McDonald's, I've tried -- no call back. I have either no experience in an area, a desk job for too long or I have bad breath. What gives. No one I know has submitted so many friggin' applications and resume's with so little response. All I want is a chance -- if I fail at the interview, then so be it, but after all of that ... I should have something.

I applied to Blockbuster where I used to work ... nothing. I applied to Wal-Mart, but they would not accomodate me on a schedule change for my preliminary interview, so no call-back. I have tried industry and manufacturing. I have tried retail, even gas stations. I have tried management, hourly, grunt work. I am more than discouraged. I suppose that I could be even more depressed as it is the season for it, but I think that it's the only thing keeping me going.

I don't drive if I can avoid it and have a nice, growing larger stack of unpaid bills. I have completely exhausted all of my own money (borrowing from my 403b). I can't get a job and for no particular reason.

I have applied from Maine and Alaska to California to Florida. I have not put many limitations of things. I don't have money and would be willing to live out of a motel 6 for a month if I got a job.

If anyone knows of any jobs that aren't posted on careerbuilder, monster, regionalhelpwanted, thingamajobs, indanajobbanks, usjobbanks, allretailjobs, getthejob, coke co, mcGraw-Hill, theLadders, Yahoojobs, CBSindustries, Accounttemps, Nettemp, railroad, Officeteam, Kitty Hawk, or Manpower please let me know. I have tried all of these. I log in to all of these daily. I have sent faxes, email, US post letters.

My only other option is military which won't take me because of an immaterial medical issue, but maybe like me, they have lowered their standards.

I have a BS Ed, which must be Blast Self Expeditedly.
