well, here I am almost 3 months after getting laid-off... still haven't found a local job that can work around my school schedule part-time.

It's like nobody is hiring, or can't work around my schedule... I really don't know what to do at this point. I've turned in a ton of applications online at websites like monster, jobing, snagajob, hotjobs, craigslist, etc...

I guess if they are interested, they don't call you right away, they call a few weeks later, or at least I hope that's what is happening... I don't think I have a bad resume or anything, and have even had the career development dept. at my school give it many once-overs...

it's just hard to find a decent job that is looking for someone with my skills in my area that'll be ok with me working Thurs.-Sun.

eating top ramen noodles for breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday is getting old fast

i'm even going after jobs that i'm over qualified for at this point... since getting denied unemployment, 3 months unemployed takes a toll on your cashflow

EDIT: for the most part this is what I'm in school learning to do right now... ---click the play button---> http://www.digitaldimension.com/reels_en.html

one of the biggest reasons it's so hard to find a job... besides not being able to work around my school schedule...

most companies prolly want to wait until your done with school (the ones with a real job offers)...why dont u apply for an on campus job in the meantime to help out with the cashflow...? why dont u make some web sites as a side job? there are a lot of 'old school/mom and pop companies' that need a web site but dont knwo **** about the computer world (craigslist has a ton)...? i dunno just throwing some suggestions out there...or u can start a **** company...?lol j/k

yea my school pays **** for jobs ($7/hour) and I live about an hour away from it... GAS PRICES>Income

I wish I knew how to build websites... i'd totally be doing that right now... that's the one dept. i'm not familiar with... my stuff is mostly visual effects and motion graphics...

thanks for the ideas though

trust me... i had it longer... MUCH longer... but we had a few major companies come into my school and give us the "run down" that most HR departments out there want your resume to be 1 page and 1 page only... they don't like reading more than that otherwise the likeliness of your resume being tossed aside and them moving onto the next one is higher....

basically their whole theory is... get your message about who you are across as quickly as possible...

that's not how it is in my field (IT). When we are hiring all resume's are on average 3 pages and that still doesnt give us a clear picture of what the guy REALLY knows. Mine is only two however. I think you should expand on the Robert Half job... good money in IT if you can grow into it more.

i agree with above your resume looks like an outline it needs to show more... list projects you worked on in a paragraph form.

mine is 2 pages but remember in the career field its who you know most of the time and not what you know.

no just make it one page. its not bad, its just that your resume looks like you follwed a template. ditch the objective part altogether, put your experience at the top, then education. also put more more contact info up top, address and phone, and ditch the thing on the side
