I am just starting to grasp the concept of recognizing lies or truth and I have barely scratched the surface there. I know there are allot of things in my lifestyle that I need to change but these things will take a little time and I am feeling a little overloaded today. Please don't think that I am giving up because that certainly is not the case in fact I have made some lifestyle changes for the better already. My motivation comes and goes with my mood and today I feel a little tired and depressed but as a very dear friend used to tell me "this too shall pass". The truth is I need to find work and not being able to support myself properly weighs on me very heavily, I am ready willing and able to work but no one will hire me but now i'm just complaining. Every time I send out another resume it feels like I am just throwing it in the trash because I never get called in for an interview and this has been going on for a couple years now. I am just frustrated and sometimes my patience runs a little thin as it is now. I know that in God's time I will find the job that is right for me and it is so hard to get past that instant gratification mentality. So I guess the lifestyle change I will make today is to practice patience. Thank you again for all the positive feedback it helps so much. David

I was always told that "the squeeky wheel gets the grease"; have you tried call a few days after sending the resume? Chances are a lot of people applied for the job and they sometimes dont even get to all of the applications or resumes before hiring someone. Call every few days after sending the application and ask for the person in charge of hiring. Just tell them you sent in your resume and you are wondering if the position was yet filled. That puts your name in thier head and usually they will look at yours if the position hasnt been filled. If you havent heard anything in a few more days call again. If you sound eager for the job they are more likely to hire you because every company wants to hire someone who wants to come to work. I dont know if this has helped but I took some classes on job application and thought id give some advice. Things will work out. How do I know? God promised to never leave nor forsake us so think of it as an adventure to see what God has for you next! GBY
