I have been looking for full time work for a very long time now, and wondering why its so tuff to secure a full time position. Like I even go to bakery's, dealerships, wherever I see a sign on the street saying the need help and still no luck. Its brutal!

I've had head hunters trying to grab me out of my full time job for a while. so i would assume there is work out there.

3) Have you tried placement agencies?

4) Are you female?


I echo Phenix and Adam C that IT is pretty hot right now if you have a few years behind you with some certs.

I have 3 open offers currently. My current employer is also looking for staff. That being said we are only looking for qualified people with a good reputation in the industry.

Not sure if your resume sucks or if you lack adequate training but it sure seems like you are going to have to make a change.

Very short tips for resume (if this is actually how it appears).

I would put the newest/most applicable items at the top. Who cares what you did in 2002, unless you're applying at Co-op again (in which case, good choice for placement).

For all items: Expand on the duties. For example, Parts Dept at Contemporary. What did you do in the parts department? Work in the back, serve customers, order stock? Outline the skills that "Parts Department" utilized.

Yup that would be it.

The market is hot right now. I quit my job on the 7th of this month and already got an opportunity going.
