Just curious, because I wanna know if I am doing enough, to much, or just the right amount. Answer these questions for me....
1) How long have you been out of work?
2) What type of work are you looking for?
3) how many days a week do you search?
4) How many hours a day do you search?
HERE ARE MY ANSWERS
1) 2 Months. Only been here a month but started looking before I moved here, which was impossible by the way.
2)ANYTHING AT THIS POINT.
3)EVERYDAY
4) I am on the computer for about 8-10 hours every single day.

Have you registered with the State of GA Labor Dept.?

It is located in the Toco Hill Shopping Center which should be very close to where you live. You can utilize the job listings in their databases and they offer some assistance with other job search functions.

I know your struggle... I got laid off in October and was looking for ajob 24/7. Looking for a job IS a job. Register at the unemployment office, go to staffing agencies, contact recruiters, etc.

I'm not currently out of work, but when I was out of work, here are my answers:

1) How long have you been out of work? 4 months
2) What type of work are you looking for? marketing
3) how many days a week do you search? 5 days
4) How many hours a day do you search? 3-4 hours.
I would job search and attend job seekers and networking meetings.
The rest of the time, I would volunteer at my favorite charity.

I went this morning and it was a blessing. I thank you very much. It was a small group but everyone made me feel very very confortable. I got some numbers and made some contacts and plan to go to more meetings. Something good is about to happen because the Devil didnt want me to go this morning. I got up late, I felt sick, I was hungry, I got lost. But I made it, and I know he was trying to stop something. But God had other plans!
