All of the on-line and hard-print job services consistently show openings so they've got to be hiring somebody.

I dont mean to imply the job market is great, I know it's terrible...but somebody's got to be getting hired....
non-visible tatoos and the 30 yr. old pierced ear has'nt been in use since disco went out,but who's counting.Still they do'nt call for an interview,and I heard they have to accept applications every so often ,(large retail businesses) so they say they are hiring,(window ad,or classified ad) hand out applications for a week or so,but do'nt hire anyone when the process is done So on a happier note,who can make it to the Lock & Key(Englewood Beach) for HAPPY HOUR Friday 12/11?

Yahoooo! The wife got a job today! Whew! I thought we were gonna have to stop eating for awhile or something like that ! LOL Just kidding but she was very concerned that it might take a very long time to find something,and it was starting to look that way too. Now if I can find something we can afford to go to one of these meet-ups and have a cold one (DARN I ca'nt find my emoticons)

Just now noticing?

I know some folks, with degrees in technical fields no less, that have been trying since it began in 4th quarter of 2007. Yup 2 years without good work in their field. Some with as much as 20-25 years experience.

People make snap judgements about folks with ink and piercings.

Not saying they're right/wrong to do so, just a statement of fact....
