I graduate in may 09. I had few jobs including censure and a recent contract job. I've been searching work after my contract ended last month ago but no luck. "Every" single day my parents tell me to go to "work". They tell me to get any single job. The problem is that I want to get started with my career and I don't want just any job but I have no idea what to do now.
I'm 25 and seems like I'm lost and my parents keep on bitching me every single day about "me having no work". What can I do ? I think I'm going to go crazy soon. Please somebody hire me. I can't even sleep in the morning. They lecture every single minute when I'm home.
I do look for work on career builder, craigslist and other places. It's not like I sit home and do no ****. They tell me to go back to school and get another freaking degree when I graduated from college last year. WTH..!!
I'M PISSED.
Since you are an adult and living at home, you have to get any job to contribute to the household. What makes you think you can just lay and wait for your dream job??-lol

If it helps, I'm 22, 1 year from graduating college (Business Management) and it took me nearly 6 months since moving to Kentucky to find a "single job." Never mind I'm overqualified for it and it's part-time with no benefits.
While you're living with parents, offer to prepare meals, landscape, clean, etc. to work off some of that feeling of obligation/frustration...
Take advantage of your/their network too ...
Find some type of volunteer thing related to your preferred field of work?
May not pay, but it's work -- perhaps your parents could then be part of your support system.
Hate to say it, but the job boards (Careerbuilder etc.) can make you sad. Maybe it's my imagination, but it seems employers want perfection and then some. Also, many jobseekers are looking at the same stuff out there...
