Try Try and try again..Be confident and believe that there is a job out there for you. If needed change your approach..update your skills...
-
Keep trying, and if need be low your standards on the job you want for a short while and take maybe a less appealing job for now until one you want opens up.
-
keep yruing when you go into an interview always be happy and be ready to work show them you really want the job and is ready to work

it can be very discouraging.....make sure that you have something unique to offer @ an interview and make it relevent to the position for which you are applying, have @ least 3 strong qualities ready to talk about and back your answers up with specific examples and how those qualities will benefit them if they hire you~do your homework and have a list of questions ready for the person interviewing you! let them know that you are looking for a "good fit"; i think it's easy to feel pressured to just "get a job" and that sometimes shows during an interview... you need to "sell" yourself by letting them know you understand what they want~and what you want; keep your chin up and remember...if they miss out on hiring you then it's THEIR loss and some employer will be very lucky to have you~that attitude will hopefully keep your spirits up~hang in there and GOOD LUCK :)

Look for ways to become more qualified for the position you seek. And brainstorm what jobs there are for which you are already qualified. A degree in law doesn't necessary force you to be a lawyer. A person with a law degree could go into all kinds of different fields. Think creatively about what is out there.

hang in there and keep a good attitude. Jobs aren't as easy to come by now but people do get hired everyday. Good luck !!

Did you ever think about becoming self employed? Just a thought. I know after many years working for other company's. I came down to the point of starting my own. And all I can say now is that I wish I would have done it twenty years sooner..................M.C.S.

Some tech schools offer job placement when you finish the courses. Some also offer financial aid. Is there something you'd like to learn that a tech school can teach you? I went to drafting school when I lost my job. Now I'm in "the exciting, challenging and high paying field of drafting and design"....oh boy

If at first you don't succeed...try and try again....and Good Luck :D
