Hello all. I'm a married 23 year old. I am currently unemployed and am having trouble getting a job. I have been looking for a decent job since about March 2006. I haven't had one offer yet. I am a college educated woman. I have a bachelor's degree in Journalism and Mass Communications with my major being advertising. So I took a lot of advertising and public relations classes. I had been working in a job as a customer service representative in a call center for Medicare since November 2005 but was laid off in May of this year. I really hated that job. The stress and aggravation from that job even affected me physically for a small period of time (anxiety attacks, missed periods, and hair loss). Now I have moved to a new state and still have had troubles getting a job. I know my husband isn't worried about it because he can cover our expenses (he's in the military). However I feel like I am not contributing and like I am a failure because despite the number of applications and resumes I send and interviews I get, I just can't seem to land a job. Even when I felt like I did well on the interview. I have read books. Prepared answers for likely questions. Researched the companies. Analyzed the job posting to see what exactly they are looking for. Relate all of their questions to the little bit of experience I do have. I wanted to work in training and development or marketing and PR, but I am having a hard time getting a chance to gain some experience, even though i have a marketing internship and 2 months worth of experience in training. Nothing helps. What can I do? How can I feel better?
