We need to know what career path you want into. Mostly, get some schooling, look for job fairs and try a temp agency for that career. Good Luck

It doesn't seem like you are qualified for any particular position.  You have been bouncing between completely different fields.  There are a lot of gaps on your resume (where were you from 1998 to 2000-no job listed for that time), you don't have any real education (undergraduate degree), the sentences are completely grammar inaccurate.  From what time to what time were you in school, did you graduate? with what degree? If you are applying for a waitress or the kitchen to was dishes or something-they don't need resumes there.  Otherwise I would advise you to change your resume.

What you have been studying in college? If you don’t know what kind of job you are should look for after graduating from college, you are really in trouble.\n\nYou should contact career center at your college and start over again.

As with anyone post your resume.  I am 54 and considering entering the job market again.  I personally don't think it's feasable right now.  Monster.com is an excellent place to check hot jobs.  Good luck and may God Bless.

Explore different things, and ask as many successful old people who you respect for their opinions (just like you are doing here!).  Your interests will change as you evolve.  The more varied experiences you can have, and the more advice you get from different people, the better your choices will be.  Think of what you'd really like to do most, and take small steps in that direction, learning what it takes to get there.  Be glad if you learn you want to do something different, that's part of the process of learning.  Many people change professions and careers -- especially the most sucessful of people.  Good luck!!

If you already started one job, and quit suddenly, what would those people think that hired you and you quit?  They wouldn't hire you at all in 4-10 years right?  So you need to find out which job is more important to have right now, because you are living in the now, not 4 years. If the other job is better, and is more promising for your future, you have already started, so it's too late to quit that one. You already made your mistake so you've got to live with it, unless you really think that other job is so important that you should not leave it.  All I'm saying is that you need to put your all into one job, not be divided between two jobs. If you don't quickly decide and follow through you might end up with no job. Why did you take another job unless it's better paying or better for you?

I started with a temp agency. The job market is calling for people with experience. As soon I worked for a temp for a few months I had a few job offers on my plate.

Opportunity is not something that is always ready when you are.\nSome people seem to think that just as soon as they enter the job market, that they should instantly find a high paying job, instantly having a management position, and instantly have everything in life that they want. \n\nI'm not sure how this notion has come about, but it does not work that way. \n\nTo get to where you want to be, requires time and hard work. Rather than worrying about what being a success at finding the job you want, \n\n1) Work at being a success at a job you can get. \n2) Network with people in the field in which you want to base your career.\n3) Always keep your eye open for opportunities within your career choice.\n4) Use current employment opportunities to establish yourself as a hard worker with social aptitude toward co-workers.

Start looking for a sponsor and start entering the national tournaments. If you have any free time, I need a fishing guide East of Atlanta ..... LOL

I know what you mean, it is frustrating. Make sure that you have used all the on lone sites and get into them everyday. I will list them below for you. They helped me. Make sure you have word of mouth going. Tell your friend to tell his or her friend etc.\nIf you lack the experience, use your other assets.\nMake sure that you are listed with your local talent bank. Depending on your field, you may need to consider moving to another city and or state.\nGood Luck and don't give up.

Try contacting a "Head Hunter" or temporary placement service.  Temporary can very well become full time.  Or if nothing else, it will give you an income until you find something else/better.\n\nGood Luck!

It is not a bad move, but you do need to have more than just a love for animals and the water.\n\nLook at different schools and their marine biology programs.  Whlie pursuing my degree, I had to take Organic Chemistry, Geology, Oceanography, upper level math and specific zoological courses.  These classes may not be universal requirements for a B.S. in Marine Biology, but nowadays, you need to push for your Masters at least to get a decent paying job.\n\nAnother aspect in pursuing this option is what would you like to study if you make it.  Have a plan in your mind about where you want to take this and look further into a particular area of this vast science.\n\nIt is not dumb.  It is a competitive arena that does not back down though.  Currently, I am applying for jobs in Alaska regarding fisheries.  I plan on using this knowledge to build my experience base and add to my resume.\n\nI wish you the best of luck in your pursuit.  You will do well if you try.

Contact the school you graduated from.  Almost every school has a Career Center/Career Resource Center, and they offer services to graduates, too.  You should be able to work with them to update your resume, look through job postings and get some pointers on the current job market.  \n\nGood luck, hope it helps!

Become motivate and willing to learn new tasks.  Ask your immediate supervisor for extra work.  Also, if you are only at a diploma level, start taking college computer or business courses in the evening.  Your employer may even reimburse you for them.  There is always growth in a company, there is just a need for the person to be qualified for that growth.  I've known people who started out as shipping clerks for my company and are now dept heads.  Keep your head up, i was in a similar situation and now I'm in networking.  I was just always willing to learn and I think that's what help me.  Good luck.

Perhaps you have not done them well.  That would be my guess.  Usually if you work somewhere the vendors and customers will offer you jobs if you are really good.  Experience alone doesn't cut it.  Outstanding performance that will be noticed is what does it.  I think you should start your own business to prove that you can succeed.  Just start your own place.
