9/11 happened four and a half years ago. What was your excuse before that? If you're unemployed for 7 years, I don't believe there're valid reasons for why you can't find a job. Unless you have a disability that prevents you from working, stop being a lazy a.. and get a job.

Fill out applications for places that are hiring, make a resume, and call the places you have already applied to. The worst thing they can say is they aren't hiring anymore. It also helps to fill the application out on the spot and ask to speak to a manager if one is available. Never apply at food places around noon or during any places busy periods.\n\nIf you don't have much experience or you have lots of gaps it helps to emphasize your personal skill in a resume before you give your selected job history. That's what they taught us to do in a class for homeless people seeking employment. It is really effective. Also never underestimate the cover letter. As silly as they are they work well.

Maybe your not looking hard enough. Keep looking and keep applying at places. Sombody will hire you. Did you do something extremly wrong (like stealing) at your last job? That will make it hard to find another job because people wouldn't trust you. Good luck!

You have hope!  You'll need to start in an entry-level position, but keep an open mind and you'll find work.\n\nThe first step is not refusing work because you feel it's beneath you.  I was miserable most of my 20s because I felt I was under-employed.  But I acquired skills that lead me to better and better jobs.  You've got to start somewhere.\n\nTips for finding a job:\n1. Get up, get showered, get dressed every morning, just as if you were going to work.  No sleeping in, no spending days watching tv or playing on the internet.  Your job is finding a job.  Take it seriously.\n\n2. Leave the house and go to the library.  Then start your search - use library computers and newspapers to find job listings.  Make a list of jobs to apply for that day.  Apply for jobs on-line.\n\n3.  Return home and make calls/write letters/fill out applications.\n\n4. Spend at least 1/2 hour each day working on improving your resume and practicing interview skills.  Find books at library if you're not sure how to do this.\n\nGood luck!

I'd go to the unemployment office and get that started,  then use their computers to get a different job.  Since I have a college degree and some experience in a field that is in demand, someone would hire me.  Additionally in the meantime I would take classes to develope my skills to get a better resume to be more employable.

Remember when you are "unemployed" your most important job is to work for YOURSELF.  In other words, spend the same amount each day looking for work as you did working for someone else.\n\nWith so many out of work, it won't be easy.  Use every resource available to you, and find help in the search box of your computer, not only job listings, but job hunting tips.\n\nDon't forget to visit your local colleges and use their job search office (postings are often put up on a board).\n\nI wish you speedy good luck!!

you sound depressed which is a natural reaction to unemployment. Best to see your doctor and visit the job centre who may be helpful in finding you work related courses. Keep the faith, there is always a future

I am dealing with the same issue, I called the Unemployment office and they said as soon as I am officially laid off I can apply. It takes about 10 days before you receive any benefits.

Yes I have but after the initial despair, you need to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and work towards making the repairs to your career and or reputation.  Without knowing any specifics, if you made a mistake that resulted in your losing your job, it does seem like the world is ending.  If it isn't a mistake that resulted in an arrest, you can resume your career although it will take time and effort.  If you didn't lose your job but your reputation has suffered, I would admit you made a mistake, ask for forgiveness and work hard to repair it through always ethical dealings with your coworkers and colleagues.  Just don't despair and do the necessary work to fix your career.
