I can't get a job for 6 months. Is that because I am not a native speaker and I don't have any connections?

You dont have to have connections. Go to either a Temp agency or your local Dept. of Labor and they will for sure find you a job.

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.

Have you looked into filing for unemployment?  There are many misconceptions about when people are or are not eligible.  Even if you think you aren't, you might be eligible.\n\nYou could try a temporary agency.  There are many out there, and they require varying levels of experience and skills.\n\nYou could also try finding a casual labor job.  Construction contractors and farmers (as well as many other types of businesses) frequently hire casual labor on a temporary basis.  Because there is very little paperwork and few obligations for the employer, these positions are easy to get if you can find them.\n\nAlso, if you have things that are worth money that you don't absolutley HAVE to have, you could try selling them or getting a collateral loan from a pawn broker to tide you over until you find work.

You can start by learning to spell. No one wants to hire a person who cannot spell. Keep the resumes coming. It will get a hit sooner or later..........

More than likely that will be a waste of your effort. In order to get work, you need to practice interviews and apply for jobs and seeks placement agencies.

As long as you do not try to improve your communication skills, especially in English, you will NOT rise or shine in any job, or career !\nAnd as long as you keep asking others like us, who know nothing about you or your background, about what your future will be like, you will NOT be a success.\nIt is only when you STOP asking others, and START asking YOURSELF as to what all you can become with your existing qualifications plus limitations, that you will begin to be 'somebody'...   \nI get the feeling, that you will perhaps be a successful shopkeeper, in some rustic suburb - where you will only need to talk in your mother tongue with your customers !

You don't have full knowledge of anything. Practice humility, it will get you a job quicker.

Depends on the job. A lot of stores are hiring for Christmas help then they end up letting you go. I would wait til January. Probably have better luck.

If your Norwegian is good you might be able to find something... I tried to look this up for you at www.aetat.no which is one of the main sites for people looking for jobs, I think I remember it having some links to sites that had information for foreigners looking for jobs in Norway, but the site is down temporarily. Perhaps try that in a little while.\n\nIf you're going to be in a job that involves communication with people your Norwegian does need to be GOOD. Most Norwegians are fine with English but expect to be able to use Norwegian to address café personnel etc. Have to warn you though - some people who have moved here from abroad for whatever reason do tend to have trouble, unless their Norwegian is at fluency level.\n\nIf you have any specific qualification from a university you might be able to apply for jobs in international companies, we have quite a few of those in some places in Norway. It all depends what you want to do really. Research it well, you'll probably be able to find something IF you can talk Norwegian fine; if not then you will have difficulty simply because a fluency-level knowledge of Norwegian is expected. Sounds like that won't be a problem for you though if you know lots of Norwegian!

Obviously not, as i am one! and cant find  a good job. In the UK there are not many opportunities, but u just gotta keep searching. Be persistent and never give up and someone will give you a chance, its a hard one. Some times i think was it worth while me getting a degree. Then after 6 months i got a temp job within IT so that was my start hopefully this will bring good things. Take every chance you get also try to undertake work experience while your studying will make a difference

All depends on where you live I think. If you live in a big city there are going to be more opportunities than in a country town. Six weeks isn't that long and you say he has had some interviews and offers. Does he tell you why he rejects an offer or why an interview didn't work out. Maybe the right position hasn't become available yet or maybe too far to go to get there. If he can't help out financially at home then he should be doing the cooking, cleaning etc. Encourage him at all times to find a job, even a part time one, because I think the longer you're out of work the easier it is to stay that way!!!

I'm in a similar predicament. The deadlines for job applications in a lot of business/finance sectors (investment, consulting, floor trading, etc.) are passing by quickly, or have already gone by. \n\nI'd suggest looking into internships (I know, we're about to graduate) to gain more experience and keep you busy until next year's recruitment starts. \n\nThere are a variety of management training programs that are yet to close out, and of course assistant positions that are always available. While they may not be ideal opportunities, they at least gain you more experience and your foot in the door. The non-profit sector is a possibility, as well as entry level positions at law firms (paralegal work mainly, involving research) \n\nI'd also highly suggest networking. Look into where alumni from your school have gone, are are currently employed, and ask for help. It's degrading, to an extent, but appropriate when done tastefully.

Well.. U need to keep preparing for the job interview process for the next company while doing the job here..  U can always find some time for the same..  \n\nU cant risk going to the next company interview  as jobless.. In case u r unable to make it, then u r nowhere :-(  \n\nOnce u land up a gud job, then even if there is anotice period or something in ur current company and u've to pay som salary inl lieu of that.., in most cases ur next company will compensate for the same..

Some things to keep in mind.  The national average for person between jobs is eight months.  I tell you that b/c you have to be patient with the process.  Make finding a job your full time job.  And if it has been longer than that, you will want to look at what you are doing.  Are you using all your tools to find work:  internet, places you've worked before, networking - friends, family, the newspaper, phone book?  Do you have a resume or work history put together to help you fill out applications accurately?  If you have a resume, have you been keeping track of how many resumes to interviews you've had?  For example, if you have sent out twenty resumes and only got one interview, then something is not right with your resume.  Have someone review it.  In the mean time, work on your attitude.  If you have a defeatist attitude, it's not going to help you when you do get those interviews.  No matter how insurmountable the process seems, you have to remain optimistic.

try to get an internship (unpaid work experience) sometimes it turns into a job...if not, at least you have some experience already. Congratulations!
