If you are drawing unemployment,now would be a good time for tech school. Go for a computer class in information technology. Some schools hve grant programs which can pay you as you go!

To seek a job in any country u have to be there.\n\nSo go to Singapore or Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur) \n\nBTW you are too old for any job there

That is a difficult situation to be in, but not impossible.  The first thing to do is get a resume together that highlights your education and skills.  Next, I would get registered with employment services in the area - you will have to fill out some paperwork and do NOT lie about your mistake.  They will tell you right away if they can help you or not.  Then, put your resume online at Hotjobs or Monster or something like that to see if that helps.  You should probably also go to the local Uemployment Office and ask if there are any programs to help people find work; lots of times there are and they will work with you to get employed.  Finally, remember that many times, it is not what you know, but who you know.  Be friendly and do not burn any bridges.  Someone out there who knows you will be more likely to give you a chance.  Finally, be prepared to be humbled.  You are going to have to eat crow for a little while until this becomes a more distant mistake for you.  There is, unfortunately, something that is going to always be a part of your life.  \n\nThe only reason I feel I can give any advice at all on this one is because I was married to someone who had the same issue, and he ended up getting a job as a purchasing agent for a manufacturing firm.  However, it took a long long time and he had to be peristent, patient, and professional about it.  \n\nGood Luck to you!

I had the same issues for the past 6 years...fortunately I dont have to work but the job market is not very good right now...I would try rewriting my resume and use connections to help with the search.  I dont think its you I think its the market...If those things work then great and if not no worries keep looking...trust me the job market ispoor right now.

It sounds as if you are a good person to have as an employee.\nOff hand I would recommend the Goodwill Employment Services. They would know the laws, what is reasonable and probably where you could find a job that would be happy to accept you with whatever limitations you may have in exchange for a devoted and responsible worker.\nGood luck...and don't give up that tenacity. It will carry you all the way, but I think you know that already!

You might want to call your local American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and ask them if there are any non-profit groups by you that help people get jobs. Or you go back to school (trade school, college or special training) to make yourself more employable. Good luck.

Look for something you own that you can sell.  After you are beyond your crunch, find a job where you can practice the skills you are studying.  This will ensure you a good paying job after you complete your studies.

Hi Lori,\nNow that the job market is finally looking up, it's the perfect time to seek out new opportunities. This spring you need to shake off that "lucky I even have a job" mentality, polish up your resume, and explore your career options! There are fun, flexible, fantastic jobs out there just waiting for someone like you!\nNow, get out there and pound the pavement. Beat on some doors until you latch onto that incredible dream job you always wanted! \n(I heard the Programming & Design area is a great place to promote tourism?)\n-Zealnik

whut? \n\nhow old are you and what do you like to do.  It'd be good to find a career doing something you enjoy doing.  Figure out your priorities-- making more money or having more time, for example.

It is my view:\n\n1) if you have enough money or sourcing capacity up to say one Croce you can enter into the apparel industry. But at the same time you have to evaluate y/s about your capacity or experience in apparels (knit or woven),support for management,labour support & etc. But we can make money in apparel export. \n\n2) even silk products have good market in the world.. countries like France are very fond of importing silk and silk products., even scarves they are very interested.\n\n  so you can develope silk products and export., it has a good market.\n\n   apart from the collateral security, your machineries,raw materials & etc are pledged and get more finance from Banks for export\n\n    wish you all the best

If you want to have the best opportunities for getting a good job, you really better stay with the company until you get another job offer...I KNOW THIS AS I HIRE PEOPLE for a large company...if you really have been with an outfit for seven years, you have a leg up on sooooo many people. You would be throwing that away if you were to quit and then start looking. That ends up showing that, even though you were serious about your career and in what you have to offer as an employee (that you will do what you need to do when the job calls for it), you have become a "flake". It would even get worse when you find a job that you end up settling for, because you need the money, leave because you are not happy there....and become a job hopper...STAY with the job you have, look around for something that you would get enjoyment out of doing, and then get your foot in the door before leaving...REMEMBER two things. The grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence...and that if the company that you are interested in, doesn't respect the fact that you are working for someone right now...they really don't care to much about their employees and you wouldn't end up much happier there either. Right now, the ball is in your court, as most all respectable companies would love to have someone that is as loyal as you have been. And...furthermore...you don't even have to be a great interview in order to get the job.

Might want to start with what you don't like about the job?  Is it the people, profession, industry, job function, etc.?  And tackle problem from there.  \n\nThen find out what are other options.  Transfer to other dept? Other location?  \n\nIf nothing works, and you definitely want to get out of it, a good place to start would be figuring out what you LIKE to do that will also bring you income.  (Some community colleges offer classes in that perspective.)  Also talk to your friends to find out what your strengths are.  Hit the newspaper and see if anything interest you.  Start from there and see how it goes.  \n\nGood luck with job search.

When I got "downsized" three years ago, I thought the end was near. I puttered around for awhile looking with nothing to show for my time. \n\nOut of options (well almost) I took a "job" that paid only a fraction of what I was making. That's when I started looking to start my own business. It was a wise decision! I now own my own cleaning service, work only part time at it and make more than the day job. It was much easier than I thought.\n\nYou can learn more at my link below. I am also working on an online business which I will list for you as well to get some ideas. \n\nDon't let your current situation get you down, look up and you will find your answers.

I hate to say this, but it's still WHO you know more than WHAT you know. I was in a similar situation 8 months ago. After much searching and self-pity, I swallowed my pride and started to put the word out among friends and former business associates that I was out of work and looking. \n\nThe hardest part was admitting to former associates (customers, competitors, etc) that I was without a job. Once I overcame that, I was able to start talking freely with people. I got a job 2 months later with a former competitor and it's been the best career move of my life.\n\nI know it's hard for working guys to be without a job. Jobs give us our identity. Guys who meet for the first time always ask, "So what do you do?" This is why we go nuts when we can't find a job.\n\nMy suggestion is you start putting the word out among your friends, family, clubs, church, and with anyone else who knows you personally and who would be willing to give you a try, or at least vouch for you. Network, network, network. Don't be false or pretentious, but honestly tell people what your situation is. \n\nI don't remember the exact number, but I recently read somewhere that something like 80 or 90% of all jobs are still handed out through the "good ol' boy" network. That's not a bad thing. It only means that you're more likely to get hired if the person doing the hiring knows you or hears good things about you from what he/she considers a reliable source.\n\nHope that helps! Best wishes!
