I can't believe there aren't any jobs in Mississippi whatsoever.  They may not be glamorous but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do until things get better.

Best way to get a job is through connections. Thats what it is all about.  Got any family? cause if you cant rely on others for connections, you have to make your own.  Now, you can't just go out there asking for help, you have to go out there and try to help others, ask the person who you want to be employed by "What can I do to  help you out?"  Then he/she will owe you.  Make friends out of people in the business.  Might take a while but you will not be out of a job for a long while.\nGood luck

I used to work at a place where there were very thourough backround checks. As the manager in charge of hiring, i found that there were many very good applicants that were automatically denied for that reason. I understand what you are saying. It must be very difficult for people who are trying to get their lives back on track to find opportunities, since this seems to be so common amoung many corperate and franchise businesses. What is ironic is that I often found that some of  those with no criminal backround, after being hired,  were much more of a risk to our company, where as perfectly good applicants with a smudge on their record, would have probably performed a lot better as employees. Now I'm not saying that I would have hired all ex- felons who had applied, due to the fact that some of them seemed to still have serious issues, but if it were my choice in the matter, character and ability would matter far more than a bad choice that was made before.   I feel that a person should not be denied an employment opportunity due to a past that they have already paid for. It is definetley a type of discrimination.

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!

well I don't know about all over the country but what I see here in the midwest is that the transportation industry is always in need of drivers for short and long haul trucking. several years ago a conversation with a company recruter for a very large  trucking company told me that at that time they were over 100,000  new drivers short of what they wanted to have on the road and this was one of thousands of companies .\n        the second industry that never has a surplus of people for jobs available is the health care industry. Just pick a field from nursing to specialized care centers.

Why can't he find a job in his own country?

Simple:  It takes time to find a job that one is qualified to do.  I for one couldn't work as a pastry chef, neither could a pastry chef necessarily troubleshoot a computer. It also takes time for an employer to find the best qualified candidate for a job.  Sometimes even the answer is "none of the above" when the interview process is over.  \n\nAdd to that fact that people get fired for making mistakes, or the boss doesn't like them, or the business needs to save some money.  Also add to the mix that people quit because they are unhappy, or they think they have a better job lined up (and it's really not there) or their mother gets sick and they need to take some time away to take care of them, or... \n\nEven if no one was lazy, we'd still have these things happening.  Things happen in life.  We aren't all mindless cogs in a machine, content with our little role in life.  In fact, no employeer would want a 0% unemployment rate.  That would mean that if Curtis wasn't shaping up as much as they thought he would, he'd be very difficult to replace since nobody out there would be ready to take his Job.

Nothing in life is ever really EASY.  Finding your perfect job is very difficult, but finding SOME job is very possible as long as you have a good attitude and can communicate well.  There are a lot of jobs in construction and agriculture and fast food and other areas that are usually available, as long as the person is dependable.  But it takes much time and work to move up to a great job.

Any big city...like New York city NY, San Diego Ca, Los Angeles Ca, Fort Worth Tx, Dallas Tx....etc. I would stay away from Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia and many parts of Tennessee, North & South Carolinia. Mississippi would be a great place to go, but it's a poor state in the sense of finding good jobs there.

You know, I have been wondering the same thing. You see i work for my inlaws in ga. although i work for my inlaws does not mean that it is easy. They to make me do manual labor at times, and i have great computer skills. Did you or do you paln to attend college? Maybe you could go through a temporary job service. Not all of the jobs they offer are temp. Some are temp to perm. And if you have the abilities that you say, it should be nooo problem good luck

Small companies are less likely to do a background check and you will have to settle for a lower level job because of bad credit. Certainly you will not be able to handle money and you will pay more for your car insurance. \nThe best way to find a job is to get out the yellow pages and find places you would like to work. Call them up and ask if you can fax over your resume and to who's attention or ask if they are hiring and can you come in for an interview. Make sure the resume is very specific about what you are looking for.  If it's vague the resume goes into the garbage. Only 10% of the job openings ever make it to the ad s. 70% of jobs are filled through someone you know-your mother's cousin or whoever.

It is not difficult for them to find work as there as too many employers who are willing to hire them.  A lot of people believe that the immigrants are taking jobs away from Americans but that really is not true.  They are doing the jobs Americans wont do for the low pay.  Government on the state. local and federal levels needs to start being more harsh on employers who hire illegal immigrants.  A hefty fine for every illegal working would be a good start and closing down their businesses wouldnt hurt either and it is not just small businesses that hire illegals, large companies also hire them.

Because most people don't know how to look for a job. You have to start with a resume that says what you really want to do not something vague. Example: To find a job as a sales trainee where I can use my strong interpersonal skills. Lots of people put down something like I want a position that will afford me personal growth. That goes into the wastebasket. \nAnother mistake people make is to just look at help wanted ads. Only 10% of all jobs are filled through ads. Get out the yellow pages and look up companies that have the job you want. Call up and ask if you can fax over the resume and to who's attention. Follow up in a week with a phone call.
