I have applied with every company in Houston and the surrounding areas. I cannot get a job to save my live. I have a Bachelor's degree and I am working on my Master's. I have strong work history and great references. I only apply for what I am qualified for but can't catch a break!!!!

Double check your spelling. "...save my live." That should be life. If you state you have a BA, but make simple spelling errors, you won't find work. Not trying to be ugly, just trying to help.

Omg really. I do have a BS degree and I minored in English. People make mistakes and there is something called auto correct. It corrected minor 3 times to minute. Stop judging and belittling people unless you have job information!

Jobless in Houston---I have two BS Degree's: one Education and another Criminal Justice. Sometimes you have to go outside your comfort area. I had to and required many other skills with temporary services.

I have had a very stable work history recently let go from my job.I am very excited
about learning something new,I have lots of energy to burn and so much to give.
Never really had the opportunity to learn something else besides what I have been doing.So I think it has been the best that has ever happened to me.Sometimes we need
to focus on what really makes us happy.

I know I'm late to this message board but I think Ruthann is correct. As an Executive that scans resumes regularly, I won't hire anyone with spelling and grammar errors. Spell check and proof reading are essential tools, in order to prove you will minimize your mistakes in a professional environment.

Finding a job is hard work, ask yourself several questions. Would you hire yourself based on your resume? How are you marketing yourself? Does your resume show your 'wins' on the first page? Or do I need to get to the 2nd page to see who YOU are? How are you dressing to interviews? How are you answering the questions during the interview?

There's a science to this process and the more you know, the better off you will be. Educate yourself on what employers look for and how to market yourself. Jobs are out there to those who want them, let nothing hold you back from becoming who you want to be!
