Ok, I'm stuck.

It's past my deadline, I STILL don't have work (I know I won't be getting any calls until Wednesday), and my unemployment switchover was on Thursday, so I don't know what, if anything, I will be getting as a result of a very short season this year.  I'm equally frustrated both by the job hunt, for which no one is calling for an interview, and closeness of my transportation goal - it's in sight, yet I'm stuck in the mud because of all of this financial BS.

If you have a job, and know of positions that may be opening soon or already are open, and are in the Northern Illinois area (It's expanded due to how short of time it will take me to get my license back and a vehicle to drive); or if you are unemployed but have heard any rumors of places, please let me know.

Right now only McDonalds (which I have worked at 3 times) and West Telemarketing (for which I was terminated and was blacklisted from the company, thus never being able to be rehired at) are the only two places for which I know I won't be applying at, both due to reasons that may/will prevent me from being hired at.  Beyond that, I should be open for almost anything.

After Wednesday, it'll be ok to call - otherwise, send me a message.  Need this help ASAP.  Thanks.

Have you tried any temp agencies? And you may also want to war-dial the places that you've applied...call at least twice a week till they grant you an interview or tell you that the positions are filled.  I like to call that aggressive job hunting.

I've avoided temp agencies both for the fact that any misstep could screw me out of unemployment and job with them, although if the changeover on my unemployment is bad that will be out the window.  As for War-dialing, it's something I've avoided because every class or training course I've taken in terms of hunting for jobs has said not to - considering that everything I have done so far has not worked, though, I'm thinking I'll have to try it.  Thanks.

I agree with Russ, call them till they talk to you. shows you're interested. don't wait for them to call you. I've never got a job by waiting for them to call me
