I hope it doesn't come to that. Remember, things always look darkest before the dawn, or before it goes completely black, something like that Good luck with things Ernst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilmiscantberong Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 That's my problem I've been a independent contractor for the last 5 years no unemployment for me ! I truly am sorry. The situation is not good for a lot of us now, real tears are being shed and there is no joy in our holiday. Please everyone. If you are able to afford any extras, please, please help out a family in need with food. Things are tough for many and food is a basic need that for many that don't have it right now. Thank you so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ionic7 Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 hang in there man. i just got a job. first actual job ive had in 7 years. ive been self employed for a while now but it just wasn't working. heard about a job.... applied.... got called and took all the testing within a wk of initial application! blew my mind! i said a lot of prayers man... try it... it worked wonders for me. or maybe i just got lucky as sh*t! lol! don't give up! I had a few easy job offers as soon as I put my resume on hotjobs and monster, then ended up getting a job pretty quick too, praying was not involved but actually applying for any job is what did it, I dont get how people say there is no work there are places like tim hortons or similar establishments that always have now hiring signs up and do go through alot of employees so it is just a matter of really looking.
