Like why can't I find a job?

Ahhh youth. The first reason you may not be able to get a job, you answered by asking the question I replied.

Oh yeah, like that makes sense...geez. Came the reply.

I stated quite matter of factly that the whole point you may not be able to get a job is because of your constant use of the word "like". It is in no way professional and it shows your character as being somewhat, how do we put this delicately.....umm....Paris Hilton - ish.

Mind you Paris Hilton in my opinion is a genius and plays the tabloids and the celeb world like puppets...so no offense Paris, just making a point ;)

Granted right now there is less and less work available as the days go by. With more companies closing down and more and more people being laid off it is DAMN hard to find a job for pretty much everyone. Having said that you will greatly lesson your chances if you act like a stupid person.

Using terms like:

"like"

"whatever"

"Oh my God"

"totally"

etc, is cute if you are in the age group of 1- 9 because you are learning to speak. After the age of 10, if you still use these terms (outside of having fun and acting like a "Valley Girl" deliberately) will greatly lesson your chances of work and of people respecting you.

Paris Hilton for example pretty much coined the phrase "that's Hot" and she is well aware of how much it influences people if she uses that phrase to endorse something, Paris is not looking for work so she can act anyway she likes.

So, things to look at when looking for a job.

If your area has been hard hit, as most have then you may need to ride out the storm unfortunately.

There are the usual methods such as the internet, newspapers, commercials, friends and then you hit the pavement.

The trick is not to get discouraged. We are all being affected by this in some way shape or form.

A positive twist is that this could be (for some) a blessing in disguise. You may now have the time to start your own business or become a consultant, similar to running a business but a little less work. Right now consultants in my area are being sought after via word of mouth.

Remember that finding a new job will be difficult for many but it may be your Godsend.

90% of available jobs are also NOT advertised with conventional methods, so hit the pavement at least once a week if not thrice.

Look around you, do some soul searching and breathe. Then jot idea's down. Think outside of the box and get 'er done.

Like, then you could like totally get a job. Totally :)
