Free spirit86 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Hello Everyone! I have been fairly positive about getting a job since I returned to California. I moved up to Northern California because my mother told me that there were jobs here, but I have been here for two months and I have been on only two interviews. My plan was to be here for 6 months, get my personal trainer certification, and then move abroad to be with my boyfriend. I am feeling very overwhelmed with the thought of staying here past the summer. My boyfriend is coming to see me(We actually made that definitive!) but well its expensive and I wanted to help him out. I currently stay with my grandmother, and he wont be able to stay here! I just feel so sad, stressed, and uncertain about many things because I do not have a job. I have bills I need to pay, things I want to get in order before I leave! Two months, no job, and only two interviews?!!! I have very basic skills. I have worked in an office, and I have some college level education. I really do not know what the hell to do at this point, all I know is that I really want out of this city and this state. Any advice? Link to post Share on other sites
creighton0123 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 In this economy, a job is a job. If you're not collecting on unemployment benefits, earning $1000 a week is great. Earning $500 a week is good. Earning $200 a week is better than earning $0. There are most certainly jobs in Northern California. The question is are you willing to take a job to earn money even if it isn't a job you want to do? To only have two interviews in two months suggests you're looking for the latter when you may need to buckle down, get behind a cash register or into a department store and do the former.
