Can a fishie drown?
I wish I could just ask someone what it is that makes them not hire me. My looks? The time I turn in my application or go to pick one up? What excuse do the people I e-mail have? They don't like my e-mail address?
I may not have any professional experience working with animals, but it is what I am passionate about. I have said this a few times in e-mails and on applications, but it doesn't seem to matter. Everyone wants someone with experience. It's a cruel cycle. I can't get experience because no one will hire me. Therefore, I am stuck.
"Just go apply at McDonalds." I can't. I don't want to be stuck in a job that's not going to be helping me in the career path I have chosen. I'm already a late bloomer, I don't have time to waste somewhere that isn't going to get me the experience I need. Maybe I am being too picky or too stubborn, but I would like to think that that makes a little sense.
Maybe I should just take out a huge loan and go to school. It would be more productive than sitting here trying to find a job. Then, hopefully, with certification someone will want to hire me. I would really love to go now. Well, in the fall anyway. So what's stopping me? The loan I guess. How fast will I be able to pay it back? What happens if I still can't find a job after school?
The future scares me. At the same time, i'm excited about it. I can't wait for us to get our own place and just be. No parents, no rules. Just us. Our own stress or lack of. I'm just scared it's going to take forever to get to the place I want to be. I miss home so much when i'm gone, but being here drives me crazy. I take on the worry that other people should have and family drama gets to me more than it should. I want us to be on our own. I want us to start our life, but money issues are blocking us.
Will we ever get there?

About me
I'm 25 years old. I am in love. I go to school. I game. I laugh. I have fun. I love animals. This blog has sprouted out of boredom and the need to comment on others' blogs. I hope to make it more someday.Wishlist

I know it's probably not the ideal job, but it will at least give you money and some sort of experience.
Also, I know it sounds dreadful, but it's almost a guarantee that if you apply at West, they will hire you. They have a lot of inbound contracts and you can get some customer service experience.
And my last idea, try an employment center. That's how Bianca got her last job, and she really liked it a lot. Those places tend to know of companies that don't advertise their position openings, and they have so many, that I am sure they can find you one you like.
Good luck, I really hope these can help you. I know how hard finding a job can be, I can't seem to get one here either. And now that I am looking more pregnant, I've really lost my chances.
