Unemployed and Trying Stories; Great Resume but No Jobs!
November 3, 2009 · Posted in Uncategorized
We would like to thank you all for your unemployed and trying stories. We encourage you to send us emails with your stories! Please vote on the Unemployment Benefits Extension poll as well!
- We need to pass this unemployment extension H. R. 3548 bill YESTERDAY because this is the worst recession I’ve ever experienced and I’m almost 40. It’s bad enough in other countries that people don’t have food and people are sleeping on dirt floors. That’s where we’re headed in America if they don’t pass this fourth extension now! Trust me when I tell you, the job market is a catch 22. They won’t hire you if you have upper management experience because you’re overqualified just looking for a “now” job and on the other side of the coin, they only hire the very top person out of 200 applicants if they don’t already have an internal transfer they can hire first. The recession recovery has a long time to go and I’ve been through this before, but not this bad so I now realize. This is a domino effect situation. If you’re not effected now, chances are you will be in some way in the near future. I know people that were completely not effected in 2007 and 2008 and now they’ve let everything go except their mortgage payment and they’re now struggling to save their house even though they stopped paying the other bills and are being sued because they can’t file another extension. Let’s not let the “Titanic” sink again. Too many people sank the first time!
- I lost my job in the car business on Oct. 2008 and cannot find a new job even with a great resume. No ones even calling me back. Benefits run out Dec.2009 and Im worried what will happen. I never not had a job nor ever much called in sick or took vacations. All I want is a job again so I can feel like a person. Benefits need to be longer so us Americans can have a chance to get back on our feet and get our pride back, without extra benefits more homes and savings will be lost.
Thank you

- You in the house and congress get paid and have jobs because of us. However I am one who worked for 40 years in business that was laid off the mortgage industry I have sent more than 700 resumes out with no job after 2 years and no benefits ….I want to work. But there is nothing I rely on unemployment to help my family I would take anything but nothing and you men and women play god with our lives I am sick of all of the stalling we voted for u next time you may be unemployed
UPDATE: We have had an amazing response to this issue! If you would like to write an article to those in Washington as to why YOU think unemployment benefits should be extended please email them to jwojdylo@subprimeblogger.com. If your article is free of profanity and any direct insults we will be more than happy to post it here on Unemployed and Trying so you can send the link to anyone you choose.
