This whole job search sucks bad

Posted on 6/15/16 at 4:03 pm
Background is that I quit my job about six weeks ago despite hearing the famous "don't quit your current job until you find another one" line several times. Well, I was really unhappy where I was at so I said screw it and left for something else. ive sent a lot of resumes for job listings on indeed, monster, LinkedIn, etc and sill haven't landed on something and it's beginning to be extremely frustrating. Any words of advice or options to look at?

do you have a family to take care of? If so take anything possible at this point. Find a nice restaurant and go be a server for the time being. If not and you have money saved up to where it not gonna be a problem for a little longer just keep looking and good luck. What kind of work?

Depends on what you were doing... I know someone hiring in construction/welding.

Supply Chain mgmt and Construction Mgmt
I've worked in transportation/crane and rigging in the past but am open to learn something new or start fresh it really doesn't matter to me.
And no I'm not asking for my old job back

What field do you want to work in?
Go uber in the meantime.
ETA: Never mind, I see.

This... but obviously with a significant cut in pay for being such an a-hole.

Yeah, don't quit your job until you have a new one lined up.
Posted on 6/15/16 at 4:11 pm to PapaPogey
I think I finally unsubsribed from all of those the other day. Was a pain.
Good luck..look up places in Lake Charles and start hitting up their websites

I definitely wouldn't tell prospective employers that you up and quit your recent job and wouldn't have that on the resume. Best to act as if you still have the old job.

where do you live, about how old are you, what type of experience as well as education do you have?
