re: Places to Help with Finding Employment

Not sure if this was mentioned and edited out, but where do you live? If the job market is so poor that you can't find employment in 13+ months putting forth a serious effort, I think it is time to consider relocating.

Have you tied actually going in to some of the places instead of just e-papering your resume? I'm not really sure what a counselor education degree would qualify you for, but have you tried HR?

Best success I have had searching for jobs is through friends that are knowledgeable about openings, or potential openings that aren't even posted yet. Those and developing contacts through local industry trade associations.

Also, it may not be a bad idea to try and diversify your skill set if you aren't able to find anything immediately. Try some online courses in practical business skills such as accounting.
