One unemployed person put his mind to getting himself employed, and came up with this:

http://www.regretsy.com/2011/08/10/attention-adventurous-homeowners/

I'm giving him 2 points for imagination.

And I'm taking 3 points for the mess the "employer" will probably have to clean up.

That's a bit desperate. I'm freelance, but seeing as I've only worked six days this year I suppose I'm unemployed. Companies where I've worked have closed down, people who used to give me employment are now unemployed themselves. Most old friends are...unemployed. And I'm a few months away from being 61, but no complaints, it's been great, & I'm in a position where I don't need to earn much these days. I do feel so sorry for people entering the job market now, they made the big mistake of being born at the wrong time.

I'm unemployed as of this past Friday. Hard for me to actually believe it. I was at my last company for 28 years, but I worked for a division of a company that is dependent on government contracts. Our government has no money, so there are virtually no new contracts. Luckily, I have about 32 weeks before I'm in trouble. But that'll go by quickly. I'm one of millions who are unemployed and looking!

To Philly Son- Sorry to hear that, hope you find something soon, it's tough out there now, but if your not in a small town you got a better shot , if your not picky, in the big city, people i know during tought times drove cabs, car service etc, if you can drive and you don't mind any job, you don't even need to drive or have any resume, courier jobs, security jobs etc etc, loads more, small towns however can be real tough , without work .

You can call me unemployed. My boyfriend works and earns good money, I´m doing the wash, the cleaning, the ironing. Still have to learn about the cooking though - but I hate it. Technically you could call me the housewive. And I don´t mind, I like doing those things. I really like to do the cleaning, funny, ain´t it? It´s a fun job to me.

I even made someone an offer some days ago: do the cleaning naked smile. But he´d pay not that good so I´m not considering it big grin

But I was unemployed before, long before I knew my boyfriend who supports me right now. Horrible times, I wouldn´t even wish it to my enemy. There were times when I had nothing to eat just because I was so incredibly dumb and bought a score or one pack of cigarettes. You know, something strange happens with your life when you say a sentence of Scarlett O'Hara to yourself "As God is my witness, I will never get hungry again" and you actually know what it means.

The dinosaur idea is wonderfully creative. I wish I were that creative... but I´m not.

Reminds me of this: http://victoria.en.craigslist.ca/fbh/2489510276.html

As for me . . . I'm overqualified for everything except the jobs I'm under-qualified for, it seems! One year now without steady work. Hooray for "jobless recovery"!

That an invitation wink? If I´ll ever visit the states with my boyfriend I for sure will give you a visit. I´m curious of this Arroz con Pollo - and I´ll clean up after.

Was the same here. Until I started working as a callcenter agent. And I was surprised because I loved it - in the beginning that was. But I had fun and learned a lot. Try something you wouldn´t normally consider, maybe you´ll like it.

I've been looking at magazine racks containing The Economist and the like. What tf happened? Seems we've all hit the buffers big time. The dollar, the euro . . . it all stops here and now. We've reached a very prominent limit that spells BRICKWALL.

I'm not unemployed yet, although I was for a couple of years during the last recession in the 90s. I wonder when my turn is due. If I turn to crime, then I can go to prison and get fed and housed and clothed . . . just like Bernie Madoff.

I've been unemployed for 3 years, 6 months and counting, have just gotten approved for welfare (where they give me $215 towards my $813 rent!), and I wouldn't do that.

If anyone knows your situation, I do, down to the rent situation and everything!

I'm raising my hand now.

How things change over time, huh?
