  I'm sorry you're having a rough time. I work part time too and it's depressing. Hopefully things turn around. Have you tried Monster.com or any major search engine like that?

  Aw, I'm sorry to hear you're having a rough time of it. What is your degree in? What kind of job are you looking for? Would you be willing to take something outside of your field, if it was full-time with benefits?

  My degree is in Surgical Technology... yeah I know not the easiest thing to get into!  I have been applying to anything/everything in the medical field that I can.  My current PRN job is in a laboratory so I've also been applying to other labs, medical offices, receptionists, etc.    I reeallllyyy want to stay in the medical field because once you get out of the field its really hard to get back into it!!
  I just applied to 3 more jobs last night so cross all your fingers for me!!

  Sorry it's taking you a while to find a job! I can relate in a way - I was a stay at home mom for two years, and when I decided to start working again it took me a few months to get a job offer. But I love the job that I've got, so I think it was totally worth the wait! Are there any temp/recruitment agencies in your area that you can use? That's how I got my first out of college jobs, and it ended up being temp to permanent, so I stayed in the place for almost two years. Also I've found it useful to have a profile with my information on LinkedIn, I know that some of the companies I've interviewed with looked at it, I think it was a good way for them to get a better idea of my fit as a candidate. Good luck and don't get discouraged, I'm sure you'll find a job that's worth all the stress and search!

Things will get better for you! just keep your head up and try and put a smile on your face!

  I can't advise about getting a job in your field, but I can tell you that if your FI wants to marry you for the right reasons, he'll stick with you through this, too!  One thing I have learned in my marriage is that we all have times where we need support -- emotionally, financially, and physically.  Strong marriages help us get through life.  You may need his support now, but there will come a time when he will need you to return the favor.
  
  I hope things look up in the job department for you real soon!

  I know how you feel, when I didn't have a job I felt so depressed, and angry too. I felt like people were acting like I wasn't trying and like it was so easy to find a job and all I wanted was a little support and sympathy at that time. So I totally feel you, and all I can say is hang in there, it will turn around. Try and stay positive and don't give up. And like Juliesaid, if your FI wants to marry you its because he loves you, not for your money. Hell be there to support you through this time because that's what people in love do.

  So sorry to hear about your job struggles   I second what anastassiiat said about checking out the temp agencies.  I did that for a few weeks after I got laid of a few years ago and, while it wasn't my favorite jobs to do it brought in money and that's all that mattered while I was permanent job hunting.  So jump in there and take that $10 an hour job because it's definitely better than the $0 an hour job, LOL.  It's hard but try not to get too stressed out.  Everything will work out for you in the end and your FI will love you no matter what happens.

  
  

  Sending good thoughts your way!

  I don't know much about surgical technology (I'm a nurse), but have you tried local hospitals, surgi-centers, even dermatology practices (I know they do a lot of minor procedures in their offices, I just had some done!) 
  
  Hugs and good luck to you!  I feel your pain, I just told my fiance that I felt like I hit a wall, and I'm starting to feel overwhelmed.   Just come vent here, we're always listening!

  Where's bar at? She works in a similar field, maybe she'll have some good advice.

  
  

  I was unemployed for 8 months recently. I got a job right out of college but it was horrible and made me miserable. It was a teaching job in the inner city and they seriously dupped me. I turned them down to go back and chose to go unemployed in a shitty and dying teaching market in a vary small concentration-health. I live in a rural area so every district only has one health teacher, so openings are few and far between. I finally got a job offer to do community health ed through a nonprofit. It doesn't pay very well, and it's not classroom teaching, but it works. Anyways, I totally feel your pain. It's really defeating to search and apply endlessly just to get rejected over and over and over. Sorry things are hard right now. I hope they turn around for you soon.
