back in 2002 I was unemployed for almost 8 months...I fell into depression, I lost my fiance, I gained weight, then I lost weight, I almost killed myself, etc...... yep.... those were rought times... looks like for me problems come in bundles...
But there's always light at the end of the tunnel, right? Look at you now, just barely four years later, you even co-directed your first short film! Good for you!!!
My mother says that when it rains it pours. (Aqui entre nos, I don't think that phrase is hers... it sounds like she CC'd it from somewhere... probably DJ Nash )

I've had so many jobs. I got some after quitting fridays and starting mondays at others. (When there were lots of jobs here). I worked for 8 years in a company which closed after 35 in the country ( they kept theirs in the States though, it was a U.S company). So after so many years without attending school I decided to go back to College. It wasn't easy, I had taken some high school credits while working at night but I wasn't ready to study full time. ANyways I graduated and worked 3 co-op placements ( while keeping a minimum GPA), and I didn't borrow much from OSAP. About a month after graduation I got a job, and then another in which I was laid -off but I'm still working for the same company doing something else and I wish I had another job. Wish me luck cause rigth now there are not that many.

I just became "legal" last November and now I suck at finding a job. I do have an appointment at the Employment Assitance Services tomorrow. I hope they can help me. Wait, I have to be optimistic.

I've been unemployed around 6 months back in '98 and it was the worst part of my life. I was dying to work and going crazy cleaning the small appt at least 10 times a day.
I was looking all the time but pple were kind of "worried" about the fact that I had a work visa, the cost it might generate for them, bla bla bla, pure B.S
Beside that, I've been working since I was 15 and always enjoyed it. No, wait, that's a lie, I hate my current position. Company is great and everything but my tasks are so boring but so far, it pays the bills

I haven't been unemployed since I started working when I was 16 years old... I always had a P/T job on the weekends and on the weekdays when they needed extra help....
Are you 17 NOW? LOL!!! j/k

I got here in June of '89 I forget the date, but I think it was a friday, i started working on monday.... I have NEVER been unemployed since, went through 2 jobs before opening my own bussiness in early '90 (plus a part time at an airline, along the way) so that might explain a lot

I'm sure a lot of you have a lot of these stories. You're been unemployed, looking for work for a few weeks or even months; had bad interviews (i.e. Colo QT); got jobs that were not that great but put food on your table. That kind of thing. What are some bad/good/horror stories that you have? What's the longest you've been unemployed? What did you do? Did you find work through regular avenues or did you do something totally out of left field?

Can't work. No SIN. I would if I could. Any cash jobs available, anyone?
