Reply #140: I'm in roughly the same boat as Lerkfish,

[scubadude]

but I have found that most of the jobs that are lower paying aren't hiring folks like us because they think we will bolt once things improve.

It's my experience that for the high paying jobs that we are qualified for they are looking for young people with huge skill sets and for the low paying jobs we are considered overqualified.

In my hunt it seems like I can't win, yet every day I put in as many applications as I can to jobs I am qualified for. Somethings gotta give sooner or later...

Best of luck Lerkfish, and the same to all unemployed DU'ers,
