I need help getting a job...?

Question

I got laid off about a month ago as a BD-J Engineer(software programmer) and its been very very difficult lately to get a job. I've been applying to every staffing agency, every job on monster.com that reflects my background experience, and just about anything I can do at the moment. What more can I do, should change the way I present myself, like talking or communication? The thing is I don't have the most attractive voice, its kinda a pitchy, and I'm thinking thats what is causing my job hunting more difficult. Please any advice, I only have about 2 months worth of rent money left.

Answer 1

You might want to think about asking for cash advance or even try to collect unemployment that should cover your rent for a while. Honestly its not you its just the economy. Your not the only one in this boat many are with you feeling your pain.

Answer 2

Wow sorry to hear about your situation. One question. Have you watched a movie called Office Space, the possibilities are basically unlimited. I think you should take whatever job you can get until you can find an ideal job. If you only have 2 months of rent left the money situation seems to need fixing first so that you have some sort of income. It might be time to try a different strategy in your job hunt. Rather than go with the websites, try writing letters to companies that you are interested in working for. Hope that helps.
