I can't find a job...?

Question

I worked REALLY hard to finish my degree, and had a 3.8 GPA. After college it took me awhile to find a good job,but I did...but then I was let go-not sure if I was laid off, or fired-it was a contract position and one day they just didn't need me anymore-wouldn't really let me know when I asked.
Since then, I have applied at numerous jobs but only get 100% commission sales jobs, which I always get fired from or quit on bad terms because the stress of living on my own and trying to work on commission and selling to people in Michigan's economy is tough! I just don't think it's the right fit for me...

I was really depressed but found a job doing online sales for an adult website! I did really well at first, but now the company is going under and I can't find anything similar! I am embarrassed to put it on my resume, so now I have this weird employment gap....I tried to get over my embarrassment and even listed it but so far no one responded, or when they did I swear they were just laughing at me and not serious about hiring me.

Not to mention I feel like at every job I have I work hard, but people still dislike me! :( I have been fired many times, or pushed out of my job until I quit. I think I may have some kind of personality disorder , or need counseling (so please be nice when you respond!! I'm doing my best!) but I can't afford to get help without a job! But every job I've been at either doesn't pay enough for me to get counseling or I get fired before benefits kick in....

I know a lot of people who seem a lot less nice than me, bad personalities, etc...but they still manage to keep a job....I must be really awful then?!
So, I have this huge employment gap, and bad references....I have no idea even what my job skills are in or where to even apply...

I feel like I work hard, I try to be a good/nice/decent person...but I get nowhere....sometimes I just want to give up....I don't know what to do anymore!!! I have no one to help me financially, and if I can't figure out something soon I'm going to be homeless....I've even considered that jail would be better than the way I'm living...

Answer 1

apply right away for unemployment benefits, use some of that money eat a good meal, relax for one evening, let your mind go, get a good night's sleep, the the next day contact united way to ask about free counseling, then at the unemployment center use their systems to brush up and polish your resume, get a hair cut, have your shoes shined, dry clean your suit, Post your resume on monster .com, and see if unemployment office has list of jobs you can check out that fit your job skills

Answer 2

Cheer up! It sounds like you are in a really bad situation. Try the fast food restaurants or take some part jobs (real estate/ insurance). Since your grades are good, have you considered giving tuition. Maybe, you would like to go and see an employment agent to help you get a job.You have just had some bad luck like me. Some employers just don't like people like us. Forget the references, not many employers ask for that anyway.Please don't resort to stealing!!
