To the OP, google "no experience resume" and read, read, read. There are a LOT of resources out there. Keep an eye on your local public library and community colleges, they may offer resume-building and/or interviewing technique classes. Do you or your girlfriend know anyone who works in HR or is she close with anyone in HR at her job? That would be a good person to run your resume by and do some practice interviewing.

And first things first, you need to lift your head up, stop being embarrassed and KNOW that you have something to offer a company. If you don't believe you're worth hiring, no employer will think so either. Good luck!
nittanyalum, I haven't asked my fiance about her HR department, but I will. I didn't think about that. Thanks. But yeah, I'm just very frustrated right now, because it's just one dead end job after the other.

Sometimes good people have employment problems. I don't know LowLite's full story, but maybe you should give him the benefit of the doubt before calling him a loser and mocking his job.
No, I meant what I said to him. I tried to offer him advice in another thread and his response to me was extremely rude, and for no reason whatsoever. I understand that some people are less fortunate than others, and I wasn't mocking his jobs for that reason. He said something to me in another thread that I thought was uncalled for before this one was started.

I wasn't being snarky to him.

First of all, I'm not a bitch!!! Secondly, I'm not stuck up!!! And third, I tried offering you advice about moving up into a management position with your pizza company. Instead of ignoring my post, you decided to make a rude remark to me for no reason at all, so what do you expect in return?!! LowLite, I don't have a problem with your jobs. It's YOUR life, not mine. But you didn't have to be rude to me, especially after I tried to help you. I already said if I was in your fiance's shoes, I wouldn't care where you worked, as long as it was an honest job.

Ya know, I'm not going to chat with you anymore, nor will I give you anymore advice in regards to your job search and I'm sorry for calling you a loser.

I hope you find something that makes you happy.

Because her zoo-pals are tired of hearing her verrrrrrrrrrrrrrry long ponderings on monkey genes and potential resources on Mars, and they've all started ignoring her. She's just jealous, so she's taking it out on intarweb folks to whom, in her mind, she's superior.

I would suggest putting her on ignore, but I haven't been able to make myself do it. Her faulty logic and naivety, although completely frustrating, are entertaining.

Haha!

I actually find some of her threads interesting, but what I don't like is how she insults other people based on their place of employment. I've seen it before. I went to school with a bunch of these. The ritzy, stuck up bitches who felt they were too good to talk to people who were less fortunate than they were. She comes off as one of those to me.

To get this thread back on track for you LowLite, I have a suggestion (FWIW): work on writing excellent cover letters. Resumes say a lot, but cover letters and letters of recommendation, in my experience, say even more. If you're not doing this already, be sure to tailor each resume packet to include a cover letter that identifies how your experiences have helped prepare you for the job you're applying for. And also be sure to include letters of recommendation.

he was a total jerk to everyone who tried to help him that said something other than "you'll do fine, i'm sure you'll be okay" type crap

seriously, even if he was real, whatever sympathy his first posts got him disappeared pretty quickly once he started with the attitude.

I don't know if he was real or not, but whoever he was, he was a total jerk. I hope he gets "banned" from Wendy's too. lol
