Can't you just find a job you like? If you have a job that is stressful but pays decent, you're still in for a long week. However, if you have a job you love, you never have to work a day in your life

I’m 99.99% sure that a “job you love” only exists in fiction. At least it does for me, anyways.

One thing to consider is just trying to make a few friends. If you have any friends and haven’t asked them about job opportunities they might know about, you’re really missing out. Connections are the easiest way to get a job.

and some times the best way to destroy connections/friendships if it goes south too...

There's really no friends or family involved in business. It's business. At least for me. If you can really do it bravo. Better than me lol

I think verge is alluding to the fact that lot of companies (and govt agencies!) hire extensively on word of mouth or referral programs. It’s unfair, but common.

3 years is a long time in this job market. Personally, I think you should be looking for another job about now. And crush the mofo in the meantime 😂 but seriously though I don’t know anyone anymore who stays at a place for too long, you get a huge pay raise when you switch and not so great ones when you stay.

Also to address the part where you said you’re under qualified - when employers create write up job positions, it’s more of a wish list. They’re effectively weeding out people who don’t have the confidence to apply. Every job has a learning curve, and that’s why they have training. Get yourself out of the “I’m under qualified” mindset.

It’s not just you. I’ve been applying for new, better paying jobs for awhile now too. It’s easy to discouraged, especially when you get rejection after rejection.

Honestly, it’s about luck. These companies get so many applications that they barely skim the resumes.

Once I got rejected AFTER an interview for being “overqualified” 🤪

Keep applying! Where are you applying and what does your resume look like? I’ve been applying on Indeed.com, LinkedIn, usajobs.gov, and then I have some friends that work at the big 4 accounting firms so I’ve been applying on those sites as well. I’ve probably redone my resume at least 3 times.

I have been wanting to start working out and start getting into shape (Round is a shape though!)

I work out for a living. I was at the top of a 24 foot ladder at 9 o'clock this morning and at noon I was still on an 8/12 pitch roof on my knees and then standing up to trim out windows. Get a head rush doing that and you're in trouble...

My problem is I love to eat. Had a couple of Snickers bars and a big glass of milk for breakfast and came home and ate a giant piece of chocolate birthday cake and a couple of scoops of ice cream just for fun. Four beers on the way home too. Plus I drink coffee with three scoops of sugar every morning to wake up, at least three cups. I'd be a cow if I sat in a chair all day.

You know my husband is a contractor too, right? He is very much the same way. Except instead of a sweet tooth, he is all about burgers and pizza. But you know, simple carbs all turn into glucose whether they are sugar or bread.

I watched a program the other day about rape.

I am so sorry. No absolutely means no. Sometimes, I am just absolutely not in the mood and my husband is very careful not to pressure me into doing anything I don’t want to do. That’s not to say he isn’t down the second I hint at it LOL but in our house, and it should be like this everywhere, no absolutely means no. It will take time to get past this, but I believe that you can do it. Consider seeing a therapist. This is something a professional can help you with better than strangers on the Internet.
