Cover letter tells me absolutely nothing about you. Talk about pertinent education, extra curriculars that may round you out as a candidate, trade associations you apart of, etc

Do you have a paragraph about the company and why you'd be interested in the position?

Also, aren't you a felon? Do you check that box on the application?

What exactly do you have experience in?

Sign up on linkedIn and find a recruiter/headhunter, they'll come to you with job opportunities.

I will redo my coverletter. Under Ga law it's 1st offenders so my felony will not show up. So no i dont have to check that box. :mj:

I understand. I know once i get a job it will be a good paying one. But i'm just having a hard time finding a job. And this un-employment is not cutting it

Ever tried craigslist? There's a ton of scam on there but there's a few legit jobs on there. I got two job offers from that site, one at $13/hr and another at $15/hr.

Took the $13/hr one cuz it offered benefits and room for growth.

But you gotta make sure the jobs you apply for on there are the real deal and not scam.

SOMETHIN REAL FO YO ASS IN THESE HANDS!!!!
I only came in here to dap you, original poster; i'm way to trill not to remember this fact.

I don't care what I go on to do, I'm so happy to be blessed with a pretty good career now, and I'll never forget flipping through the yellow pages, cold calling businesses, looking to see if anyone needed work.

At a point, that's all I could do to keep my hope up, so I did it.

I'm always filling out applications because I job hop like a motherfukker on these minimum wage to $10/hour jobs. I got an interview at McDonald's tomorrow (why they'd ever need to "interview" someone is beyond me) - I plan to work there for about five weeks and quit.

Why did you leave State Farm on the first place. I wouldn't recommend leaving a job until you have secured something else first.

man... a job is a job. :lolbron: even at mcdonalds.

and job hopping isn't a good idea either. employers won't hire you if they see that you can't stay at a job for a decent period without a valid reason.
