Searching the employment sites every morning has become a job in it's self. There are jobs out there. On average 5 to 10 Resumes have been sent to potential positions. Unless access to a computer with Internet is available there is no way someone can find a job. The Internet has made searching for a job so much easier. Search a site, find some possible jobs send out resumes. It saves on paper, ink, gas and time. Before it was type out Resumes, check out the paper and drive around to potential companies to see if they were hiring. It was hitting the pavement. Now employers don't want you to send in a hard copy of your Resume, they just want it by email. Even faxing has gone by the way side.
The search has been for an administrative or office type employment. After working since the age of 19 in mostly manufacturing positions it's time for a change. Administration is not that difficult. Hard to believe that colleges offer a 3 year course for general administration. For medical or legal a one year course covering the aspects of what is required, but 3 years get real. After searching some of these courses that are being offered they are very basic. Similar to basket weaving 101.
