All you can do is keep trying, praying, and thinking in a positive manner. Something will come your way! Good luck!

I think everyone is scared they'll get sued. Many companies require that all jobs be posted for a minimum period of time (sometimes 3 months) and that ALL candidates that meet the minimum requirements be considered. That can make it overwhelming and time consuming. If you're trying to get on fast, I'd look at family owned smaller businesses, where they have the flexibility to move faster.

I was in the same boat- applying for 5-10 jobs a day for five weeks and not hearing anything back. I finally applied for a food server position with a chain restraunt. That was three weeks ago and I am just now starting to get reject letters from 8 weeks ago. What irks me is when companies don't send any acknowledgement at all that they recieved your resume, etc.

I know as a manager I have a millon and one other things to do and hiring for some reason always gets pushed to the back of the line.

I will send good vibes your way
