I've been out of work since February 1st. I am fairly depressed as I've had several interviews, including some second interviews and then NOTHING. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I have no money, I've spent everything I've had. I can't pay my bills and I'm scared that I'll never get a job. I can't use the bosses for any of my positions because the reason I lost the job was because of forgetfulness and focus issues, so I lost out on at least one job because I'm a "red-flag". I've only just come to the realization that I have ADD, but I have not gone to get diagnosed yet.

I just don't know what to do...I'm working as a temp occasionally, but not getting nearly enough assignments to allow me to live.

Maybe if you go and get diagnosed, treatment might bring you a more focused outlook. Could you go into business for yourself. I quit my job when I had my second child. Life just got to crazy and I did not get diagnosed until a year later. I do consulting work now and really stay on top of everything.

Some times part tie work is easier to come by - and more than one part time job can be enough to float you on by.


If you are getting second interviews but not the job perhaps role playing with a friend or practice answering some of the questions - normally by the time people have gotten to the second interview reference have already been called and checked out. . . it is normally some thing specific in the interview process like the answer to a question or some thing. The first interview is basically a general screening process in my experiences.

PS - love the kitty pic -

Thanks guys. I think I'm going to go get the ball rolling on Monday.

I'm usually very, very good in interviews. I've been hired straight out of an interview quite a few times. I don't know what is going on. It could be that I'm "desperate"...
