Ours is much thinner than it was back in like 2004 for example when I was out of work for 5 months due to a lay off back then. Just look at the crappy economy why.

You sound like the 85% of the people applying for the 10% of the jobs. If you have a sellable skill, which I highly doubt, you should be door knocking and selling your skills to companies you want to work for. Don't wait for the want ads in the classifieds.

Some jobs I truly such as part time I may be making more sitting at home LITERALLY than gone to work somewhere for real. It sucks they PENALIZE you for taking a part time job that you cannot add the wages to the wages they are giving you. They subtract them so let's say I am getting $200 hypothetically, if I make $200 doing a part time job, I just costs myself more gas and wear & tear as well as risking accidents to go work so I am actually going in the HOLE, understand? I could have stayed home and not spent my gas, wear n' tear, risking accident, etc. If they would let you ADD it to your wage, I would have gotten a part time job A LONNNGGG TIME AGO. They penalize you though so if you make your benefit amount, you don't get to get both what you made and the benefit amount.

People who truely want to work will do anything to get off unemployment. A job is a job and you can still look for one in your field in the meantime.

You might want to brush up on trespassing laws. Anyone under the employ of a business can request you leave the premises, and you are legally obligated to comply. There is no grey area. If you are causing a disturbance, you must leave at the request of any agent of the company. In any business siutation, customers are guests, and are trespassing the second they are asked to leave. I have been down this road numerous times with nutbars like you.

This is the Chain of command:

Chili's franchise owner
Chili's manager
Chili's Shift manager
Chili's bartender
Chili's Waiter
Chili's busboy
Chili's dishwaher
Chili's janitor
Chili's trainee
----------------------------anyone above this line can ask you to leave the premises and legally you have to comply.
Then it continues as follows:
Screaming baby in high chair.
Hobo foraging for half eaten Chimichangas in the dumpster.
Empty tub of Ranch dressing.
Moldy Potato skins.
Puddle of mop water in alley.

I called companies at least twice already them saying they weren't hiring all through the phone book. A couple of so did let me send my resume, but no call back, because they really weren't hiring.

As I said, then if that job wants a 2-week notice and the employer wants to hire me RIGHT AWAY starting the next day, that won't work, will it? I would have just missed my chance to get what I was looking for to work at let's say a store or something.

Also, let's say I try the job out, it doesn't work out, so now I can't fall back on that old job I didn't get to give my 2 week notice. I am back in the same boat again.

So it's always easy to say if you are smart. Also, WHEN am I going to be able to go to interviews if THEIR only time is NOT when I am off, then that means I am putting that store job(let's say it's a store) job not in good standing missing work all the time that if I have to stay there, I won't get a good evaluation missing work constantly for interviews. You have all the answers, but you don't know SH**!

Sounds like you have a whole lot of excuses not to go back to work. What kinda of crappy work do you do, where a company isn't willing to give you 2 weeks to get your life in order and give adequate notice to start a new position?

If you are truly as valuable an employee, and as hard a worker as you say, any company would give you that latitude. We will give the right most talented candidate up to 6 weeks if need be.

Employers will wait if they value the skill you are offering.

You have a built in excuse for any advice I give you. You want iron clad gaurentees in life when there clearly isn't any. You must live a very sheltered life.

If a company really wants to hire you, they will wait the two weeks before you can start. Then again, I don't know why they would want to hire you.

U actually are not required to give "2 weeks" notice. You can quit a job at any time. The reasonable notice you give an employer is based on if you want to get paid. You aren't entitled to compensation if you quit without reasonable notice, but if you are moving to a better job "TODAY" then who cares.

Then why did I interview with a few employers that told me they were going to hire someone right away, huh?

Some will, some won't, but missing work at let's say a store job is not good, I could get FIRED for missing work. Do you realize if that ends up being my main job due to that this job search of what I am really looking for doesn't work out that it will be bad on my EVALUATION there? I am person that doesn't miss work often, so if they hire me thinking that my recommendation letter had that I had good attendance than don't, do you think that will be good for KEEPING THE JOB or getting raises or even them cutting my hours, huh?

For example, I have 2 interviews next week. I have to keep my schedule open for interviews. The employer isn't always going to be available at your time.

Morally, though, I have a CONSCIENCE not to do that, understand? That's not nice to do.

Everything in life is a risk. I dare you. Name one thing which is not a risk in life?

• Take a step out of bed can be risky. You could slip and fall.
• Bending over to pick up the morning newspaper can be risky. You could hurt your back.
• Going to work can be risky. First, there is the drive and, then, who knows what could happen at the workplace. It is filled with all sorts of risk.
• Sleeping at night can be risky. What if you don’t wake up…

Risk is everywhere, so we might as well get used to it.

As T.S. Eliot said: “Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.”

Essentially, this is a true statement. “Going too far” may depend on the type of risk being pursued. However, life is filled with risk. We need to accept it. We need to deal with it. We need to embrace it… deliberately, fearlessly, smartly, and aggressively.

Taking the right risks moves our life forward. Sitting in fear leads to stalemate or, simply stated, a stale life.

In a job that you don't plan on making a career out of (ie retail store) they would be very naive to think that employee turnover would be low. Basically you have to hire with the notion that people are going quit tomorrow, so not given any notice would hurt.

Now if you went into that job interview for that retail job and lied about your intentions then it is a different story.
