Hi ( ... )

Well, I have actually been doing all of what you just suggested already. I've looked everywhere, but had no call backs. I've been looking for less retail-oriented jobs too, even general labor. I also have other things on my resume besides Wal-mart. They are all retail or food industry. I've been working since I was about 16, and haven't been unemployed since. I usually find a new job before quitting, but with 15 credit hours at school, and trying to work having a job into my schedule, its becoming tough. I didn't get fired today...I guess I can just keep doing what I have been. I suppose it just feels hopeless, I've been actively job hunting for the past year and a half now.

Thank you for that by the way, I know it was a long thing to read. I don't want to be ungrateful. I am angry at my work is all :P.

may i suggest... smblackbird3 March 2 2011, 01:03:42 UTC

I def know how tough it is on the job market these days. I work in retail too and it sucks. Meantime, I look for jobs like everyday or every other day. Ive had luck in the past with indeed.com and simplyhired.com. I dont know if it provides listings for AZ but i believe so considering it searches by zip code. I hope we have some good luck! :P

Thanks for the suggestion, but I made this post over a year ago. I ended up moving back in with my parents because Walmart kept cutting my hours, and I couldnt afford my expenses. Now I'm on the job hunt in another state, heh. It was kind of you to try and help though :).
