I found a job after a lengthy period of time unemployed. Everybody around me us jumping for joy but man, I feel let down. After all this time, it's the best i can do. Why can't I just look at the positive side? I'm sure I'll get there.

(16,020 posts)I have read that you are more likely to be hired if you are already employed than if not. Perhaps this will be your stepping stone.

(3,251 posts)It's been FIVE years, and I have NEVER found full-time or even part-time work, benefits or no, and I am nowhere close to ever getting on my feet again.
All I can get are shitty substitute jobs that are impossible to support myself.
