I have to laugh

I have to laugh

So, I've gotten to the point in my job search where I can't do anything but laugh. I recently received 3 rejection letters that are paying $10-$15 an hour for sales positions. I have 8 years of experience, 3 in a lead position. I've been stuck in the worst job I've ever held for the past 3 years because I cannot find anything willing to pay my worth. I haven't interviewed with anyone in over a month. It seems like karma for something I've done in a past life at this point. I just can't help but to laugh at how ridiculous this all feels.

Sorry, needed to vent. Have a great day everyone!

    It's good to remind yourself that the market and economy as a whole is struggling and will remain struggling until next year when things are more certain. It sucks fir us job seekers but it's not based on our value.

    Hang in there!

    Perhaps you can get a general job: Walmart, King Sooper, or other. Those pay in the range of what your rejection letters were. You can then look for other work after a bit since it is often easier to get employed when you already have a job.
