3 months. Thats how long I have been out of work now and its not getting any better. I have not put on the CV that I worked in a retail store because that will make it look sh!t. So in essence, it looks like for 8 months I have been out of work. Sure, I say that I have taken some time off to relax a bit and have some "Me Time". But this is getting ridiculous.

I cant get my foot in hardly anywhere and recruiters are a fcking joke. Absolutely crap. I dont know how they stay in business when it seems like nobody is getting work out of them. But then again, how the hell are people getting work?? I have all the skills, I have an education, I have experience, but those damn emails that come back saying that I am not qualified to be even a receptionist... well, how demeaning is this becoming?

Spenging almost all day trolling the internet for employers, filling out applications, writing and re-writing cover letters on a daily basis is really killing my psyche. I cant seem to do this anymore. Recruiters make me feel stupid with their insensitive emails, and the no response to the long essay applications I spent hours on, well... I feel so gaddamn useless at this point.

I'm broke and my husbands pay packet is gone after paying the bills (except for Council Tax... that is now overdue as well as the electricity because I have nothing left in my account.) All we have to eat now is some frozen veggies, half a bag of rice, some flour to make bread and condiments in the fridge. That is what we have until the end of the month.

Please... someone, give me a chance.
