[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 318685, member: 1233"] It IS frustrating. I STILL go in and talk to people about job openings. Or I have husband do it, cause I cannot work now. 3 years ago I wanted to do some holiday work to pay for gifts. I got almost rejected by one company's computer and then went in (since I shop there regularly anyway) and spoke to the manager about it (With a few items to purchase in one hand). She spoke to me briefly and then told me how to get around the system to get info to her through the company's system. So that may be a strategy you can use. You can also fall back onto the informational interview. Find someone with a career you are interested in. Ask them for a few minutes of their time. Ask about how they were hired, what the first job with the company was, yadda yadda and so on. Then you can apply and the person (hopefully) has a good impression of you and can pick your name out of the applications submitted. I got several good jobs this way. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
