Job to supply me with additional money it's my job to find a job, I had Applied for Wendy's, a Supermarket, a factory that makes air craft parts, a pizza restaurant, nursing home, a guitar shop because I know about guitars but their not hiring, I had applied for a diner, I don't know I've put resumes and applications in so many places than the ones I've named, that's all I do is job hunt my question is do you think I'll ever find a job?

I feel as if there is nothing out there for me

In this economy, the old saying "It's not what you know but who you know" is very applicable.

Filing applications is necessary, but you should also be asking friends and relatives about openings. For example, do you know anybody else who has an entry level job? Say he works at that Wendy's you wrote about. Does he know about someone who is planning on quitting next week? If so, be there that day and ask if they have any openings.

Do you do any volunteer work, say at a hospital? If not, start volunteering somewhere. Maybe an animal shelter, or teaching kids how to play the guitar at a parks and recreation program. Be the best volunteer they've ever had, showing up early, working late, performing your duties wonderfully. The people who work at the place you volunteer will know people who need employees and will give you a reference. Not the first or the third or even the 20th week, but eventually.

You need to get out in the world and let people know what a good employee you can be. Then you'll get a job.
