Question by naomanos: Unable to gain employment and not sure why?
I was a stay-at-home father for the past 5 1/2 years until my relationship of 10 years ended this summer. the girl that I was with decided that she would be with another man. So I ended up moving in with my parents 1200 miles away.
I was a stay-at-home father because of financial and geographical reasons. We had one car and no mass transit to speak of. It was a rural town. We decided that one parent would stay home and take car of the kids because even if the both of us worked we wouldn’t be able to afford child care.
Now that I am looking for employment no one seems to want to hire me for whatever reason. Since the end of August I have put out about 30 apps to jobs that I know I have the skills for or are looking to train and only had one give me two interviews and one job an initial interview. That’s it. I even went to a staffing agency and was told that they couldn’t help me.
I am registered with the county employment agency and have applied to most of my jobs from there. They have looked over my resume and say that it looks good and no changes are needed.
I just don’t know what I am too do. I know that the economy is getting worse by the day and that all companies are taking a hit. I can see just in the classifieds that the number of jobs available is steadily declining. Not even the local fast food places have any help wanted signs up in their windows and when asked say they aren’t hiring at this time. They have even gone as far as to say to one girl that I talked to that she is over qualified because she was once a CNA. I was once an EMT and would probably hear the same thing.
What can I be doing wrong?

I doubt you’re doing anything wrong…its just the economy that is in such bad shape which, unfortunately, is affecting your (and just about everyone looking for a job) ability to find employment. Good luck!
