Las Vegas Unemployment and Jobs not available... or are they?

I have applied to many restaurants out here, and other places as well, but I get no call backs for interviews or an email stating I'm not qualified enough. I have plenty of experience in different types of jobs but, it doesn't seem to be enough.

I'm not the only one out of work, and I'm not the only one getting no response from the places that claim to be hiring either. But when I see an ad for a bartender who needs to send in a head shot, or server who needs to send a full body shot, that's discrimination. I realize Nevada is a right to work state, but it is also and equal opportunity state as well... or so they say. Here are a few links to the craigslist ads people are posting about their experiences looking for work:

All these people have applied for the jobs that are constantly being re-posted daily, sometimes twice daily, and I know I've applied for the same ones and I know I AM a highly qualified candidate, so why aren't we getting an interview? I'm a hard worker with an awesome personality, that in the serving industry is no too harsh or overtly sweet, but I am 5'6" 220lbs and a plain Jane. I am not Hooter's Girl quality in looks, and I'm not a ditzy 21 year-old who will let some under-sized man with a napoleon complex feel me up. I've been to the rodeo a time or two and am the type of person who wouldn't put up with crap from perverted lonely men to have a job.

There are jobs out there, but only for the girls who are hot, it's not really if you're qualified enough, it's weather or not you would make good eye candy for the male customers they're trying to attract. But I can tell you this, ANY customer who gets crap service (weather or not your hot) isn't going to tip.

The following are ads that have been re-posted over and over again, and they are ridiculous:

So the moral is, if you want a job, you better get some work done.

Jackson Hewitt is NOT the place to go to get your taxes done anymore

So I went to Jackson Hewitt to get my taxes done because they have always been good to me. Well this year they switched banks so they no longer do instant refunds or next day, you HAVE to wait 72 hours, or so I was told. Well it has been 97 hours since my taxes were done and they are now telling me that Saturday and Sunday do NOT count as days anymore. Really? SO, now I HAVE to wait till tomorrow. I was completely IRATE so I was glad to tell the several people waiting to do their taxes to go to Check City or H&R Block to do their taxes where they will get their money back when they are told that they will. The Jack (that's what I call people who are jack a$$e$ to me) in the office then decides to yell at me about how wrong it was for me to cause them to lose several customers. I told them it was wrong of them to lie to me and tell me 72 hours when it is going to take 120 hours. If my money is not there tomorrow, I will be sitting outside their offices till I have to go to schoo

I Hate My Job... Old post recycled from 8/24/14 AKA The ugly truth about customer service over the phone

I know no one wants to hear me complain about my job, so this is your only WOB warning. This is a major rant. So major I wrote in in word before I copied it to Blogger. This is why I hate my job. I used to love helping people; my job makes me feel bad about it now. I sit in a cubicle, in a row of twelve cubicles, staring at a small monitor, connected to a slow running machine, in a warehouse filled with these same rows. The only change is the daily move from row to row so you never sit in the same place twice in a week. This is supposed to be meant for moral, so we don’t get bored with our jobs. They constantly upgrade the software we use to make our jobs “easier” and “more efficient”, when in reality all it does is make it harder to attain these high standards they set because they refuse to spend the money to upgrade the hardware required to run the software. This is what we as reps must maintain for goals daily, weekly, and monthly: Average Handle Time (AHT) – no more than 530

Things are looking up!

In less than four days I will be moving my family out of the crummy hotel and into a decent apartment. And in 12 days, I will be marrying the love of my life. So much to do and so little time to do it in. I stopped blogging for a while because my sibs were stalking my blog and telling friends I had known for a long time that I was crazy. I let those go that decided to believe them over me and kept those that knew me better than that. This is my blog, my therapy, my life. Now that they don't have mommy and daddy to take advantage of, they're looking to cause trouble. They have people I was very close to totally snowed. Not my loss, it's theirs. I'm happy now and they're pissed because I've gotten over being their family. They're pissed because I'm standing on my own two feet and I don't need them. My fiance and I are so happy. It's been a long time coming but we're making the right decision for our family. Only three people will be missing fro
