how long do you usually go without a job before someone hires you?

[keissy2000]

i havent never been out of a job at all since 2004. i have always had my mom's daycare on the side and even when i wasnt employed. but these past 2 weeks are like blended together for me coz it's been about 2 weeks before i found another job. this week i didnt work at all, and next week i dont know my schedule so i dont know if i can pay rent. this really sucks when ur struggling.

i have never had a job unless you call fusion cash being a job than i havent been out of a job for about a month

I've been going years without a job. The last time I worked was before I entered 9th grade.

man i still dont know my schedule for next week or even if im working. i'm giving these people the benefit of the doubt for another week and see if anything happens.

Out of 17 years of working, I've only spent about 6 months not working and 4 of those have been since I got laid off earlier this year.  Hope I can find something soon.

good luck to all the job seekers -- i have been fortunate to have a job
i have never been without except by my choice when in school, etc.  BUT i have never quit a job without another lined up and i have never been fired or laid off so I just don't know that experience at all, but I wish you all good luck finding what you need.

I usually have two or three jobs and worry when I am down to one because then I am dependant on the job and any quirks that management and owners may have.  I was down to just workmen's compensation four months ago and it took me six to eight weeks to find another job...one that I totally love.  At the time that I accepted three other offers came in!  I have over a year with this job plus workmen's compensation for another several months which allows me a little more liberty in looking for another job.

I've been out for three months now which actually feels like three years...........

i have never gone more than 2 months
without a job, and have been working since
i was 16. i'm 25 now...

my job recently hired a guy who called atleast
twice a week and came in occasionally to check
on the "status" of his application. everyone
seemed annoyed at first, but persistence works!
he was hired and so far, has been a reliable
employee.

just keep trying

hopefully my man will hear back from a job. i'm so tired of struggling but i dont worry myself to death coz i know somehow i can get the money to cover things.

[keissy2000]

yep i'm out of a job again, but i start a new one on the 17th watching new born twin boys at night.

The only time in my 50+ years that I was unemployed was just recently.  I was off for three months.  I found a much better job even though the pay is about 1/3 of what I was making.  I have so much less stress now, work closer to home and plenty of free time for fun things like FusionCash!

[Storm61115]

well i'm out of a job again. this job i started didnt work out and im back to square one.

I've been without a job for almost 3 years... by choice.  I retired after 27 years in the Air Force and had to make a decision.  Get another job and make lots of money, or stay retired and get by OK... I chose the latter.  And despite being a bit short of cash every once in a while, I'm happy about my decision.  I may be a bit poorer, but I'm a lot more sane.
