are you wearing nice pants and a shirt and tie when you go in? Is your resume up to date, professional and accurate? Are you applying to places, then calling back ~1 week later to check status of application and show interest? ---

do you look presentable? Are you enthusiastic about the job potential? Did you follow up after the interview? I honestly don’t know how you don’t have a job. When I was your age I was never unemployed for more than a few weeks. Be assertive and respectable and you shouldn’t have any problems EDIT: you’re doing something wrong ---

Then I had 45 days of not working, and i really needed that break from what i was doing. I then immediately got back into work, and i will never lose this job unless I leave and even that would be hard to do. ---

I am not trying to be a dick here. But, how can you not find a job. Are you picky? Open a newspaper or drive around. People are always desperate for dishwashers, servers, stockboys, sales… Jesus… Go to tops, wegmans, lasertron, fast food joints, the mall… Jobs are EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME. ---
