The Job Hunt Continues

Why is it that employers complain that "no one wants to work" or that everyone who applies "doesnt fit the need" or my favorite, "everyone is to qualified and will just leave"

There have been numerous job interviews, call backs and applications filled out on my part. Most of the stores on-line say how many of the positions they need filled. Why is it that some companies have had over 4 spots open for over 5 months and yet I am still not good enough to train. How hard is it to see that I am a college student who lives in town, and has 5 semesters left? Granted, I do not tell them I am leaving shortly for my abroad studies, so I look very appealing.

So why is it jobs wont take the time to train an employee or even to speak with the applicant? I dont want a crazy wage, heck minimum wage would be awesome currently since i have no income. I dont need time off, i would love to work weekends and cover shifts and no matter what they say about how I dont have customer service..I just dont get it. I work in the food industry, tell me how I do not deal with customers, granted Im not telling them that those jeans make you look thinner or that shirt makes their eyes pop..if I can up sell someone's dinner tick by $50, wy couldnt I talk them in to accessories or a better brand of jeans or even a cute shirt to match their new jeans. I am starting to think that companies have become lazy.They no longer invest in an employee, they dont see how much training could help their bottom dollar and I now realize why some places have such a high turnover.

So what does this mean for me? Well, it means that I will be going on more interviews and filling out a countless number of applications till I can find that company that is willing to train, willing to see my potential and willing to give someone a chance. So, if anyone knows of a job in Stillwater or Oklahoma City Metro, please let me know! I have become a pro at filling out applications and answering the same questions at interview, it just seems that none of my experience is where the jobs are at, or when I do find a job in my industry, it seems I am to good for them in their eyes.

Well, I am now off to do some more homework, work on the Gold Canyon Review and Giveaway, so I can maybe get it up tomorrow or in the next couple of days! Also, remember to enter the giveaways!
