Good morning, everyone. :3

Sending care packages makes my heart feel all warm and fuzzy. But it makes my wallet feel very empty... whee

Does anyone know how I can possibly market myself in order to get a job?

This makes much sense to me now. ^_^

I've not needed a resume, since I was drafted by my father to work for his company. But I will need one if I am to get into the field I want. It's one of the required courses for College that I'm taking.

I have one, yeah. I think that's what making me people not hiring me because I don't have the proper background. If I were to stick with what I know, I'd be working at the hospital.

If you're applying for lots of different kinds of jobs, you may have to tailor your resume for each one, rather than just handing out the same blanket resume to each place.
Make sure to highlight the skills you have that they are looking for. Be specific, if you can.
I know that it's tough when you don't have much work experience, but try to provide a connection between your experiences and skills, and what they will need you to have as an employee.

*Sighs.* I feel like I'm one of those odd-ball people where they aren't specifically made for something.

I'm probably going to have to volunteer forever and live off my parents.

sweatdrop Most people aren't specifically made for a certain job. I certainly was not made to do the job I have now, but it works. *shrug*

It's so frustrating. My dad keeps telling me that I don't need to get a job. That's nice and all, but can I really stay away from job searches for the next 4-5 years when I go after my college education?

I also thing that's part of it: No one wants to hire me because I'm not educationally "qualified."

I mean, for heaven's sake, I saw a job ad that someone was wanting a sandwich maker (like Subway or Port of Subs) and they wanted someone with a year of experience. TO MAKE SANDWICHES! scream

I would side with you on this one. It's better to start work sooner than later, for experience. A lot of places will treat long-time volunteer work as experience, depending on the kind of volunteering it is.

Also, some places can be flexible. They may ask for a year experience, but that doesn't necessarily mean you shouldn't apply. It costs them time and/or money to train a new employee, so they want to make sure you're going to stay with them. Unfortunately, I've worked with people who start the job, get the training, and then just leave without giving any notice. It leaves everyone in a bind, and that's what a lot of employers are afraid of.

Huh. I didn't think I would ever be told that not joining the military and reaping its benefits is my fault, that I went back and forth too much. What a wonderful boyfriend I have. stare

You're still young. :s You can still enlist.

And unless you're just teasing him, do you really think it's a good idea to publicly bash him here?
