desilo@sbcglobal.net | I just graduated from college and am having trouble finding a job! What should I do? |
I am a single mother of two. I currently am living with my boyfriend and I am not happy. I want to break up but I am afraid I will not be able to find a job fast enough to be able to support myself and my two children. It is not a good relationship but I am just so afraid. Is there any help other than government help. I am the first person in my family to graduate from college and so I know I have the skills, I just really need a Social Work job! I recently started selling tupperware but it's not paying the bills! |

You don't say if your degree is in social work or not. If it is then you should easily be able to get a job in social work. If your degree is in an other field it will be more difficult, but not impossible to get a job in the human services. You might look at work with children or the elderly (as these are the jobs with many more entry level positions. You might also consider going on for an MSW and looking for a school that has a title 4E program (which provides full stipends for doing child welfare work).
As for leaving your boyfriend if it is really bad you might look into becoming a client in the social services sector. You might get them to pay for more education. DA |

Try applying to the county health centers around where you live. They always could use a good social worker.
Good luck! |

You can go to a job agency (Head Hunters) and they can help you find a job. Their job is to find you a job. Its free to you and they get paid by the employer. |

Unfortunately, there are no easy answers to your question. With two dependents already, you are in a bind, as you can't just pick up and leave without planning. Only other help than Gov't is two kinds - Church, and another man. Well, and yourself. But that requires that you be skilled, have experience you can definitely promote into a job, and take some risks....all of which it seems you CAN'T do right now.
So, what to do? You didn't say what your college degree was. I hope it wasn't Art/History major, not much call for THAT in the work force. You may need to work part time to build job experience. You might consider finding a company with the jobs you want, and see if you can "volunteer" a few hours a week to get experience and free learning, free of charge. If they like you and your work, it might morph into a job. Worth a shot. Good luck! |

Right now, you do not need the perfect job. You just need any job that will pay enough money for you to get out of this relationship. Think in those terms. Get a job as a secretary, or work in a retail store, or work construction if you can, or whatever. It doesn't have to be in social work, and it doesn't mean you will stop looking for a social work job. It is just money, and that's what you need.
And don't limit yourself to jobs in your own area. You are going to break up with your boyfriend anyway, right? What better excuse could there be than to say that you have to move out because your new job is too far away?
So, look for any job you can, and get yourself free. Then, after you are stable for a few months, you can go back to looking for a job in your field.
You have a tough road ahead, but it's not as hard as what you are already doing: raising two kids. Good luck!! |

Work on a cover letter and resume. Determine what kind of job you're looking for specifically (what kind of social work). Tell your friends and family that you're looking for a job. (The easiest way to get a new job is through someone you already know.) Make a list of possible employers, call them up, and send them your cover letter and resume. Also, craigslist.org is pretty reliable for job listings.
If you're having trouble paying your bills, temp agencies are a good place to start, and may even lead to a permanent job.
In regards to your boyfriend and supporting your kids, it might be best to seek support from family members. |

Fully Aware
|
If you applied at certain social work places, then you would have to wait till they call you. If you have not, then you probably should start. Also, don't just check with the places near you. Go everywhere you possibly can. You got a better chance that way. Also, most people are not working in their field of choice, so don't worry about not being in the field you studied for. It's normal. Look for a job where you can, just so you can have money to live off with your kids.
As for being with your boyfriend, just leave. He's not making you happy, there is no need to keep him. Or wait till you find a job and feel secure enough to leave him. Don't be afraid, you'll only make things worse for yourself without even realizing it... |

You need to ask around of your family and friends to see if somebody can put you up. Until then, just keep applying for jobs. Ask them what skills you are lacking that they're looking for. You could also take up with a temp agency and let them know what you would like to do full-time and see if they can place you in a temp position in the field of your choice. That often leads to landing a full-time permanent job, because it gives you a chance to prove yourself. Also, do NOT mention your children until you have gotten the job. You are not required to tell them ANYTHING about your personal life, even if they ask it (it's against the law). Good luck. |
