Answer :

Don’t accept “people aren’t hiring” as an answer. People are hiring, they just haven’t hired you yet.. Check Craigslist, newspaper ads, monster.com or anyplace else you think might have relevant job posting information. Also see about getting a reference and/or recommendation from your last job if you haven’t already. These days, you need more than just an application to get a job. If you aren’t getting hired, you might consider talking to your father about how you are going about looking for work and perhaps ask him for resume tips and interview advice.
