Please help me!
I'm not use to asking for help. I actually hate doing it. I feel I should be the one helping those who are down on their luck. Yet I find that I've been trying to get a job in that area for the past 11 months. I've tried for hours everyday in any sort of job I felt I could possibly do and I'm either not qualified or the job is taken quickly by someone already working for the company in a different position.
I've done this before; asking for help with finding a job. I am in the extremes of dire need of a job in Grand Rapids. I'd take jobs that are close to Grand Rapids, as well. I've tried soo many places it's starting to become funny. If anyone has any leads on a full time job. I'd take just about any job I could get, that's legal, in the Grand Rapids area. A third shift job would be amazingly great, if possible.

Yes, I am in I.T.. Yet, I've not found many jobs for which I qualify. My computer service tech certification helps as much as a A+ cert. Though as far as I've heard from most other techs, one really needs a network+, security+, mcms, and/or cisco certification in order to get any type of response from most I.T. positions. It makes me feel as though the time I spent on the certification is not time and money well spent. The last tech job I tried for was IBM. They were interested in me for a month and then they moved on.

If you are looking to stay in the same feild, you may be screwed. I don't know a lot about IT, but it seems like a lot of people are either getting out or just getting out of Michigan. If you are truly looking for "any job", as long as its legal...let me pose you this question...
Have you looked into the Healthcare field? I am personally biased, but I know there are several non-liscenced hospital jobs that pay very well. Not everyone is capable of working with sick people, but there is an idea. It's what I did when my chips were down.

EDIT: And I checked out the area, you have two exceptional health centers in GR, they are DeVos Children's and Spectrum.

I've tried Spectrum. Everything from tech jobs to event facilitator to janitor, I'd gotten no response. Though when I said I needed a job and am willing to do just about any job, I ment it. I'll work 20 hours a day if need be just to see my son once a day, rather than once a week if I'm lucky.
Edit: I literally mean this. If it takes me 20 hours a day with no break of grueling, back-breaking work; I'll do it. I want to provide for my family, yet the area hasn't been very welcoming in the job area as of yet.

I just got a duplex in G.R.. I just signed the contract last week. I think I'm screwed.
Edit: I should say me and my girlfriend signed it. I'd been planning for months to buy her a ring. Yet, with the baby and the new place; I can't keep myself over negetive money with this part time job I can't get rid off an hours drive away from the place I'm paying for.
