I have a job I don’t quite like and I’m shooting applications elsewhere. I work full time and I’m also looking for another job in my city that fits my qualifications. I cannot change states or move to another city, it is what it is.

So far I’ve sent 5 apps for positions that interest me: 2 have answered, one could offer me a different but similar job (position already filled) and the other one, while fitting what I majored in, means constant stress, plans that change constantly, even several times a day, a pay reduction and the last 2 who applied to do this quit in 4 and 6 months respectively.

At least they were honest during the interview, but I now feel depressed. I was hoping to work there and quit my current job.

    Apply for Civil Service jobs.

    You won’t get hired quickly, but the jobs come with great benefits and strong unions.

        I don’t know where you live, so I can only tell you what worked in my area.

        First, the local library. Near me the main branch has a Job Opportunity Center where they have listings for all the civil service jobs.

        The Chief-Leader is a New York City website/printed newspaper that has listings of all Civil Service jobs in the area.

        You can contact the state/province Department of Labor and see what they have.
