The biggest trap in the workforce (especially I.T.) is to think “I don’t need to get certified like everyone else cuz I worked here a long time!” Eventually they’ll let you go because you aren’t certified-GET CERTIFIED.

Uber was a life-saver for one my brothers between jobs, and a friend who was over 50 and facing a lot of ageism in interviews. The friend eventually got a very good job but it took like three years. Go hustle and keep looking for something better. The longer you sit at home feeling sorry for yourself, the more apt you are to fall into depression and negativity and even illness. Idle hands is truly an unhealthy thing for mind and body.

A layoff is the best excuse to get revenge and do better. I struggled for a while with how to phrase that, but Dave put it so beautifully. I lived that just over a year and a half ago, let go from a job due to the tantrums of a vindictive co-worker. The rejection was painful, but I picked myself up, started making more money with greater flexibility and got out of debt faster. Looking back, I couldn't be more grateful now. Although it didn't feel like it at the time, they did me the biggest favor anyone could. Now we're debt-free, have more money in savings than we ever have in our entire life, and are getting closer every day to being fully self employed and in compete control of our financial destiny. What a blessing!

2 months? I was unemployed for 8 months straight.

He should apply for unemployment. Visit the local workforce commission they help people in his shoes and sometimes even help you pay for those certifications.

2 months is nothing if you work in a professional setting. I was downsized after two decades at a company and was out of work for six months. I did hit a summer hiring slump, but it takes a couple months to at least get through most hiring processes at larger companies.

This is why unemployment figures don't mean much - people who are still out of work fall off the data after awhile. And some people are working 2 or more jobs to make close to what they used to make in 1

This is the hottest job market only for the low end jobs. 10 to 15hr you can find relatively easily. Good luck living on that. For the respectable paying jobs (55k +) its an abysmal market. This side hussle movement is a way to make up for denied money, from taking pay cuts due to layoffs. People have to do them because people can no longer make ends meet. There are too many people for the jobs. You would have to swing from accountant/marketing, to electrician to make equal or better money. People arent going to do that.

Dave's summary rings so true. 15 years ago everyone in my office was laid off. After having trouble finding an equivalent job, I started my own business.

Today I make about 3 times what I'd be making had I continued to climb someone else's corporate ladder. I also own a business that I'll be able to sell for the equivalent of 5 years salary. Getting laid off was the best thing that ever happened to me.

Im a welder with 3 years of experience and it took me 4 days from calling to applying to signing and offer to get a new job making $25 an hour with full benefits and retirement when I lost interest in the previous job. Work is easy to find if you have marketable skills.

Sometimes you have to take the best of the worst jobs available.

I think the girl just felt a little nervous giving out all the details that's understandable. But it's a little bit of unwarranted outrage by Dave. Two months to find a job isn't that long. I mean I get it it sounds like it might be another two months before we get something but Dave's initial reaction to two months was kind of exaggerated

@@AnaMT1985 yeah you're right, maybe outrage is too strong of a word is just what I picked on the fly. His tone of voice and his implication that the guy is lazy or something just seemed unproductive so early in the conversation. anyway maybe I commented too early, cuz he balanced that out later by talking about the reason he needs to get a job fast, because he's been knocked down and his pride is low, and the longer you wait the more you sink into that hole. But his initial reaction seemed premature to me... Maybe my comment was premature and I should have just deleted it

@stan_sprinkle, I agree. He'd probably flip out that not only am I paying off my student loans, my husband and I are also able to travel. live in South Korea. But this is a once in a life opportunity and once we get student loans paid off, it will be going towards our savings. My husband and I have a baby emergency fund that we put a little bit of money towards each month.

People think staying at a place long is always the right thing to do regardless of money. You have to constantly be on the lookout for advancement and more money. People just have no ambition. Go out and be resourceful and dont stop until you get more $. The days of employers taking care of you just because you have been there long, are over.

Knocked out of the saddle 🤣🤣🤣 I love Dave Ramsey!!!!

This family needs to come up with a long term plan. They have a disabled child and are living in poverty. Their situation in untenable. Both adults should be highly motivated by their circumstances to devise a plan to earn more income.

Mary Kay is an MLM scam though xp

Have a system going as his wife. 1. A resume and cover letter must be updated and printed. 2. Keep track of job listings, calls, interviews, and follow-ups. Send thank you cards after the interview. AND if you get called into an interview bring some store-bought cookies! Team up, you can do this together!

lol, when i worked at mcdonalds it took me 2 YEARS to find another job. I would have applied for hundreds of jobs in that time, barely got interviews, and only got my job because dad worked at the same company. Dave is out of touch if he thinks 2 months is a long time.

Where do you live that you can't replace McDonalds?

When you mention the job market you have to mention what kind of jobs are available and what they require. Most jobs available right now have horrible salary and benefits. I'm looking for something right now because my company is going under. I realized very quickly that similar positions offer way less.

Haven't found a job in 2 months, try 1 year.

Mary Kay is an MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) company. There are videos about scams like it.

During the Great Recession it took some people in finance and construction 18 months to find livable work again!

Omg! I needed this word today. We were told this morning, we might be getting laid off. I was a little nervous but inside of me I feel peace because not only do I have God on my side but I have been debt free for 1 year. This will be my opportunity to make a lot more money. 💓

Good luck to you!

I left a career after over 20 years and had to go back to school and find a different career. BEST thing that ever happened to me.

I live in Cincinnati and Dave is 100% right. If you can't find a job here it's because you're not trying. He could get 20hr at most warehouses around this place. If I lost my job I'd have another one is a week in the same field. And I'm not sure what y'all taking about... finding a new company to work for is how most people get raises around here.

My husband and I are about to go through this same thing. His position is being eliminated in about 6 weeks after he's been there 11 years. I really just want to pay off debt to get rid of more monthly payments but better save at this point

Most jobs don't pay much these days. Most pay only 15 ph it seems.

Unemployment??? Use your head!! Get on disability buddy. 5K a month don't hurt

I just landed a job. It took 6 months. I've been working my current job while I've been applying, so I was never jibless. But I sent out applications every single day before work and after work. I've sent out over 100 applications. Everything I could find, checked every single day if there was something new I could apply to. Registered with recruitment companies. And. It. Took. 6 months. Finding work nowadays is just not that easy. There are SO many people applying for jobs everyday. And for every job you think you're qualified for, there are 30 applicants that are too and then some. I got invited to one interview in 6 months. ONE. I can be extremely charismatic and convincing at interviews, which is why I got the job once I had the interview. But my god was it a terrible, long, drawn out process. I got the offer today, am so thankful! But no, 2 months is not a long time to find a new job

2 months. That’s cute. With courses, it took me 2 years to establish a new career. Thank God my girlfriend was super supportive the whole time (and I had some learned skills that kept me afloat)

Well, he is talking about any sort of job, not the ideal job, and certainly not a "career." I think what Dave is referring to is any sort of non-contract work that brings in money. I'm glad you have such a supportive girlfriend. :)

Well put Dave!!!!

What is this 20min job that isn’t minimum wage ?

Sounds like one of my sister's husband who hasn't had a job and then when he does, he somehow gets hurt and quits the job. Total bum. I avoid most of my family members since they'd just ask me for money and make fun of me because I didn't follow the same stupid path as them.

The perfect job might take longer but to Daves point, any job is better than none. And yes, every opportunity to improve is an opportunity, his point might be, do not be lazy, and go after it! And for those that have a job, seek to improve and prepare for the opportunity, isn't Dave that says that all of us will leave our job one day. ;) Wisdom, for free!

Man... If only I would have taken time when life was good to prepare for when life is bad.

Many companies have cert reimbersment programs too. Take advantage of that.

Hustle grind, Hustle Grind!!!

The reason why a lot of people don't find a job is because they are either overqualified or have no experience in the fields they apply for. I knew a lady once who was working as a janitor and she had a master's degree. You're not going to tell me that's not been overqualified, are you? So yeah, there is such a thing as been overqualified.

@Meira750

4 жыл бұрын

Then why didn't I get hired for similar jobs when I was told I was "overqualified?" What was actually going on? I don't believe I was. I was willing to do anything legal after my divorce to feed and shelter me and my child. When asked "why do you want THIS job?" that's exactly what I told them.

You can get a job in a restaurant in a matter of days. You don't have to tell the managers that you have a degree and tons of experience. You don't have to put down that you are currently at McDonalds on your resume for your "real" job. Being out of work is mentally disabling for most people - and most people get jobs whilst in another job. The income needs to be continuous, even something to pay for food and utils. Being under-employed is better than unemployed if you want food on the table. Customize your resume for every job you go for.

Dave doesn't understand the dynamics of job loss. He would rather this guy give up his unemployment to take a minimum wage job that distracts him from his job search. He'll get something but it will probably be around the 3 month of looking time frame.

2 months is not a long time, especially for someone that would need to go through the interview process with multiple levels of an organization. First an interview with a recruiter / HR, then they need to interview all candidates, then they need to schedule interviews with the hiring manager, internal contacts for that position, etc. It can take weeks to even hear back, especially at large companies.
