My husband and I have been looking for jobs? What do I do?

We used to own our own business, sold it and our new venture doesn't look like it can support us for awhile. I've been getting lots of interviews and job offers, he hasn't gotten any response except a former employer who may/may not have a job for him in the near future. He is not feeling too great right now, he is frustrated and doesn't understand why he isn't hearing anything and I am getting the opportunities. How do I make it better for him, it is difficult to watch him go through this. I believe he will get something, but his skills are different and he has a degree (I don't have a degree, but an extensive background in managing people and offices). His degree isn't really directly related to what he's done. Any suggestions? It's breaking my heart (he's 37yrs. old and has struggled before) He won't just apply for anything either.

I would suggest to you that you be supportive in his efforts and try to help him the best you can. Its not easy when both are unemployed or the income isn't enough type pressure and Men handle these things differently, we still have that little gene that says were a failure if we can't provide kind of thing, so don't worry and be there for him, hes vulnerable and unsure and scared all rolled into one.
Reply:what do you do? this is the time that is ----stand by your man.
Reply:just take a job and work until you find a better one!
Reply:A little sugar can go a long way. You don't have to coddle him and bake him a cake for him to know you support him. A little kiss, a little look, a little kick in the pants once in a while, he'll know you care.





At the same time, he's 37 and struggled before, watch out for a lifetime of this. He may be a lane-changer, so, be prepared to change lanes many many more times.





Good luck.
Reply:Have him go to a professional to tweak his resume, sometimes that is all it takes. Good luck......
Reply:First, tailor your husbands resume to fit the job he is applying for. Second, LIE. I know it sounds unscrupulous, but so is the business world. If you were self employed, an employer can only verify the existence of the business and the rest is selling himself. When it is said that employees should put forth 100% or more, here is what they mean:





a=1, b=2, c=3, d=4.......z=26.





B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T


%26gt; 2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%





A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E


%26gt; 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%











Good luck!
Reply:Y U got so many jobs offer? why degree holder likes non graduate?
Reply:he needs to go to social services. after he decides to apply for something and help himself. he needs to stop being lazy. he would get the opportunities i he looked for them.
Reply:You can start your own web site but what you put on there its up to you ;)
Reply:Maybe thats his problems he is being picky. He is either feeling out applications where he is over qualified or not qualified enough. If the degree is not helping he should use the same info your using to get a job since he was part owner too. Or he should look for jobs where they can see he's smart and a jack of all trades. Tell him sometimes he has to take what he can until he can get something better. He can even take something part time to free his time to find something else. He also might just need to change his resume to fit the job he wants, as long as knows he can handle the job. I fixed my resume to get get the job I wanted and after proving myself that I could be a jack of all trades they love me. And I really had no experience except working for personel friends.
