Hopeless case
And you stick with it, because you are certainly too stupid to do something else.
Don't bother to comment back, I am not going to read your bitter nonsense.

Any newbies feel as hopeless as I do about landing their first job?

I have sent out hundreds of resumes, taken several online tests and have still not landed my first position yet. Office positions that I applied for were given to experienced MTs. Now I am running into problems with internet servers. I live in the country so the only option I have for internet services are dial-up and satellite. Satellite runs about $100 a month. Most of the at-home positions that are available require DSL or high speed. I live so far out that the phone company doesn't know when DSL will be available in our area. I need a break! Does anyone else feel the same?

RE: Any newbies feel as hopeless as I do about landing their first job?
Transcend now accepts satellite providers. This company may be an option for you if you haven't tried them yet.
