Job Search Blues

Man, I have been stuck in a bad luck slump as far as jobs go this year. Since school started I have been searching for a job, but to no avail. I don't get it. Calgary is supposed to be having a labor shortage and hiring signs are everywhere - yet no one is hiring. I've applied at a few places that either never called me back or I ended up being "under qualified" which is what happens when every single job requires some kind of degree, certificate, or diplomna. I swear, even tim hortons is only hiring skilled professionals (ok, slight exageration). It's so frustrating. The most recent experience really bummed me out. I applied to work at curves fitness. They advertised for students and fitness enthusiasts interested in promoting a healthy lifestyle for women. Yeah, I can definitely do that! And I have tonnes of experience in the area of fitness. The first lady who interviewed me was exstatic that I applied. "This is great! We need people to work and your availability is perfect! Expect a call in the next 24 hours to set up a training schedule!" In the bag right? NO. "You just have to meet the owner." And so I did that. Early Saturday morning I put on my best and went to meet the owner. Her reaction was exactly opposite of the manager's. She seemed to have some isse with my age, as though she didn't believe i am 20. Then she kept putting her hand on her forehead and saying "i don't know. I just don't know". She asked me the usual interview questions "what can you bring to this company?" etc. and i answered pretty well. She keeps saying how she's looking for someone to open up at 6:30 in the morning once or twice a month, and I told her I could do that but i have school at 9 - 11 so i would either have to leave early or come later in the afternoon. She says what about this day at this time? And keeps picking times when I already told her I had school, and my availablility had been written down already. Finally she makes a tentative training schedule and acts like it was the biggest hassle in her life. I felt like telling her not to worry about it right then and there and I'd just look elsewhere. Sure enough she calls later that morning and says don't bother coming because your availability is bad. Bitch. Since when is afternoon and evening availability bad? I could have put more than 20 hours a week into it as a part time employee. Anyways, my hopes were crushed. And now I'm back to square 1. My mom told me not to worry about it because I shouldn't work for a bag like that, and she was definitely a BAG AND A HALF... maybe a bag filled with steaming cracases of the dreams of young girls. My sister said she was probably bitter because she was overweight and thopught that an in shape girl would just make the women depressed and not motivated, hahaha (just slightly egotisticle). SO now I've applied to a health food store where both my cousin and my sister work (at least i have good referals right?). I'm jsut totally unmotivated and jobbed out. I wish i could write the real reason for why I want to work for this company on the application forms: "I just need money and will work anywhere doing anything to get it." Originally my purpose was to find a job that i could get valuable experience at as well (eg. reasearch company, lululemon?, fitness place) but now I've come to the point where i don't care about the experience anymore, i just want to make money so I'm not scraping pennies from my piggybank and avoiding having fun that costs more than 50 cents. When will it end?
