problems finding a job in michigan?
Asked by smooth3006
ive been un-employed for almost 5 months. ive been denied unemployment benefits twice already, because they say i quit my job of 8 years when i didn't. i used to live in macomb county, michigan. i moved over to grand rapids, mi. in december. i must of sent out, faxed and mailed over 60 resumes. ive only had a handfull of interviews so far. still nothing concrete and ive been turned down countless times already. im a mechanical / facilities maintenance tech for the last 10 years. i have plenty of hands on knowledge, but no degree in anything specific. im starting to get really concerned here and i don't know what the problem is. the one thing im most worried about is what my previous employer might be saying about me as we disagree about me quitting when i didn't . ive been as honest as i can about my prior work experiences and my qualifications. what do they look at in a pre-employment process. i had 2 interviews with the same company and went on a day in the field and was turned down. i have sent resumes out on careerbuilder, monster... etc. and no my former job probably wouldn't hire me back and besides i live in grand rapids now. im also am already on the michigan talent bank job search website. trust me ive done it all, still with no luck.
