Looking for work.....

Looking for work in this day, is so much harder than say just five or ten years ago. In that time, you were able to walk into the company you would like to work for and ask for an application to obtain work. Now, if you try and do that, they tell you, to apply you must do it online. I have had some good experiences looking for work online, but I have also had some bad ones. The stay at home thing, is not worth it,  I know based on experience with that one too, I see it this way, "why are you going to pay, to start working"? I just don't get it, a lot of it is just a waste of time. I'm hoping to obtain a good job soon, but it is going to take a lot of looking and not just settling for the first "we would like to talk to you about work", I get a lot of that. Thanks for reading my rant for the day. LOL
