What does it take to get a State job (any job) in Georgia?

A nice lady suggested I look into State jobs...In the past 6 years, I have applied for 46 jobs (it seemed like there were more...one loses track). Out of those 46 jobs I think I got three interviews.

I must have applied for at least 200 hundred other jobs, ranging from no degree required or HS/GED.

Every day, I visit the State Jobs Site, the Georgia Department of Labor Site, Craigslist, and individual agency/company/industry sites...I use the newspaper want ads, I exhausted my contacts a long time ago...I use the Fed's Site...Monster, Career yadda yadda yadda...when I had a car I looked for signs in windows... It is certainly not for trying that I haven't found a job. The economy sucks, people are continuing to move out of the area, teachers are being let go, businesses are closing at a accelerated rate. I am waiting for the big black dust clouds to start blowing in.

I just feel like listing the 46 State jobs I have applied for, for fun.
They keep a list of them just to let you know what a big loser you are.

Note: Below are State of Georgia jobs for which you have applied in the past. The applications having the Screening Type of Resume Review, although in history, are still available to State agency recruiters for consideration and review. In contrast, the applications for the Screening Types of both Qualifications Assessment and Scored Evaluation are not available to recruiters as the evaluation or score has expired.

My Jobs History list contains 46 job(s).

What a horrible list :-(
and a horrible situation. Elaine's right - bless you.
I hope we hear good news from you soon.

Mo, the state flys those jobs even when they aren't hiring. If they are empty and not flown that position disappears. So every department wants to have as many positions possible when the economy is good again.

In California, it takes about 7 years to get hired in a GOOD economy.
