Very well...
Please Father God help "new user" find or receive word of a job or be offered a job in Jesus's holy name I humbly pray,AMEN.
One of the ways that we help people here is to ask them what they are doing to help their situations. Not that they have to do it on their own, but that they are at least doing their parts.
Do what is in your power to do, and let us pray that God will take care of the rest.
Thanks for sharing, newuser. I know how difficult it must be for you without a job. Please know that I’ll be praying for you, asking the Lord to bless you with a good job, provide for all your needs, and take care of everything that concerns you. Remember that He cares about every detail of your life. May He be your provider and sustainer in many tangible ways. Blessings to you!
Newuser, I understand where you're coming from to some extent. I was unemployed from end of February 2009 to beginning of April 2012. I applied nearly everywhere myself and wondered if something would "break open" for me. God was with me the whole way, even during times when I felt as if He wasn't there.
I had been laid off from a CAD job at a civil engineering firm and my next job after that long unemployment period was at a mail processing facility. I took it because I knew I could use my transferrable skills and I could get a decent income. I have a different job now (CAD again), but the mail job kept a roof over my head and food in my stomach.
Don't dismiss what we are trying to do for you. Christian love is tough sometimes.

Guess the OP doesn't want a job bad enough
Sorry for the snark, but I'm a little annoyed with people who come here to ask for help and then want to argue five ways to Sunday about the advice we're giving and the questions we're asking.
God never commanded us to "play nice" and tell people what they want to hear. He told us to love, and love is tough sometimes.
That's my $0.04 (two cents doubled)

10% of jobs are found through want ads in the paper. 5% of jobs are found by walking into the right place at the right time. The rest of the jobs are found by word-of-mouth. Networking.
Talk to friends and family. Talk to people you used to work with. Ask them if they've heard anything. Ask them to ask their friends and family for you. Talk up "I need a job." Tell people about what you can do in general words, not job title words. (I'm good at selling products and services. I'm good at organizing an office. I'm good at talking to customers on the phone. Not I'm an office manager or I'm a sales person.)
Whatever your field of expertise is assume there is an association for those kinds of people, and join it. Become active in it. Go to meetings, and talk to the people before and after, but don't say, "I need a job." Let them get to know you first. Show them you have something to offer. Knowledge in that area. Ideas. Something that will help them.
That's how to find a good job.
