Hello all!

I'm sorry for coming again for advice, but I feel really lost right now.

I was unemployed for well over a year since completing my degree. At that time a job, any job, was all I could hope for... when I first started working it was like a dream come true, was really motivated and even enjoy it. Now it's been 6 months and last week a friend of mine informed me her cousin was dealing with hiring new people at company he works for, and asked for my CV. I readily sent it and since then the thought of quiting my job has been haunting me. And somehow I feel excited about it.
Today I had a meeting with my manager, just normal procedure around here, to let them know our concerns and how they can improve their support to us. And I exploded, everything that has been kept inside these last months came out. And now I cannot stop crying because I feel so overwhelmed by my own emotions and by how I endured so long without even realizing I actually hate my job.

I'm afraid of being unemployed again, of waiting for another long year or so to find something, and I have bills to pay.

So, really.. can someone pull some cards?

If I quit would I be able to find something else soon? Should I stay a bit more to see if things improve?

I really hate my job..

I say no. Don't quit. I don't you getting something else soon. Yes, the job is heartbreaking for you and you feel like its a waste of time but I say so wait a little longer. A few months.

Hi,
I do not know your financial picture. Do not quit until youget a new job. One guy I know did and it took over 2 years to get one. Good luck.

Hi I pulled a few cards for you
I asked if you quit your job would you find a new one soon and got:
Woman, lily and whip

this looks like a no to me especially with the whip in there. You can choose to do whatever you think is best for your life though! I would suggest beefing up your resume, stay at you current job get some letters of recommendation from people who think you're a great worker and then go out and apply to places that you actually want to work at. It's a lot easier to get a new job while you are still working.

Thank you all, for your kind words and for the readings. I truly appreaciate it.

I was feeling so frustrated, but now it's better. Yes, I might rush into something I'll regret, so better endure it until something else comes along!
