Over six months after my high school graduation and I'm yet to find a job and I'm still unemployed. It feels like I've looked and search everywhere but still it seems like I'm looking in all the wrong places. I've tried the newspaper, walk-ins, phone calls, even various online job websites. I found Career.VI the "Virgin Island's leading job search website". Even though I haven't found a job as yet, Career.VI gives me a sense of hope and makes me feel like the tides will change and the best is yet to come.
