Trying to Help my GF

<p>My GF is looking for a job in the marketing field. Right now she lives at her parents house, and has been looking for a job since the beginning of January. She has gotten only 2 interviews, one with a car dealership, which she really doesn't want to take because of low pay and commission. The other she really wants, but they haven't responded back after the initial interview. A really big concern of mine is her parents. Her mother keeps telling her, almost every day, that she should be looking for a job, and/or should have one by now. She HAS been looking every day, sometimes even right in front of her mother. Her mom is making it extremely difficult for her to barely think half the time, let alone get a job without the pressure every single day. Tiny background on the parents though, her mom has never worked a single day in her life. She is a gigantic alcoholic, and has hit my GF in the past. Her father is a pushover that lets the mom basically run the household, even though she pays for nothing. So, my GF, all her life, has been trying to prove her parents wrong and all that. So back to the present day. Her mom has control of all the bills and the money that her dad makes. Shes threatening to take my GF's car away and all that. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do from my standpoint? I'm trying to help her look for jobs through online sites. I feel that's the best I can do atm. My GF is about to have a mental breakdown if her parents keep up the stuff that they have been doing. </p>

<p>Thanks everyone

<p>When it comes to things like this, you have to be willing to take on any job even if it’s low pay. Also, you have to teach her the basic concepts of applying for a job. Once the employer receives your resume, follow up after 3 days asking if they are hiring and would like to interview her. If she gets an interview, follow up after 2-3 days. The key is to follow up and to stand out. Make the employer notice you and don’t slack off. It’s easy to prove your parents wrong. Just work hard, be consistent, and do your best. Look everywhere for jobs: online, at the local market, plaza, movie theater, etc. Step it up a notch and keep trying :)</p>
