Well.... I got turned down to drive a forklift. It's been 9 yrs since I've driven one, so evidently that's too long.... I also got turned down for a warehouse supervisor job. Evidently "my story is too complex", whatever that means.
I sent my resume into 20 or so pharmaceutical and medical device sales agencies. I'm certified for both jobs.... But no sales experience.....
Studying for my on-line classes.... They don't start till next month, but I figure what the heck. I'm working on week 3's reading now......
It kills me that I didn't have the self control to keep my last job. I loved the work. I loved the people. The situations weren't always great, but they never are. If I had kept that job, I could have made $80k this year. Debts would have been paid off and I woulda been able to put money into savings. As it is, I'm emptying what little savings I have.
Ugh. This blows. I'm overqualified for most jobs so they don't think I'll stay. I'm evidently under qualified for the jobs that would suit me. I can't seem to get any traction on jobs I am qualified for.
I also found out that the VA job went to someone else..... Big scary guy gets passed over again.
