Is there actually hope??? A little bit??? Could it be that things might actually turn around for us, finally?

I applied online for a job at Toys'R'Us earlier, fulltime, and half an hour later they called (!) and invited me to an interview tomorrow morning! I am sooo nervous!

I'm especially worried about my scars, and especially the fresh ones, they are huge and go all the way to my hands, so it's going to be hard to hide them.

I so hope I get this job. We so desperately need it.

Congratulations!! I'm sure some of us on the forum here--particular cutters or former cutters--can come up with some ways to hide the scars,

Well, it's over, and now I can't do anything but wait. Nervewracking!! I think I did really well, but who knows. I'm sitting here replaying the whole interview over and over, wondering if I messed up this or that.

It was a block interview, and there were five of us, myself, another girl, and three guys. Only the other girl and myself made it to the second phase of the interview. None of the guys made it.

Now I have to wait, she said she'll either call or email me either by the end of today, or the end of the week.

There is one more phase to the hiring process, a 6 hour training. So if I get picked for that, then after those 6 hours they'll decide if they keep me or not.

I really wish this was over already. And I got the job.

Kudos to you for making it that far - they clearly see your potential The adrenaline will carry you through the rest and it'll be over before you even know it. Again i wish you the very best, i know how much you deserve this!

i think of what a good impression you made on the Dog-Walking Company you worked for ... what a terrific employee Toys'RUs would be getting!
PleasePleasePlease ... all toes and fingers crossed for you!! ... Prayers said and fairy dust tossed toward garden gnomes.

Felicidades, Salud, Mazel Tov, and of course, Congratulations whenwillitend! I am glad you posted about the hope that exists. Sometimes it is hard for us to remember to hold onto even a sliver of hope. I am very happy for you my friend. I hope your interview is a smash hit and you are at home in your new workplace. What better place to work than Toys 'R' Us, a dream job for every kid at heart. Again, congratulations. Yours truly, Lightbulb7 edit lol, I see your post about getting the job now, I didn't read the replies before mine; even more congratulations and kudos my friend

Go girl!!!!

That is AWESOME NEWS!!!!!! And I envy where you're working; I've always wanted to work at Toys R Us, it seems like it'd be such a fun job.

You are a bright shining example to those of us who have lost hope or are looking for the hope we once had.

Congrats, we're so proud of you!!!
