I haven't been in here lately. I still need prayers for myself been great that my coworkers welcome me back ever since that insurance job let me go, still hate the fact that my pay is part time. I am looking for something on campus may take a risk and apply to a position on campus see where it takes me. However, I am looking at nonprofit jobs but still aren't sure what to apply for as I am looking to work with business clients similar to previous job. I find that call center jobs put way too much pressure on employees and fire them whenever they wish!

I got my money where I want it well just about there if I had more pay. I was hoping to make plans to move but that other job let me go. Embarrassing still at home as an adult yet my career still can't seem to pick up! I am so miserable I have nowhere else to go and my pay is still not enough to afford anything on my own. I need a job that isn't gonna be so quick to let me go because of not fulfilling what they want.

I still haven't felt alive or happy as my time is solely focused on a career and making more money. I don't have time to waste to sit around; so exhausted physically and mentally when the hell is this gonna end?! I thought it ended with previous job.

My prayers are still to find a job who provides training and will be happy to learn a new field even if it isn't IT. I am just tired of the IT field ****ing me around and too much time has been wasted - I am taking a risk in my career to look elsewhere and try something new. I have not given up my freedom on moving somewhere else and the resolve is still strong as ever if I could get another job asap that'd be ideal however I want to be careful with the next set of employers still gauging as to how their expectations are for employees. At my job, just stressful too many problems coverage problem always on call hate that and hate working at nights I want something simplistic in my next job.

Skill wise I still need improvement that's another prayer for me too. Hate how the job process is beyond slow like ever before. I still have confidence and self esteem issues that needs to be raised I still feel stupid at times in interviews because I still never had the experience they are looking for but I need to wow them in other ways. So tired of the bs in interviews, the pompous rudeness I have endured from employers and the idiot recruiters who have no idea what they are doing.

Another prayer is since I am still part time I am gonna be struggling to pay my car insurance next month plus I gotta pay my registration and possibly emissions testing for the car on top of paying for gas. What the hell does this mean in the end? Too many struggles and zero help in my life yet others have had help which is not fair. Why am I the one who is doing all the work? It still pains me that I am on my own still have the crying days. I am not sure if this is preparing me to close this abusive chapter in my life and open something up with a brand new power that may be possible.

Anyway, please pray for me. Hopefully, some light will brighten for me and I can start implementing my plans even quicker this is about my happiness; happiness I never had the luxury to enjoy and use. I want to go up in pay not down!

Enter all job interviews with no expectations, good or bad. Never prejudge those who interview you. Just be objective and observant. Save the judgments, for after you leave the interview. You will do well as an result.

True. I just don't get super excited about these interviews too much of a cat and mouse game so much time wasted. Too much talk not enough action too many false promises. I judge after the interview is over when I get to my car. I feel like I still can't answer the hard questions there are questions I can't answer due to not having the experience.

Thanks JD. I still feel like a lot of things out there are telling me no, why am I still waiting? Why does being miserable still gotta be in the way? I thought I had my first break when I was with the previous job but I guess not. There's still too much waiting everywhere...

Just so depressed!

I got a job interview next Wednesday. I'm happy it's with the state my coworker said I have something in me that's powerful to be used and it does need to be used. I've had strangers tell me I will have an awesome career never said in what but I will be big one day. I need an employer who will value me and keep me for the long run.

I had the interview yesterday morning. It was odd 10 questions felt like half of them were more supervisory and revenue type too much action oriented questions for me. I was told it'll take 6 to 8 weeks or shorter to hire it's a state job. I've been online looking at jobs my goal is to keep the interviewing short 90 days not like before over 35 interviews in a year! Pray the interviewing will be 90 days and shorter

Didn't realize I got a response. I had the interview it was a huge success, manager is very pleased plus it was a conversational interview not the interrogating type! I was suppose to hear back on Friday no response maybe Tues? Who knows. I am still getting "offers" from other places still nothing I would accept since they are mostly contract with god knows what kind of hope is behind it! This interview was for a private education company working with high school students but it is a tech support position.

I am still applying even if they do want to hire me and if they do, I will accept the position as I can't keep waiting. This Aug will be 2 yrs of job searching and I already made it to my 2 yrs with my current employer. One recruiter from another company wants to "get me on board for full time" heard that line so many times with no results. I told him I am not wishing upon a star, I want to see results why am I still being told to wait? If I am so perfect according to paper, then let's move forward qualified okay sign the HR papers and let's move your life forward.

About the interview with the state, haven't heard back.

I didn't get the job with the education company now I'm contemplating about getting a 2nd job for the time being. Seems like these employers don't know what to do with my resume I know I'm qualified. I'm gonna find a 2nd job that is weekly pay.
