Hi, I did say in another post how my new job let me go yesterday for not "meeting their unrealistic expectations." The job offered a lot of great amenities but not worth having someone breathe down my throat all the time! Too much micromanaging for me. It was doing help desk support which is something I needed more skills on my resume I don't know if I was a threat or weak for them to pick on me.

I gotta call the staffing manager tomorrow and my recruiter about what they can do for me. Seriously, so/been tired of these staffing agencies giving me ****ed up ******** answers and nobody knows their head from their ***! I had 3 employers call me today didn't bother to answer the phone right now I don't feel like talking to them. After this, I am seriously thinking even more so than before of a huge career change. I am so tired of the IT field ****ed up answers/excuses to me I don't know if the job saw me as weak or too slow for them or something about my skills that was bothering them.

I don't mind doing something like that new job was insurance. However, I don't want this to happen at another job where I am fine in training then they get me go on a whim or whatever not like a person has any control over what the employer decides - can't keep running back to my old job. I need something that's 35-42k for a single woman with zero kids what is wrong with that? Why am I still having issues finding/getting that? I want to move why is that still a problem for me?

I don't know if I can stomach another 5 weeks of training elsewhere. My old job knows I am looking for full time elsewhere they know I won't stay too long. I am starting to have an interest in a job doing relationship building with people my heart still seems to be for IT but am not happy with them right now. My therapist asked if i can do a job without phone work what job(s) these days don't require the use of a phone for business? I don't want to do warehouse still having back issues on the right side. I need to make my phone skills better so I can be more responsive quickly on the phones I know that's still a struggle for me.

No, old job can't make me full time not with a budget issue it's like that in all departments! I am not applying to anymore community colleges for full time takes way too long to hear back from the district office. I am still getting emails from other employers mostly contract work interesting still valuable elsewhere yet a lot of them can't give me straight answers! I may be back at part time but have no intentions of staying part time forever all of these full time jobs yet they give such bs to the job candidates!

Sigh why am i still suffering? just needed to vent. I want to find something else very soon this keeps getting me back into depression over and over again. I am also gonna make an apt with a counselor on campus see if they can again steer me in another direction so tired of asking for advice always the same thing never something that benefits me this is me not others! I have my insight in what I am looking/wanting/needing provide me what I am seeking...so we will see.

Hi ladytiger: I'm sorry to hear that your employer let you go. But, hopefully, in the end it will turn out to have been a good thing. Better opportunities are, hopefully, ahead. I'm retired at this point. So I no longer have to worry about seeking, or maintaining employment. And, all-in-all, I'm glad I am. Today's employment market is tough! It seems like you have to be able to do three jobs at once, & be willing to accept a pay rate that would be about half of what one job should actually offer. I don't envy those of you who are trying to make it in today's economy. So I wish you all the best as you begin seeking that next employment opportunity.

It's like god can't seem to move to another city any quicker! I talked to the staffing agency it wasn't her decision it was their client's decision. She told me to reach out to my recruiter(s) see if they can find me something. Thank god I was able to go back to my old job I was getting ready to start looking for places not put any money down yet. Waste of time to keep finding a "niche to call home," when I got other goals I need to complete.

So tired of people not having any answers and all they can give me is **** for an answer! Absolutely zero when it comes to any type of reasonable substance to provide me - time wasters. Sigh don't have the time to keep waiting **** out as I am gonna re-career sent my recruiter an email waiting for him to call me.
