A new job I had let me go after a month of training for not being fast enough for their unrealistic expectations. This was contract work as I was working for the client which offered a lot of amenities that I was looking and thought I found my home.

I ended up going back to my part time job because I need a check to keep going - which I am glad to be back and they do know I will not be there for long. It will be 2 yrs next Feb at the part time job since I am a temp employee at a college there's no moving up, you gotta be very very lucky to be hired on full time, everything takes much longer at the District level. I have applied to my campus and others a total of 13 applications; had a few interviews in the past that sounded promising never went anywhere got turned down.

My plans got ruined again as I had plans to look for a place to move too after training thank god I didn't do anything yet! My money is almost at the goal that I need to leave yet still can't leave because "I'm not quick enough for the employer." This sucks that I might have to wait until after the holidays to find full time employment again. I am still getting employers contacting me (should have fired me long ago) and I haven't contacted them back yet not ready to just yet.

Now, I am worried about how am I gonna pay my insurance (car) next year by month with my part time job. I was building up my savings now it's gonna go up and down. I need another job that's gonna be stable not use some **** to get rid of me. I was thinking of making an appointment with the college counselors but I don't want my time wasted hearing garbage for advice tell me what's gonna be beneficial for me and doable so I can stop spinning my wheels.

Money has to get tighter again this sucks what the hell did I do to deserve this severe punishment? I want to re-career but don't want any schooling right now. I am a single female with zero kids why can't I have the salary of 35-42k?! In the state of AZ, that is considered good if you have no kids. It's doable and they are available I just need something with training to learn new skills. I am NOT going back to the city/county places for employment or any kind of training because it will be another merry go around! Why am I still waiting? People keep telling me to wait, no, lost my patience I need another full time job like now!

I have to vent this is still some ****ed up ****! I am not accepting anymore part time jobs! Not fair to see previous temp workers I used to work still at their ft jobs none of them haven't come back to their pt jobs yet I am stuck again!

you'll find the job that is right for you eventually, just keep looking for the job adverts, and don't give up on yourself.

Why is this such a damn *** treasure hunt?! I feel like I am still being punished all of this waiting is making it even more painful again over 30 interviews to get the job that pushed me out?! I still haven't heard back from the recruiter. I'm not happy in my living situation at all again why am I still waiting?

Ugh, hate wasting my time with staffing agencies. Haven't been getting any good advice except just find a job gee thanks find a job doing what exactly!? I mean, that's the best solution people can come up with. I don't wanna keep getting another job they drop me for dumbass reasons then I gotta crawl back to my old job. The IT field is absolutely ridiculous I feel as though I don't want to keep applying to any IT positions and they treat me like I don't know how to learn the material. My pt job is barely help desk as it is with very limited training so if they expect me to already have 5+ yrs of experience in the IT field I don't have that at all and if I did wouldn't it be on the resume? I have a degree that's it don't have any prior experience in IT.

The job that let me go I am not gonna mention that to other employers just gonna say yea I am still with my college job looking for work. Finding a full time job shouldn't be this difficult!

Yeah, this it totally messed up. I'm in the same boat. Been earning the same amount of money since college and I have a crapload of degrees and I'm broke and I'm in debt. I guess that's gonna be our generations (I'm in my early-mid 30s). All this education and student loans that are basically shackles and crap jobs.

I'm sorry you're going through this. This is the kind of stuff that just makes me crawl into bed while I still have one.

Have you taken a look at federal jobs? or state jobs as opposed to county/city? I'm going to lose my job in 1.5 months and I'm gonna be scrambling too. I feel your pain. I'm so sorry! :/

The state and federal jobs of AZ are very very hard to get into. A couple days ago, I did apply to a couple of State jobs. I have applied with County jobs, none of the city jobs come close to what I can do with this limited amount of experience as a temp employee - they all want tons of experience. They have quite a bit of temp positions within the gov jobs like really? I don't want to keep getting more and more temp positions.

I am almost 30, it's like does it look like I have time to still be finding myself? It feels as though I am still being treated like I'm 18 by people! Hmm, this one employer a private high school wanted me badly that was when I took that new job and been thinking wondering if I could contact that recruiter from the school see if they got an opening for me.

Still in disbelief that I am still broke! Well, my abusers should be ****ing happy that's what they made me to be especially like my mom always to be broke! Gee, people wonder why I am always emotionally and physically sick. Jobs in AZ are very hard to come by so much drama and hoops to go through to get a job pompous *** interviews. I want to stay in the education field doing either tech work or some kind of office work again that's still hard to find.
