After 8 months of unemployment I have a job offer! |
|
Just had to share. I have been so depressed. Suicidal. Was ready to give up and my sister saved me. Moved in with her family and began applying and interviewing again (IT field - very competitive and I'm female and over 50).
Her constant pep talks and reassurances of "as long as it takes" support made the difference for me.
I'm crying as I type. Maybe the long nightmare is over for me.

New eyeglasses! Mine are so scratched. I cannot wait.
I also cannot wait to pass this on... as in provide help for someone else.
I used to give quite a bit to the homeless and I had stopped.

10. Well I can tell you that it is rough out there. |
|
Alot of competition. I had to relocate to a large city to even have a shot.
And again, if it were not for the charity of my sister and her family (BIL and niece) I would be homeless.
I lost everything. I have no car, not even a cell phone. My niece (a teenager bless her heart) loaned me her cell phone and my sister and BIL have been ride sharing so I can have a vehicle to use.
None of this would have been possible without them.
I have a ton of debt, lost a house but finally, A JOB OFFER.

I interviewed for a job I would LOVE to have almost four weeks ago. Great company, great benes, and the two managers that interviewed me seemed like they would be awsome to work with. I thought the interview went GREAT (felt totally on my game that day), so I've been kind of bummed that I haven't heard back from them.......but two people on my reference list called me day before yesterday to let me know that they had been contacted for a reference, so........(fingers crossed).

You just gave me a shot of hope. I am in the same boat. Out almost 7 months, female, in IT, over 50. Still living on my own and hoping something will come through for me this month.
I hope it works out well for you. :hi:

26. I'm so sorry you've been through so much. Great that you got a job. But if you |
|
ever are in that situation again think of your grandparents and the depression and war. And remember that bad times can happen in any life but they only end up being a small blip in a full lifetime.
