I'm proud to see those who I've helped help others. A tip of the cap to Cane Toad, my good friend from Oz.

11. All Is Well
I'm usually lurking around here...only come out in the morning and take a couple whacks at what's going on. Hope all is well with you as well.

Cheers...

7. Paying it forward?
That's very cool. I'm unemployed, but I'd prefer it go to someone with more desire for one than I have. I'm cool with the status quo, but I occasionally feel like a freeloader.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'll pay it forward asap - the ads were demolishing what little sanity Ziggy hadn't already taken!

12. Unemployed and had a job yanked from me today.
They've decided to spread the duties out over their existing employees.
This after 5-interviews followed by 2-weeks of near-silence.

15. Snarkoleptic
:hug:

Hang in there...that type of behavior has been happening a lot over the past two years. It's really disheartening because your hopes are let down, and then to keep on hoping just seems pointless. We actually had this happen twice after 2nd interviews and being flown out for plant visits and salary negotiations. I don't have any answers just wanted you to know you're not alone.

18. Thanks for your kind words. Hang in there as well.
Seems like a lot of companies are sheepish about hiring during the nascent recovery.

then they contest unemployment benefits. I finally had my hearing last week, and the other side does not show! And yes, TALX was involved, bloody bastards!
