I have about two weeks to find a job or I'm moving back to Los Angeles. ::sigh:: I hate this more than anything I have ever had to deal with. Probably. I was contacted by J. Kent Staffing before the holidays and I was really excited. I called back the woman who called me and she was not helpful, not friendly and very discouraging. She's like... I'

I wish I could conjure a good job for you! I hate that you (and Ian) are going through these tough times. I certainly don't want to see you go back to L.A., but I know that might have to happen.

Have you looked into administrative/secretarial/reception work? I mean, those jobs are *everywhere*, and most of them are easy to get into. Every time I have to fall back on something, that's the route I go. And I think you'd enjoy something like that more than McDonald's. :o)

What about retail? What about restaurant food serving? There's gotta be something out there for you that you can jump into quickly.

*smooshes*

Let me know if you need any help.

I'm reworking my resume to appeal to the admin type jobs. I'm going to have to go door to door now basically. So I'm trying to find places that I can walk into and see HR. I mean I've done the internet thing to death and applying online to hr for places. I need to be in peoples faces so I can sell them on the idea of me. This whole adventure is beyond humbling. I feel like such a loser. Not because I am jobless but because I've been jobless for so long. All that time I wasn't looking for a job because I didn't need one... I feel like I'm being punished for that. ::hugs:; thanks for listening. Thanks for caring. I'm going to do everything I can short of hooking to stay in Denver. I just like it better here. Except for the job thing. lol

Definitely put me down as a reference! And I'll let you know if I come across any job postings that sound promising.

Just hang in there, sweets. I've got faith you'll find something quickly.

keep me informed too ok????

I was/am not in your same situation, but I do understand your frustration. Last year the ONLY job I could get no matter where I tried was at Peaberry Coffee. Not that it was a horrible job, but just not what I had envisioned for my reentry into the workforce.
Whatever happens, wherever you go, whatever job you find, my hope is that you and Ian are happy.
Good luck!

[lunasunny]

Thanks Tamara. ::hugs:: I miss you.

[tamakay]

Is there any way we could maybe meet you guys for dinner Saturday or Sunday?

[tamakay]

Oh wait, that was a stupid question after you just posted about $$. What about dinner here Sat or Sun?

[fyredragon]

Oh sweety!!!!

*smooshes*

let me know if you need anything...

[lunasunny]

::hugs:: I just need you good luck wishes. ::hugs:: Hey, when are we girls getting together to talk wedding stuff?!! =D

One thing I have to get out of the way before I start commenting...We totally would have come to Ians party, but unfortunately, you had my old work email, so I didn't hear about the party til Tamara called that night and asked me if I was going..and I was like...to what? So let's have a make up bday night with Ian ok? Mt NEW jobless email is shaleilm@netzero.net

Ok, now...I KNOW!!!!! I know EXACTLY what you are going through!!! I apply to like 5 jobs a day, and NOTHING!! I am so upset, anxious and BOED I can't even tell you!!! The ONLY piece of advice I have, and the only thing that comforts me is...according to staffing people, this is the worst time of year for jobs. Everonr is making their budgets right now and will be hiring in Feb otr March...so if there is any way you can manage til then, I think things will turn around for us. That being said...I KNOW! This sucks SO MUCH!!! We are smart, good looking, hard working women! WTF? Why is this so hard?!?!?!?!?

I found some new staffing places and some more temp agencies last night while searching. And some more job sites. ::sigh:: I have stopped discounting jobs that were below my minimum salary requirements. I just have a requirement for a salary period! Ian and I have been talking about all our options, including me just going to LA for awhile and working and coming back. There's a way I MIGHT be able to manage that for a little bit. Slight chance but it's still on the table. I have to look at the short term and long term and all that and how do you know either way and blah blah blah. ARG. I have expanded my thinking to so jobs I wasn't looking at before I am going to now. So ::fingers crossed:: we'll see. Love you babe. Hang in there. If you ever want to scream and hollar about how frustrated the search is going just call me. We'll howl at the gods of fate together. :)
