Laid Off

[sammytequila]

As most of you know, I lost my job back in April due to downsizing. I've been trying to find employment ever since, but to no avail

have you been in touch with tara? she works for a company that places people in temp to hire positions.

definitely get in touch with her!

[sammytequila]

Yeah, actually her company got me a three-day temp gig back in October.

They've tried to place me in a few others since then, but I keep getting passed over.

What exactly do you want to be doing? I could search Schering (since we encompass a lot of areas) but what type of experience and type of job should I look for?

[sammytequila]

My skills are centered around internal and external communications, but at this point I'll take a customer service or HR position.

I know Outlook, MS Word, Excel and PowerPoint, and what I don't know, well, I'm a fast learner.

What's your email address? I'll send you some listings -- just mention me so they will give you a push to the front as a referral.

Thanks, Carrie!

what are looking to do, i might be able to send you along to some people

[sammytequila]

Like I told Carrie, my main area of expertise is internal and external communication; also copywriting, public relations writing, proofreading, editing.

But, at this point I'm willing to do customer service or Human Resources.
