I am a little upset right now. Just got home from driving around Lancaster County for the past 6 hours. I was handing out resumes to funeral homes in the area....well handing out or slipping them in the mail slot because no one was at the funeral home. It's rather discouraging. I get out of school on August 16th then off to work in the "real

I completely know how you feel because I went through all that. You will find something, it just might take awhile but hang in there and be persistent!

You might even have to consider moving. Who knows, maybe you'll find a place that wants you to move into the funeral home like I did.

Have you tried calling those places? When I was looking for a job I got a much better response when I called and asked to speak to a manager. Some smaller funeral homes don't always keep staff in the building and people are just on call too sometimes so that might have been why people weren't there. They also could've been out on a service.
Besides calling around saves gas.

Maybe ur friend went on vacation? A very lonnngg vacation? Or maybe he just doesn't check his email or phone messages...

I will call them all next week to make sure that they found my resume and that they just didn't toss it. I am probably going to have to go to Harrisburg or something....no biggie but so far from my house. We'll see...
Oh and about that friend...I IMed him and his away message didn't show up so I think he took me off of his buddy list....
Kind of sucks when one of your best friends just up and leaves you with no explanation....

Hi. Just noticed you're post in mort community and thought I'd offer some advice. Keep being a thorn in thier side. You're doing the right thing in going door to door but follow up with a fax/phone call. When you get an interview send a thank you letter (you'd be surprised how many interviewees don't do it).

If you want to work corporate, you can apply online and then follow up with a phone call to see if they recieved it.

More importantly, Don't give up hope. The right place will find you.
