*hugs*

It's gotta be tough, but you're strong enough to get through it.

Have you maybe thought of starting your own business? It's risky, and it will be a lot of work, but you'll have a job if you're able to do it

I hope that the the Tories aren't elected to power tomorrow. It's so close it's scary

For those of you who have worries about a job. I might have an excellent internship that I have excellent experience from.

https://www.wdwcollegeprogram.com/sap/its/mimes/zh_wdwcp/index.html

I did this internship for a full year, made some great friends, and more. Only thing bad about this was my roomates, and having to deal with angry guests (Not part of your job.)

I was paid about 7.25 an hour back in 06, but I am sure nowadays it's a lot better. Has some killer benefits, an excellent retirement program, and equal opportunity for advancement.

If any of you guys feel like working under the mouse and giving this a try please -- please let me know so I can recommend you and get you a better position.

Sure working as a CP won't get you inside of a costume or whatever. But you will have some good memories!

E- Also, with this company under your belt. You will have little to no worries about getting a job. So long as you don't get fired -- then it will be a bad history for you.

Sorry that you didn't get it though. :/


Well you were definitely right about this Hiryuu. I got a call from a government contractor asking me to come in for an interview for a help desk position. I already completed 2 phone interviews for them and I can't wait to go in person. The commute isn't bad and get this, I would get a security clearance after 6 months. I mean, wow. Security clearances look absolutely AWESOME on a resume. I really hope I snag this one. After six months I would be making 35K a year too along with health, eye, and dental benefits! I am so psyched! Anyways, the first post applies here people. Keep me in your thoughts on this one *crosses fingers*

Little bit better than I'm pulling down. Then again, most of those government positions start out fairly nice. Here's hoping.

With great benefits to boot, I'm guessing. I hope you get this one. Just keep calm and don't set your hopes too high. Just remember there are probably other people trying for this position. When you go for the interview, do your best to exude confidence and let them know that you're the best person for this position without expressly saying it.

Good luck, again I hope you get this one.

I'm fine with Staples for now, although I'm not sure if I will be going back to college this year or not... I've wanted to since 2008, but nothing has come to fruition. =/

Coming from experience (myself), the longer you wait, the harder it is.
