I have lived in NC for a month and a half now, I have had no success with getting a job. Although I do have a small monthly income from my early retirement from my job. Less than 1000 dollars though, I have also taken custody of my 2 grand daughters. So you know my income is not sufficient. I have been to some interviews but has gotten no response back from anyone. I seriously think there is a lot of age discrimination going on here. But I just say oh well its their loss. Because I have training in alot of areas. I will never beg for a job. I have worked since 15, and am 57 now. I will make a way.

So I got hired on at a privately owned exxon on Monday. Today was my first day of doing day shift. Before today I felt somewhat fine about things but after today my God, there's so much to counting down the drawer at closing. They make it to where a certain amount of certain Bill's has to be in the drawer. Today 1 of the girls that has been there for quite some time now showed me and the girl that started today how to close down the lottery. There was so much to it to where she multiplied certain numbers, added certain numbers and I don't know what all. I don't know why it takes me so long to learn things and to get them down and to actually contain things. I feel like I'm not containing them fast enough. I feel like I'm just waiting to be told I'm fired. I don't know what to do. I'm recently separated and I need a way to do things for myself and for my son. I completely relied on him and was a stay at home mom and house wife. I feel like maybe I'm just not a worker and like it's just too late to get good work ethics. Me and my son has been staying with my parents for the last 3 years since my husband hasn't had a home for us. I guess I was waiting for him to come to his senses and hoping things would go back to how they had been. I just don't know #stress #worry #overthinking #notcontaing

Work life balance is a phrase that feels overused. The truth is that this is different for everyone. Remote work has allowed me to be an engaged parent and efficient worker.

I was a drug addict and left my situation so I could be a parent to my daughter and my grandmother allowed me to move cross country to come help and to work on myself so I got a job things was going well however I kind of wanted to start dating again ended up kicked out cycle repeated lost custody of my kid. I ended up starting over got back in contact with my grandma who let me come back in and I got a few associates degrees and began working on my mental health in that process I got a job at a call center and loved the work environment but focused more on making money and doing projects to my home to make it safe for my grandma who at that point had dementia and for some time time year I had a feeling something was going to happen. I lost my job at the call center which hurt ended up working for a store I hated and during either sleep or work my gma ever up having a stroke and it was even harder just sitting watching her die so I lose that job and got hired at another call center but ended up being accused of stealing so worked 4 days and fired Thought I could have someone help be an asset if I lost work they could handle the bills and back and forth but the person bailed I’ve applied to over 150 places in the past two months and over all interviewed only at 25 of them lost family lost work no income and doing the job fairs and interviews and having gone through such a hard experience I lost confidence in me I don’t know what to do any more
