So some may recognize me from being a bit upset about an interview that I went to and thought that I totally aced. To my surprise I did not, in fact I received an email stating that they were going to consider other candidates.....I was so confused as to what I did wrong. Was it my red streaked hair, was I not professional enough, or was I too inexperienced? However, days later I received an email for an interview exactly 1 week from when I attended the first one. To my surprise I just received the call that I GOT THE JOB!!!! Not only did I get the job I actually nailed the interview and was told there was no need for a second one....She told me to check my email for documents that contain a background check as well as a drug test....I don’t have a background and I don’t do drugs so I’m just patiently waiting for my start date....Thank YOU GOD....!!!!! I kept my faith and with the encouraging words from many in this group I did it.....Now I currently possess 2 jobs....Aldi & Amazon WOOOOOO HOOOOO....

Got offered a position! They just sent me a bunch of forms. One of which is a questionnaire about my medical history. I was just hospitalized for cardiac issues but am on the mends now. I also have to say yes to diabetes. Will this cause me this offer? Please help. I am freaking out!

I must say that I had really become frustrated with putting in applications, having phone interviews, as well as face to face interviews. I’ve been praying for God to open a door and give the finances to relocate to be close to my family. I interviewed for a job on Tuesday and on Wednesday they called and offered me a salary position with more money than I originally asked for. I just thank God for opening this door for me and my family!

I left the first job because it just wasn't right for me. So I ventured out on my own and applied, I went thru the requirements and they said they wanted to see me walk back thru the door. I appeared and was hired. It was a slow start but my hours are starting to pick up, they're flexible with my needs and I'm working in my field of expertise....home healthcare. I'm very happy and the clients love me. I see a future with this agency.

I've been in Philadelphia since December and i had been looking for work. I go on a job interview but as i walk in the power goes out! I knew instantly to just keep going. So i sign in and ask where the stairwell is. I look at my paper it says the 12th floor. So i proceed to walk the flights of steps and i stop on the 5th floor because im tired. I open the door because i was about to give up. I look around and realize the elevators are still down so i just go back in the stairwell and proceed to walk up the other flight of steps. I figured what was the use in giving up when i need a job so i kept pushing. I finally make it up to the 12th floor and the receptionist isn't at her desk she had just stepped away. A lady went and found her and told her i was there for my interview and told her what i did. That became the talk of the office immediately. She notified the hiring manager to let her know i had arrived but she was on the 9th floor. So i had to walk down to that floor. When i got there she immediately told the floor what i did. They were all saying you're hired! I'm thinking okay i just wanted to get to my interview on time. Needless to say i interviewed great and landed the job. I start next month and im glad i kept going instead of giving up.

I was laid off almost a year ago. Because I had been there so long, I had 30 weeks of severance coming to me. I took sometime off to enjoy my granddaughters and started looking hard for a job in July. I received more rejections then interviews. One of my husband's customers told him about the company he works for. I applied in December and again in late January. I received a call in February for an interview. I got the job. I'm so excited, I start tomorrow. I can't wait to start this new chapter.

After being let go from my job and taking a few crappy ones to make sure the bills were paid,i noticed that a place i want to work at was hiring. I sent my resume through Facebook,imagine that Facebook. And the very next morning they asked if i could come in and speak with them,so i did. Told them what i was looking for in pay and no questions asked i was working the next day which was a friday. Have worked just about every day,it's the following Sat now & my first day off! Just excited to be doing what i love again! Thank you all for your suggestions,i greatly appreciate it.. All of your word's of encouragement really helped. #backinthesaddle #awesomenewjob #happygirl

Well I FINALLY got a job in my field. But it’s $7 less in the hour than what I was making. SO I know beggars can’t be choosy but I already feel like a whipped dog , and this is a huge blow to the ego and wallet.

If you have patience things will come your way. I did now I'm employed. Had the interview this morning she asked 1 question, Tell me about yourself? First thing that came out my mouth was "I'm a convicted felon i made mistakes now I'm trying to correct them. I couldn't lie sometimes you've to be completely honest. Why i said that honestly i was tired of being unemployed. She looked at me & said she has a good feeling about me. Ended the interview with don't let me down when the Owner calla you in. Not even 3 hrs later I HAVE A JOB. Fucking Awesome!!
