As per my previous post most can tell I have been caught in that oh so lovely spot of traveling from one dead end job to another. Like most of us that I’ve read about on this site the only way to score if not the job you want a job in general is to really hit the pavement so to speak and submit, submit, submit. Upon doing just that I successfully got interviews to the the two top paying jobs I had hoped for. The issue here is they were on the SAME DAY. Now generally speaking that’s not necessarily a bad thing however in the long run my main problem I’d tried to avoid came true. I got a job offer from both and had limited time to make a decision. One is not going to wait for the other simply because I need time to weigh out my options. I ended up turning down the less paying of the two an proceeded with the other even though I’ve not fully completed the process. I am very confident I will get this job but now idk of I’ve completely burned the other bridge just because I declined the offer. There are no guarantees so I hope to hell I picked the right one...

I found a job by telling the employer, after the first interview, that I was going fishing. That seemed to impress them so they made a good offer. It does require relocating and relo was on the table.

I know it can be discouraging because I was at the end of my rope after putting out resume after resume. I was fortunate to go on interviews. I can't blame it on age because I am 69 years old. I was laid off in March and in July, 1 company took a chance on me and I enjoy my full time job in the field I was trained in. . All it takes is 1 company to say yes & doors can open up. Stay prayerful.

If your employer inquires about lapse of employment I find it better to discuss in person. I just got a great new job!

I am super, super excited!!!! I've been actively searching for a new job since the beginning of May, I've worked 2 jobs but HATED them both and honestly felt like I was going to have to settle and just work wherever and be miserable. Monday I got a call from our local hospital and went for an interview Tuesday, today they called for me to do the next steps for employment!!!!!! I also got an email from another company to set up a phone interview. The hospital job would be life changing, the money's great, the benefits are great and it's job security!!!! Wish me luck!!

I started a full time job yesterday. I struggled for almost a year with tons of interviews and no offers. I just want everyone to know that It will get better, Also, I am a recruiter for a Staffing Agency so if anyone is still looking for a job, Connect with me on LinkedIn and hopefully I can find you work as well. Keep on applying!
