Frustration

This job hunting thing really does suck, apparently most of the jobs posted on Craigslist are scams (which is why I won't be looking there anymore) and most of the jobs on job search engines are for temp agencies. I'm trying my luck with the state but I keep getting letters back saying that I do not have list eligibility (check again people, I do, and I have the results to prove it). My first day down here, I had a job interview, the first one I've had in a long time. Though I didn't get the job, I figured it was a sign that finding a job down here may be easier. So far I've been proven wrong. Within the first week of moving here I also had a test for a position with the school district. We were told only the top three would get interviews, guess who ranked third? And guess who has not heard about her interview three weeks later and calling numerous times to leave messages? Sigh... oh well.

The upside is, there have been more jobs to apply for, so I'll just keep trying.

Keep your chin up Nicole, it given them a better target! The more you do the better the chance you have of finding employment.

With 30 years of medical experience and being 50, Im always amazed the excuses employers come up with to say NO. Hang tough, you and TJ have a good thing going : )
