Ok the company that I found a job with is the company that I started working for in November ( one week after Kerry conceded ) only as a temporary worker - temporary workers ( hired through temp agencies ) work when only they need us . And we have no health benefits - somedays you work , so days you don't . Well I learned everything fast , and luckily enough this was something that I was good at ( distribution and logistics , etc ). But the downside of being a temporary worker is that when the work slows down , you are not needed . From Thanksgiving to December , we were not needed . I went back to work for them from December to January 6 - I came to work and again I was told " oh Temporary Associates are not needed ." They did not need us again and this is when my breakdown started . On top of this my sweetie was heading to Iraq - so my world was falling apart ... Thoughts of joining the military actually crossed my mind - all I wanted a job for was to be able to go back to school and have my own place ...
But back in December when I was working for them , I put in an application to become a permanent employee . I was interviewed on January 21 , and I was received a call yesterday while working another temporary job that I have been hired - I had totally given up because I did not think I had got the job . I was told that I would be called the following Monday after I was interviewd - and when I did not get the call , I got depressed lol . Oh happy joy ! Since coming back home to the States , I think I have sent my resume to just about every company in my city - so to finally find a well paying job I am so estatic . I can finally afford to move out and get my own place . And I can finally go back to school !
My joy is bittersweet because the company that I am currently working for , these are the nicest people I have ever met in my life - They make you feel important - they introduce themselves and shake your hand , they say good morning to you every morning , they ask you how you are doing - I am going to miss this place even though I have only worked for them a short period of time . Its sad that I have to choose to work for a company which gives me better pay and medical benefits with stuck up cliquish people vs . semi-good pay and some of the nicest people I have ever met . ( but my assignment would end in October so I am taking a permanent job now so I won't have to search later . ) I never knew that this company with the nicest people ever existed , but I am glad I did . I am going to really miss this place ... but I guess this was a learning lesson for me that there are nice people left in the world :)
So for those of you that are currently unemployed , don't give up ... I wish all of you good luck .
