I GOT A JOB!

[Dulcinea]

It's part-time, not a lot of money, but it beats being unemployed! I have been out of work for nearly 2 years, & all hope was almost gone. I'm happy with part-time employment; I have kids at home, & I'll be home when school lets out. I got the official HR offer letter today. I start Monday.

To all you long-term unemployed: Don't give up. It's gotta get better.

26. Congrats!

I join the unemployment line Friday after 12 years at the same company. Just found out yesterday (still in shock).

[hootinholler]

27. WOOT!

I have an interview tomorrow (knock wood) having just found out they decided to skip a phone screen and just schedule the in person interview.

Not sure if that's a good thing or sign of desperation, LOL.

Good news to hear things may be on the upswing. After all corporate america can't sit on all that cash forever, can they?

So all those "we won't hire the unemployed" hurdles may be down for you.

Here's to stepping stones and a brighter job future for you!

:toast:

[customerserviceguy]

42. Great!

I've been hearing from some of my customers that people who have been out of work for a long time are now getting jobs in the new year, they call to work out a payment plan. Things may be turning around for good, finally.
