Find a pitch you like and then drive it hard somewhere buddy. :thumb:

What he ^ said, & I might add, have the patience to keep fouling off the junk pitches...
|
Thanks guys! I truly appreciate all the support I've gotten.
|
I went to a job seminar for a company early this week.
I found out yesterday afternoon that I've been chosen to continue on in recruitment process. My next appointment is Tuesday at 10. If that goes well I have an one-on-one interview with the Branch Manager. |
Awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hang in there!!!!!!!!!

:line:
Thank goodness someone finally saw the light! |

Before we all get "too" excited, there is a light there and there is a bulb ..........I'm not sure if the power is on or not!! :) I've moved from step 1 of the process on to step 2. It is a step in the right direction, but I'm not assuming I will get a job. I still appreciate the support though....and I won't deny any positive thoughts people wish to send. |
That's great news buddy! :D
Get 'em on. Get 'em over. Get 'em in! You'll do just fine my friend! :thumb: |
Good going 1nutworld...keep moving forward!
|
Well, I'm moving more in the right direction.........maybe?
I have an interview with the branch manager Thursday morning at 8:30. Its strictly a commission position, and there are up front costs that I can't cover. They are relatively inexpensive, but still more than my current situation allows me to have in "liquid assets". We shall see what this means and how it plays out, but despite my lack of success for the previous 8 months, I'm still coming across in a positive enough, and strong enough manner, so I'm not "disqualifiying myself", for the opening. |
Just keep marching forward and you'll get where you want to go. Take it from me, a positive attitude can help get you through an awful lot of things in this world. :thumb:
|
Nut, have you thought about a Temp Agency? It's not always what you may want to work but would be money comming in. Never know, a good job could come out of it.
|
I'm off to my interview this morning. I'll keep you posted.
|
Hopefully there'll be reason for a mid-day celebration. :nana:
|
Best of luck Nut..... Stay positive!!!! And :D
|
Well here ya go!
Technically I was offered a position this morning. I've got to take a certification class and then pass a state exam before I go to work, but a position is there for me should I meet these requirements. I'm working on making arraingments to help with the monitary costs, that come "up front". If it goes as planned I can start working Jan 2. (that part is a bit iffy at the moment) more to follow!! Thanks for all your thoughts and well wishes. |
PM me please and explain why it will cost you to work for someone?
|
Congrats buddy! Hope it all works out for you man. :thumb:
|
I was wondering what Lilith was!
But I hope it works for you. |
I have to agree with Lil, I heard something on the news tonite about companies that promise jobs that you have to pay for...I hope this is legit, & I know you're in desparate straits, but please, nut, proceed with caution...
|
May it be everything you need, Nut!! This is a particularly rotten time of year to be living with uncertainty, I know. Fingers crossed that it works out for the best, 2x4 at the ready in case this is some heartbreaking scam.
|
Nut Pmmed me because I was being all motherly as usual :D
I'm glad he feels confident about this new adventure! |

Pixie's Hot Mama! ;) Glad the 2x4 won't be necessary. |

There is nothing wrong with concern. I truly appreciate it. The "up front" costs are similar to those that I had to pay when I was starting my "career"......very loose useage of that particular word, as a Real Estate agent. A class to learn the basics of what my job will entail, and a state licensing exam to help regluate those selling the product. The certification test is to protect those selling and those buying, so the "wolves don't get into the sheep and hen houses" of sorts. |

AMEN to that Ginger! you are so correct. Keep that 2x4 around, though, because I might need it to beat sense into myself or my prospective clients. |
No new posts here since before the holidays... Is it safe to assume because you are pleasantly employeed and that there is hope out here for us other job seekers?
Please say yes, please say yes, please say yes. |
Sal,
I'm in a training program for a sales career that will be starting soon. So, yes technically I have a job. Good luck, because I know how tough it is out there. One of my friends has been out of work since March, and still hasn't got a job. |
Bad news, good news??
I failed my licencing test, so I am not going to be able to get into the sales career, at this point and time. By chance, I bumped into a friend last night when getting myself some dinner, and he may know of a job opening, I will find out more when I meet with him on Monday! |
Sorry to here that Nut, good luck on Monday!
|
Just enjoy your weekend buddy. I'm still thinking I made a good point about the press credentials though. ;)
|
Well, back to the drawing board.
Yet another job where I am either "overqualified" or they don't expect me to work for very long for the wage being offered, and so they have decided that the easiest result is to not worry about "wasting" money to train me, and they gave the job to someone else. Has anyone been keeing track of the number of times that I've heard the phrase overqualified over the past 10 months? I bet I could put a good downpayment on a house or something if I had $100 for each time. Being a former manager I understand not wanting to waste company money and time to train someone for a job they might leave within a few months, but why isn't anyone seeing the fact that I'm not even being OFFERED many jobs, so why would I leave right away? The bottom line is that I need a job, ANY job, minimum wage or otherwise, why is it so difficult to see that the job offers haven't been rolling in, so why would I leave within 3-6 months or so?? Can anyone explain this to me? |
Yippee!!!!
I have a paying!, non-selling, job that I start Today at 4pm. The 336 day streak of being un-employed is over! Thanks for all the support my friends! |
Best news I've heard in some time my friend. Congratulations!!! :D
