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

scotzoidman 12-08-2006 10:30 AM

What he ^ said, & I might add, have the patience to keep fouling off the junk pitches...

1nutworld 12-08-2006 10:51 AM

Thanks guys! I truly appreciate all the support I've gotten.

1nutworld 12-15-2006 09:38 AM

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.

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.

IowaMan 12-15-2006 07:28 PM

That's great news buddy! :D

Get 'em on. Get 'em over. Get 'em in! You'll do just fine my friend! :thumb:

rockintime 12-16-2006 01:04 AM

Good going 1nutworld...keep moving forward!

1nutworld 12-19-2006 09:53 PM

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.

IowaMan 12-19-2006 10:15 PM

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:

sodaklostsoul 12-19-2006 10:41 PM

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.

1nutworld 12-21-2006 08:13 AM

I'm off to my interview this morning. I'll keep you posted.

IowaMan 12-21-2006 08:16 AM

Hopefully there'll be reason for a mid-day celebration. :nana:

Coaster 12-21-2006 09:10 AM

Best of luck Nut..... Stay positive!!!! And :D

1nutworld 12-21-2006 02:42 PM

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.

Lilith 12-21-2006 04:24 PM

PM me please and explain why it will cost you to work for someone?

IowaMan 12-21-2006 07:45 PM

Congrats buddy! Hope it all works out for you man. :thumb:

sodaklostsoul 12-21-2006 11:40 PM

I was wondering what Lilith was!

But I hope it works for you.

scotzoidman 12-21-2006 11:41 PM

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...

GingerV 12-22-2006 09:54 AM

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.

Lilith 12-22-2006 09:57 AM

Nut Pmmed me because I was being all motherly as usual :D

I'm glad he feels confident about this new adventure!

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.

Salacious 01-17-2007 09:30 AM

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.

1nutworld 01-17-2007 06:59 PM

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.

1nutworld 02-16-2007 11:17 AM

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!

sodaklostsoul 02-16-2007 12:01 PM

Sorry to here that Nut, good luck on Monday!

IowaMan 02-16-2007 12:37 PM

Just enjoy your weekend buddy. I'm still thinking I made a good point about the press credentials though. ;)

1nutworld 02-24-2007 08:45 PM

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?

1nutworld 03-20-2007 12:26 PM

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!

IowaMan 03-20-2007 12:30 PM
