I have had many interviews lately. Nothing seems to pan out though. Today was my interview for the 911 dispatcher position. It went well I think, but I’ve had the same feeling before. I have been dreaming of this job since I first heard about it, and I believe my chances are quite good.
I have an interview Monday at my wifes’ second job. This seems “iffy” at best to me, as I like the office lifestyle, but am not your “typical” office worker.
I will do my best, as I think anything (that has a decent salary) is better than my current situation. I don’t mind my current job, I just hate the days and hours I have to work (12am – 8:30am Saturday through Wednesday). The only reason I keep going is to keep my house. I don’t want a foreclosure on my record.
I sent my resume to a place that would not disclose their name (it happens frequently around here). I received an email yesterday regarding that position. The email stated that the company makes “high-end” lamps, tables and accessories. This is a warehouse position with some assembly required*. I was shocked, no, furious about the salary, a mere $6.50 an hour! Most warehouse positions in this area salaries’ are double that! I wanted to send them an email stating how mad I was, but I didn’t. I sent them a simple one stating based upon the salary I was no longer interested.
I know somewhere, there is something for me. I just wish this search would end, and soon. It has always been hard for me to get a job, let alone a career. That seems to be the unattainable dream in my life.
