Still no job
Hello every one my other half has not decided which job to take as of yet . He keeps asking me what to do .I do not think it is my place to pick for him but do you think i should help or just let him do it on his own. I do not want to push him or sound like a controlling witch ,I do have some things I fill he should look for in the job not just except the ones that sound good but do some home work first. Help me what do I do any ideas? I am trying to do my paper but not getting anywhere I am very depressed I stayed out side yesterday all day in the sun to try to help with that but it is back today. My friend went to the library to get me some books on my paper and I have been reading them .I have some great information to put in the paper but just can not concentrate on the work at hand .My paper may suffer from this depression but please understand I am doing my best. If he does not go back to work soon I may have to drop out to support us. I DO NOT WANT TO DO THIS! Stress is real bad here but I can not tell him what to do and will not. He got about 7 calls for work on Friday and they all talk a good game but we all know how that works .He is looking at two of them real hard . He had me do a online app. for him on Thursday and Friday the phone was ringing off the hook . I think this is a very good sign . Right now we are at the bottom of the food chain as far as money goes but I know I can get the things we need to survive by listing things on eBay and maybe the pawn shop so I will be OK there but this crappy filling will not go away. See my job would take me far from home every day so unless I got a lap top to do my class work I would not be able to continue. I know GOD will see me through so I will keep praying to him for his love and understanding. Hope all of you are doing good and are getting done with your work . HELP! ANY ideas would help Patty.

Patricia,
ReplyDeleteI too am unemployed. I worked for a company affiliated with GMAC. The government bailed them out and then they sent our jobs to India! I will never do business with GM again. I have been unemployed since the first of the year. The job market where I live(TN)is not that great. I am hoping to get a little further with my schooling and then hopefully get a position in a hospital doing whatever I can. My degree will be in Medical Transcription, then I hope to go on to Billing and Coding.
As for your other half........if you are a team, a job acceptance should always be a well thought out process that BOTH of you should discuss. Of course, it will be his decission in the end, but you should have input as well. Try to make a list of pros and cons for each offer. That might help to make a decission.
Hi Patricia,
ReplyDeleteI just wrote a nice long comment only to lose it because I got a message that "service was not available." This time I will copy my text before I try to post it. If that happens this time, I will post it in the grade book. It seems Michelle has some good advice about making lists of pros and cons. After you make this list together, I think you should select the offer that looks best now. I mean, I have had to take lots of jobs that were not perfect, changing up later to something else, just to keep the rent paid and food in my tummy. Although I understand not wanting to get "tied" to something less than ideal, sometimes you just gotta' do what you gotta' do. It always seems like women take jobs that are not ideal, when men are very reluctant to do that. Just my two cents. If I were your spouse, I would just count my lucky stars to have offers and go for what looks best to pay the rent or mortgage now. Good luck you two.

Me too, I have been unemployed since January 2009. I have been on unemployment since March. I got a years severance so I decided to go to school. I didn't start actively looking for a job until August. It is terrible. I am so over qualified because of my experience that they will no hire me. And to get back into management, I need a degree. I just want to work, finish school, and get on with my life. I think I sound like a broken record. I have this social anxiety thing going on, so just going door to door to fill out applications won't happen. I do apply to at least 5 jobs a week, some time more. I figured the law of averages would soon be in my favor. But since August, I have been on 2 interviews and 3 phone interviews. None worked out, no offer was made. I am a woman, over 50, with no degree; that adds up to no call back. Something will happen soon.
ReplyDeletePeggy ,I am so stressed out that I was thinking of going back to work even if it ment my dieing to keep up with the bills . I can get a job with no problem but it is my health that keeps me back. I would like nothing more than to go back to work but it would mean the quiting of school and my own death from all the bounceing around and bad food out there on the road. I have chrosis of the liver ,Hep-c, diabetes, nuropathy in both legs, gerd, COPD, and more so you see what I am saying. I started school to get a new start or job . And you do not sound like a broken record . A&PII is not an easy class but If you keep up on your studies and do the work required you will be ok. I just finished my A&PII , I have a b+ so far and that is after my final paper was graded .
