You may or may not know that I lost my job at the end of December, 2007. It was the week right before Christmas. Anyway, I applied for a ton of jobs but nothing prevailed. So, we decided to take the boys out of daycare. I could be home with them while looking for a job. While this sounds like an almost ideal situation, the uncertainty is difficult. After all, I continued to apply for a lot of positions and wasn’t getting any nibbles and a seven month gap in employment certainly doesn’t make me more marketable.
A couple weeks ago I had an interview with a medical equipment company that went well. I spoke with the hiring manager earlier this week. She was friendly and said she would know more by Friday. I took this as a good sign. I haven’t been written completely off.
Yesterday I had an interview with a diabetic supply company. I GOT THE POSITION! The down side, it is commission only. As with any commission only position, not having a stable income to help cover your expenses could cause more problems than what it is worth.
So, I get a call from another company this morning for a phone interview next week. How cool is that?!! I’m not as worthless as I thought I was!
Wish me luck. I’ll let you know what happens!!

Good luck, I hope if you stay with the commision job that it is fruitful. If you go with a salary job I hope it is plentiful as well!

Congrats Michelle! I’m so excited for you. I have no doubt that whatever you do, it will be successful! And hopefully it will be something you enjoy (in addition to making lots of money, of course).
I’m looking forward to seeing you soon now that school starts (we/I are counting the days).

Michelle,
Hope all goes well on the job front. Just remember it is not you the unemployment rate is at a all time high. People don’t realize that they need to appreciate the fact that they have a job regardless if it is what you like to do or not because finding another one in the market right now especially if you are maxed out on salary is a real challenge. Hang in there you have always landed on your feet. Enjoy the time you have with the kids right now it wont last forever. I blinked and my kids are now 19 and 17 where did the time go??
Love ya,
Alice
