I am extremely frustrated! I’m sick of not being able to find a job in sales. I’ve been looking for eight months and nothing has prevailed. Let me rephrase, a job with a base salary. I had an interview with a company a couple months after I was laid-off. It was sales in the accounting field. I wasn’t interested at the time. Last week I had a phone interview with the HR representative with the same company. I’m hoping the manager doesn’t remember me and I can get in front of them again. NOW, I want that job. I’m realizing I’m going to be more successful in the field where my education lies. I’m frustrated because I wish I would have known then what I know now.
I’m fed up with the economy. We are in a recession; there is no doubt about it. Ask me and the millions of other Americans who are out of work and can’t find jobs. I spoke with a friend last night that has a friend who was working in pharmaceutical sales, moved to rural Missouri with his company only to have them let him go. He is now painting houses with his brother because he can’t find another job. Companies are trying to stay afloat and are letting more and more people go and are expecting more and more out of the remaining employees without additional compensation.
I’m mad because I can’t let go of the past and move forward. I keep re-living the events that lead to my departure. While my former boss was an evil vindictive bitch, some of what she said was true. She would blow things out of proportion and use it against me. OK, can you tell that I can’t let go of this????
I’m disappointed in myself and the role model I’m creating for my kids. I get so upset at times that I just yell and slam doors. Then I watch my kids repeat the same actions when they get upset. After seeing my children do it, you would think I would learn and stop, but I just get frustrated and do it again.
I keep telling myself it would be different if… but it never seems to change. Am I doomed to this fate? Damn, why can’t I just win the lottery?

Keep you head up and something will fall in your lap when you least expect it.
As a business owner, I would have to disagree with part of it. This country is far from a recession, business is just in a swing. Upper end, high paying “suit” jobs are in decline, but manufacturing is as stong as is has ever been. I am unable to fill positions here for the fact that the “unskilled” (I hate that Label) workers are all working. I have had many people come and put resumes in, but many would rather be unemployed than take a “Mindless Job at a pay cut” (actual quote).
So like I said before, keep your head up … And something will come your way ……. And remember “It Only Makes You Stronger”

Hugs to you! I know it can be frustrating, but I’ll bet the perfect job is just waiting for you to find it!

You know what! I have always looked up to you as a person that would be there. So what if you don’t have the “perfect job” who does. They always say if you loved EVERYTHING about what you do you would do it for free. I think more of you for standing your ground and not giving in to pawning the kids off at a daycare so you can earn ten bucks more than the amount daycare costs. (Nothing against people in that situation) It is these values that you have that make me look up to you as my sister. And your stand is much better than a “because I don’t have the best job available right now I refuse to look for anything else” attitude.
The career that satisfies all parts of your life will come, as long as you keep looking for it. That is why you spent the time and money to get the education you have.
