I haven't had much time to get on here but couldn't wait until I could. Everyone here on jobcase has gotten me through the hopeless days, anxiety, my fear of giving up if it weren't for my two teenage boys (sometimes I wasn't sure I was doing them any good), the crying etc. it has been a tough road. I had a perfect job opportunity that I screwed up being ten minutes late. I had gotten lost, no cell phone and hadn't had the gas to make a dry run taking a different route for my second interview. This wasn't like me and I couldn't grasp why I was changing. I was hating myself even more so for feeling sorry for myself but it all came down to everything I do is for my two boys. I received a call for a collections position. Considering I'm applying for a mechanical assembler position I wasn't thrilled but extremely thankful. I took the position and incredibly it isn't just a pay check. I'm happy. It is much more than collections, it's only five of us, immediately I was told how great of a job I'm doing even was told phenomenal job. My heart broke because that recognition is hard to come by. I have some concerns that I'm the new girl and maybe not everyone is liking me working. But I will put forth everything I have to take care of my two boys. I did attempt to apply for the mechanical Assembler position yet again and received a email thanking me for applying but unfortunately they will be considering other candidates. It broke my heart that a second chance isn't an option clearly. I can tell you one thing for certain that if they would have hired me they wouldn't be hiring for that same spot again today!!!!!!!!! Because of all of you and your kind words and making me feel like I had family with strangers I've never met before, I thought to myself would these have been people I would have wanted to work for? Nope!!!!!!!!! I'll take day by day as I always should. It's definitely a change having my two boys smile when they see mom dressing up to go to work instead of steel toe boots and jeans. THANK YOU EVERYONE AND I'M GOING TO LOG ON EVERY NIGHT TO SAY HI. I can't afford a cell phone service with this check but I'm going to try for one next paycheck and that will make it easier for me to login and say hi.
