DISCOURAGED

I was laid off in October 2015 and was not able to find employment until December 2016 through a staffing agency. I was grateful to have finally find a position even though it was not permanent. Worked for 7 months at the temp assignment applied for the position and they stilled decided to go with another candidate. The job ended July of this year and the agency sent me on another interview with another company that did not decide to hire me either. I have been applying for positions that I feel that I qualify for, but have been overlooked for what apparent reason I do not know. At this point I have become discouraged and emotionally drained with life. My FAITH is the only thing that has kept me strong, and at times I question that. At this point I just want some stability in my life.

Sorry you are going through this employment rejection.

May I ask what position you are targeting?

One more comment--be careful about the employment agency you are working with. There are many businesses which don't want to actually hire you. Make sure your agency has a good contract WRT full time hiring.

Also, you might want to meet with a job coach. There is some upfront cost, but many will not only help you discover what you really want and train you to interview, but some will actually be able to locate an employer who might want to interview you.

Good luck and God Bless!

Finally, looking for a job is tough and you will experience some rejections. Hang in there!

God is stable and he's secure. The only security cuz there definitely is no job security. What about capella university an online school where u can achieve degrees? Until then doordash. Com to deliver groceries if u have a car, care.com if u luv working with families, and glass door. Com for office positions. Indeed. Com for warehouse work. Your belief and faith must be in God! Read your word and attend church so your faith can be increased. If u listen and obey him, he will guide u and give to u your needs. Trust me!

I'm so sorry to hear this, Latoya. Have you only been trying to get jobs through the temp agency? If so, definitely try looking for some jobs on your own. That way you aren't stuck having to go through the middle man and you can follow up on your applications yourself. Wishing you lots of luck!
