I work for bailey creek nursing home I work the 10pm -6am shift I love my job I've wanted to be a cna dor a long time my grand mother took care of me till I was 16 cause my mom and dad worked when I got a little older I saw she could not move around the same and I started to care for her she was so sweet and loving and kind. She had cancer she passed when I was 16 one of the worsted days of my life and she never wanted to be in a nursing home so I wanted to work at a nursing home to try to make it better for other people's family members. I love being a CBS the most rewarding part of the job is to see that I put a smile on one of there faces .....

Hi everyone! I'm Dolly from the Philippines and a newbie here. I joined this platform because i knew it will be a great help for me to find a home based job. It's been 7 months since i resigned from my previous work as a secretary in a garments factory. Working there for a year and a half i learned a lot. But because of my youngest son, being maltreated by his NAN i am forced to resigned to look for them. I do studied and research about home based job and i found this very interesting. That's why my partner and i decided to set up my own PC and installed an internet connection to start up. During my first hunt, i thought i was lucky enough because i got hired as an appointment setter right away. They said the salary was every end of the month so i took the risk. But when end of the month came, and i was asking my salary they kept saying excuses like next week and another next week again but i still worked because i trusted them. Until one day they blocked me and can't find anymore. Sad experience on a first try but I am not loosing hope that there are still good people all over. I hope in this platform i can find a decent job that will help me earn so i can help my partner and be able to send my daughter to college this coming school year..Thank you so much..

This has real been hard on me since my best friend my husband died 2yrs ago...I had a full time job at home cooking,canning,raising grandchildren,great nieces and nephews plus we had 150 animals I took care of daily ..Besides all house work...My husband was over the road truck driver at age of 72 ...His family needs came first before his needs..Plus we were granny and papaw to all the neighbor kids...Most of them come from poverty..Well we was rich in money sense rich with love...one night I truly never forget he called home and ask are you resting the laugh was on I still in kitchen with 14 children cooking their supper..He said what I repeated it he said your joking I said no I said kids holler papaw tell who all here. They are did like roll call ...then he decide we better get off phone he said them kids need a good hot meal before they go to bed they have school tomorrow...He said is all of them spending the night I said no but I can make room for them if needed..He said it's never a quite moment at home ..Well I had to leave our home and neighborhood that we lived in for 8 yrs ...Now I'm about 15 miles from old neighborhood I really miss it and children .Now i live tiny in Camper only 1 little dog I sure don't remember ever being so alone ..Now I work part time I get to help customers in store I do resets and planogram ..I stay extra sometimes over at work just to hear voices...Ask and talk to customers So I guess I could say my job saved me from loneliness...Never take anything for granted because we're not promised ..So I'm very thankful for whom I am ...i hope one of you think how something like my life style change over night...It's hardest thing I ever had to deal with..I work for many years two and three jobs most of my life till I meet my husband ...After 10 yrs I'm now back working ..But I love helping other and giving advice and opinions...

I owned my own country store and bakery for 10 years. I lost my husband to cancer and just couldn’t handle the business by myself. Now I’ve been looking for work....minimum wage....do you think I can get work? No....this is ridiculous!

It was a family business and I was thankful to be a part of the family

I have never worked for anyone but family or for myself so this whole process is new for me.

Have you ever noticed the way someone’s eyes light up or their disposition changes when you thank them? It seems so simple, but with those two words they suddenly feel appreciated, praised, and cared about.

Saying “thank you” is so incredibly powerful and sadly not said enough!

**-**You could thank your spouse for supporting you during your job search.

**-**You could thank your children for that hug they gave you this morning.

**-**You could thank the cashier for taking those extra 5 seconds to ensure your purchase was wrapped carefully to make it home in one piece.

Sometimes in life, we come to expect things either because they happen pretty commonly OR we just forget how special they truly are. Don’t! Appreciate every single thing that is good in your life and don’t forget to say thank you to those that helped make it happen.

I thanked my work family just the other day for a wonderful card they gave me that changed my whole day.

It’s truly the little things that matter the most : )

So, who is the last person you thanked?

Why did you thank them?

I have a phone interview with a recruiter from Union Home Mortgage on Tuesday that I am excited about and well qualified for but still, remembering that it doesn't mean I will be chosen "but a good possibility". My husband was diagnosed with Non-Hodkins Lymphoma from using the product Round Up weed killer almost 2 years ago, he is in remission now but, the type he has is terminal and his doctor said it will come back eventually and when it does, it will happen quickly ( there is a life expectancy of 2 to 3 years for his type of cancer )... I have continued working at my current job which I've held for alittle over 13 years but have not had anyone to offer me a better opportunity ( I've been looking for better opportunities for about 3 years ) so my question is... Do I accept the offer from Union Home Mortgage if they offer me the position... OR stay at my current position so I can take FMLA when and the cancer does come back because you do have to be at a job for 1250 hours before you can claim FMLA and I have no idea if he has 3 months or 1 year. I am only at $12.16 an hour after over 13 years at my current job....I know I should be grateful I have a job even at my small paycheck and I am but I want better! I have to say also that my husband has medical through my job but Union Home Mortgage offers medical after being employed after 1 month. I am sorry for sounding un-grateful if I do come across that way... I'm not, I pray to God and thank him for mine and my husband's life everyday along with my other blessings... we both have children from other marriages.

Had to quit,my family was else where,worked to get back to them..wouldnt you?

I need a job
