Kat

So why is it that I have graduated from college at the top of my class in May 2018 with a degree in Health Information Technology. I then had to move to CO for a job when no one up here in N. Idaho would give me a chance. I am a medical coder and while in CO displaced from my husband for 9 months. I obtained 3 credentials within 1-1/2 months of each other. These are RHIT, CPC-A and CHCA which is a certified health care auditor. It seems that at the FEW interviews I have had, they think that is amazing but I never seem to get considered for any jobs. All they want me to do is collections. I am very very frustrated and why is it that someone who is smart and has the skills and education and background to do any job in a medical billing department NOT BE THE RIGHT FIT? I am so sick and tired of being passed up every single time.

3$triks H.V.A.C & OUTTA'HERE!!

My Sons & I recently moved from Milwaukee Wisconsin. I'm in my fifth year of journeyman, HVAC certified, forklift certified & @rtist by trade. I tried private Contracting for HVAC on Las Vegas Trail,Fort Worth Texas. Worst place ever to start out, if you don't know anyone! I did the work, show the burden of proof & expect the $300 check for a 4complex apartment to make ready, & 1 clean-out... Then make ready!! Instead I received the $30 check, & escorted off the property by the police. Then, told it's a civil matter you have to take them to court in order to have anything done!! Strike 1! Decided to cover myself by Temp service. I was hired immediately at A-list Staffing Dallas TX. They in turn sent me back to Fort Worth TX. To "Autumn Chase" on Riverside Drive, Fort Worth TX. I worked comfortably through my probationary period & was given a parking permit, mailbox key, apartments to live in while working for the complex.(contracted)but never given a copy of the contract, nor lease agreement. I interned went back to A-list Staffing to make a record of these proceedings... once the job was completed (earlier than contracted expected!) Instead of giving me my last check, management proceeded to pass me an eviction notice, do an illegal writ of property, cut off my electricity & take me to court!! I won my first two court hearings from Judge Lisa R Woodard. Her courtroom statement was " I don't know what management is doing over there at Autumn Chase, but it's negligent, wrong very illegal, then kicked us out of court! Just for Her to then get an attorney, proceeded to take us downtown to Court Fort Worth TX. She lies under oath and tells them she's never gave me permission to be on premises, THEN I lose twice in these Court proceedings downtown.Fort Worth!! Strike 2 Thanksgiving and Christmas of 2018 I spent homeless, I worked at AT&T Stadium for Andy frame security Corp. I've walked from Fort Worth 6 1/2hours to Arlington to work, completed my hours at the job successfully. Then made it back home, with the same amount it took to get there! Only to be shortchanged @!! of my overtime hours!! Yet again, nothing was done about lost wages! Civil matter... In 2019 I'm going to try even harder... while homeless, I received the voucher for $800 from the Salvation Army(HELPFUL). I receive another job as a "Lead"maintenance technician for Parkside Apartments Hurst TX, & Ridgmar Plaza Apartments Fort Worth TX. Management assured me that I wouldn't have a problem for 6 months living in the property! Upon the completion of several units ahead of schedule, on both properties. I asked management for a copy of my lease to move my son from the south side to the west side for school, never happened but in a week's time... I was again evicted for my property, have both of my vehicles (no assigned parking) lights illegally shut off(NOT FROM ELECTRIC Co) & still in the dark! $14 an hour, No overtime!! Mind you, my day starts out cleaning up Ridgmar Plaza.(7@m)Leaving from Fort Worth going to Hurst.(By 9@m)Finishing up the day at Hurst... 2 then come home 2 Ridgmar Dr apartments!! No travel fees & wouldn't make it home till after 6 p.m. then answered any service call she had! I think I went above and beyond for the great state of Texas!! With no one to turn to, who can I trust?? Can someone please help me make my next move the best move?!!!!! Sincerely, lost on the road to success Mr.Hendersonville

Employed after 1yr wait...

So glad I didn't give up. Finally, after moving to a new state 2,000miles from the previous one, I got hired in a good fit position. Although I went through an agency, it happened so fast to my surprise & the team I work for is very cohesive. The journey was very VERY hard while battling homelessness & sadness along with my husband. It was such a culture shock as a result of moving and a challenge, but made it through it all. Keep hope alive everyone. Keep moving forward. No matter what it takes, persevere. I speak life to you all looking for employment this day.

Why the trouble?

I am having a vety dufgicult time trying to land even an interview! I had to resign frim my position as Legal Assistant from my previous employer due to the near impossible working situation I found myself in. I do feel lije I just wasted the past 6 years of my life but I have stable skills and have been applying everywhere to no avail. It is getting harder and harder every passing day to stay positive. I am very depressed and even considering leaving my family ti find work back home in FL. I am not sure I can make it in this tiny TN town anymore.

Relocating

Hi everyone, I've applied to more than 15 positions in GA ( I live in the NJ/MY area), and I've only had one interview - I didn't get the position. I have more than 16 yrs in higher education; any suggestions to obtain employment in GA? Thanks

Relocation Dilemma

So I’m at a loss.

I’m trying to relocate down to Los Angeles from Oregon and I’m applying for jobs through Indeed mainly on a daily basis. I get emails and phone calls about going in for interviews and the second I say that I’m attempting to move down there they clam up and later say “not interested” either over the phone or via email. Even when I say that I’m traveling down there in mid April it gets awkward. I’m having 2 interviews while I’m down there and I’m irritated that I’m not getting more as I know I have the qualifications they’re looking for and I made that clear in both my resume and cover letter. I have also went to my current boss to look into a job transfer process but i don’t know how that will go.

My question is should I just cut my losses and move there without a job to better my chances of actually getting better opportunities? Or just stay and blindly apply? Almost all of them won’t agree to a phone interview
