IN NEED OF ENCOURAGMENT I left my last job 4 months ago because it became to stressful. Since then I have been looking for an office job and even willing to take a cut in pay, however, I have been to several interviews and still nothing. I even went to an interview where I got the job and they offered me the salary which I accepted but then the next day they changed their mind. Who does that?. I can tell you not a professional. I am getting discouraged because I still cannot get a job. I know I am not alone but the funds that I had saved are depleted and still nothing. Anyhow thanks for listening and reading about my situation. I pray to God relieve comes soon. I am 56 year old and not ready to retire yet. Its still too early. Good luck to those who need it like myself.

Today I found out that the managers in the department I am now in complained to the store manager and our operations manager how my old department had the most people and that we dont do anything but walk around the store. These women, have never worked in recieving or in forfullment. How can they know so much about a department that has nothing to do with theirs? I am trying very hard to find someting else before I quit. I hate my job now. I am going to keep looking though. What I really want to do is write. I write science fiction and fantasy in my spare time. Its all I ever saw myself doing, writing novels, not stuck in some dead end job, and broke all the time

So here i am trying to find a job again. i quit my last job because i don't like when you say something and you do something else and it cause disagreement between me and my boss so i quit. i know it is difficult for me to find a job here in the state because I didn't study here and my experience was all from my island Tonga but I just can't stand decision when they make it as if one is special. Am I wrong or not??

If you quit a job for greener pastures, would you go back if things didn’t work out? What’s your pride-o-meter level 1-10? I am a 10. Too much pride is my ultimate demise. Ugh, I hate this about myself. Anyway, what about you?

I'm so frustrated when the owner of the company has no clue what I do for him. Not only do I do all of his Human Resource stuff, I also have 85% of the company that reports directly to me. I've taken on more work with no pay increase. I haven't had a raise in close to 7 years. So, now that I'm looking to leave the company to better myself and my kids lives now he is treating me like crap and jumping all over me for what other managers do wrong. I have every right to better myself. I've been working for him for 10 years. We are looking to move out of State but where we really want to go there isn't any decent paying jobs there. If anyone has any suggestions on what to do and on how to look for jobs in different states. Please let me know.

I got hired through a temp service for a CSR position. I like the position. However I'm not as fast as the other reps in clearing the calls out of the que. I would like to bow out gracefully before they let me go. Thoughts?

Yes you're frustrated and miserable with your current job.

But imagine the frustration and misery of long-term unemployment!

Before you throw in the towel remember this: job applicants who are currently employed are TWICE as likely to be interviewed and THREE TIMES MORE LIKELY TO RECEIVE A JOB OFFER THAN UNEMPLOYED CANDIDATES!

Wow!

Suddenly your current situation seems a little more bearable doesn't it?

I have a co-worker who I am supposed to work together with and lead our classroom, but acts as if I'm beneath her and she alone gets everything done. I'm trying to work with her but all the knit picking is annoying. I consider leaving on a daily basis.

So after being in a position for 6 months I gave my resignation. I have held a management position for 14 years and education for 14 . I do not take my career lightly. I was promised to be made into a supervisor , but I was told in the Spring that would not be happening, that I did not fit their culture. I was going to get a lawyer ,but they are so expensive. All their supervisors are under 35 and had been hired out of school. ( I was most of their instructor) . The company seems to be made up of women ages 20-35. a couple of 40 year old. but not to many over 50 like me. I was treated poorly , yet I feel guilty leaving that company. Has this happened to anyone? The quilt? I even offered to work per diem to help out. No one responded to emails or phone calls.

So in my previous experience with my last job I had no choice but to quit because 1) my stuff kept getting stolen and 2) I wasn’t paid enough to deal with the stresses of the job. I literally have warehouse experience and retail/ customer service experience. I have been unemployed for 3 weeks now been applying for warehouse jobs and retail jobs like crazy and it’s still not enough. It’s a struggle trying to find a good paying job with the experience that I have. All I keep getting is I’m not a ideal candidate for them and like I don’t understand like why you put the openings up and when someone needs a chance to show what potential they have they can never get it? I don’t know what to do. I’m struggling trying to find a stable job where it won’t stress me as much. Even applying for these warehouse jobs it is still a hassle. I want to learn new things and willing to learn, but how can I be willing to learn new things if these jobs won’t give me a chance to prove myself to them?
