Last week and this week have been extremely exciting for me. I had two interviews last week. Of course, one was a phone interview. Monday and today I had follow up interviews from both. Another interview in scheduled Friday.

The phone interview was my third from a Company I would LOVE to work for. I think it could be such a wonderful fit for both of us. I am hoping and praying I will get one more interview and then an offer.

The job search continues. This week, I had two phone interviews, I think they went well, but just because you think they went well is not an indication you are in the running for another interview. The only thing you can do is to trust and have faith. We all know if God brings you to it, He will bring you through it. I am waiting faithfully for my breakthrough.

I really do not like phone interviews; you never know wh...

Job Fairs, what can I say!!! I have gone to two this year and both have been extremely disappointing. Today, I was expecting 20 or more companies and less than 10 were there.

Now, please understand this will not stop me from attending. I will continue and hopefully I will find that company that is looking for me.

The job search continues with more hope than ever before. I have selected a recruiter and he has put me in touch wit...

Hello everyone, thanks again for all your comments, prayers and positive thoughts sent my way. A special thanks to Mr. Mike for his advice, Ms. Michelle and Stewart for your kinds words and prayers.

The interview went very well, preparing for the interview of course is another story. The position is commission only and that is a bit intimidating. The company is looking for someone with a track record of commission sales,but they though...

Today, I thought I would take a break from job searching. Well, that didn't happen. I just had to check e-mail. Are we addicted to our laptops?
 
I checked e-mail and Indeed.com had sent five jobs that I was qualified for. And yes, I sent a resume to each of them. 

Sunday is the only day that I can discipline myself from checking my e-mail. This day is for worshiping and spending time with friends and family. I even try not...

It is very hard not being employed . You become very sad when you know you did everything you were suppose to do and more, yet you are one of the many in this situation of not having a job. I can not let this sadness linger. I have set goals and I must keep a positive attitude in order to achieve them.

My first goal is to obtain employment, I wish I could continue going to school full time until I receive my certificate, but this is no...

Today, I woke up with so much hope. This hope came from the many wonderful emails and phone calls I received after the segment last night. Thank you to everyone who called and emailed. Please continue to keep me and so many others in the same situation in your thoughts and prayers.

I have an interview on Monday and hopeful more to come. The position is in sales and this is something I haven't done but I am willing to learn.

Hi, my Name is Bertha Ann Garrett my career started with Stein Mart August 1995. My career ended January 06, 2009 at 8:45 am. This was the day I was told I no longer had a job with Stein Mart. Surely, this was a mistake; this could not be happening to me. One who had given so much to a company and a position that I was very passionate about. As I walk to my car I thought how will I tell my family, friends that I had lost my job. What would I d...
