Recently in Bertha Garrett CategoryLast 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.

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. Job Fairs, what can I say!!!

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. My ... 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.
