I haven't answered those questions and thanks for asking.

The word from my friend at Laurel Ridge is that they were impressed with me and found me to be very professional, but fear I am too young to work with troubled teenagers.
My friend also suspects that the hiring committee felt I was not"ghetto enough" for that kind of work. Those were her words.


I have applied for several other jobs.

One of them is a job as a student counselor at Sac- a position which is still open for people to apply for. Once that process is over, interviews begin- probably in the next few weeks.

I applied and interviewed for a position as a receptionist at the AT&T arena. I felt things went well and was semi optimistic about my chances. However,
I just received a letter that they have selected another applicant for the job.
(I had assumed that was or was about to be the case, since it had been several weeks since I was interviewed and no one had called to follow up.)

Thankfully, I do have some work tonight and all day tomorrow as a temp nanny.
I am registered with an agency and hope to pick up jobs with them while I continue to apply and interview.

I think that the Terrace Club will ask me back. If I am still available to return at that point, I certainly will.

I'm sorry Angel
God knows that I really wanted you to get that job since I know you would have been perfect for it. But don't give up my friend. When you least expect it, God will bless you with an awesome job.

I like my job.


Its pretty good money, lots of travel though, but I like the work.


Whatever that means.

Find something that you love to do as a hobby or a passion you have outside of work - and look for a job in that area. Don't be afraid to start at the bottom, even if you have to work two jobs for the time being.

I love my job now more than anything - I don't mind working late, or going in on off days if stuff needs to be done. I don't count the hours until 5, and I love the people I work with. I just pursued what I was interested in, and looked for jobs in that field, and it paid off.

Well - I like working in sports, and I like being the boss.... so I started my own company. It's a good time!

My current job is boring the out of me. Problem is, I've worked here for almost two years now, they've offered me a full time job, and I'm pretty comfortable and like the people I work with.

I find myself bored to death everyday I come in to work (hence the reason my post count has gone up during the day). I'm too lazy to go looking for another job...I hate going through the process of applying, going on interviews, writing up thank you letters, etc etc. It's a pain in the ass and starting August I won't have much time to concentrate on that because I am take some night classes.

Do you all like your job? And if so, how the heck did you guys ever find something you'd love to do every single day?

First, you could always start your own business. Really.

Second, you may get lucky and one day find one. But I think most
people are much like you. Just cant be bothered looking for something
else.

My mom is a Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) and she has been doing this for over 40 years. She is one of the few people I know who still gets up every day and absolutely loves going to work. It was her dream career and she was able fulfill it. She had to work hard to do it. Divorced with 4 girls ranging in age from 3 months to 5 1/2 years while going to Anesthesia School for 3 years , and she was our sole support. But she has never regretted a minute of it.
My career was in Medical Sales and I loved it as well. I think I could have continued it forever if I hadn't gotten sick. It was always challenging and fun for me.

Sick? You seem very HEALTHY to me!

I'm pretty lucky, if I had my pick of any job in the world, I'd take the one that I currently have and working for the boss I currently work for. I've been with my company for 10 years, it hasn't always been blissful but the people I work with have literally seen me grow up and are like family to me. The job I do is a perfect combination of my strengths and talents, I make good money and my boss doesn't mind me taking off now and then for a basketball game.

I think the key is really figuring out what your dream job is and then figuring out what steps you need to take to get there.

Kira You!

What the ? Stop polluting threads, you dip .

WTF does what I look like have to with how healthy I am? I have lupus and I fight it every day of my life. That's why I take oral chemo and a trillion other meds. But what you see on the outside is due to a good outlook on life and a supportive family behind me.
