I really don't know what he would do if he were in my (and so many others) shoes. As he put it if ER had been on Friday night instead of Thursday night he might well have been back to selling ladies shoes. That's kind of how I feel right now. I got the Friday slot instead of the prime Thursday at 10pm slot but, instead of selling ladies shoes, I am writing this blog and still trying to find work 1 1/2 years after being laid off. I am going to incorporate thoughts and feelings on this subject as well as my observations on the life around me.
Please wish me "Good Night and Good Luck"!

I was without a job for over a year and a half too. It really sucked. Only I think it was harder for me because I got fired from my last job. New employers don't look highly upon fired employees.
ReplyDeleteSome interviewers never asked why I left my last job so I got lucky there. I never volunteered the information if they didn't ask. I finally decided the best way to put it when asked is that it wasn't a good fit.
I interviewed for one job and I'm pretty sure that the reason I didn't get hired is because I hadn't worked in awhile. The interviewer didn't exactly say that, of course! But once he realized how long it'd been since my last job, I could see his face fall.
I went back to school and am hoping it's for the best. I also work part time at a very, very, very boring job. That job makes me appreciate the education I'm getting in that hopefully I won't ever have to work jobs like this again.
I hope you've found work by now and if not, good luck!
Wish you had continued with this blog.
