I need fingers crossed!!

[blowry]

I have been unemployed since May and actively looking for a job since then...I have received my last unemployment check (today) I have sent out several resumes, filled out many applications and had been on interviews...None of them have come through for me...well, today I went on an interview (secretary) and they want me back again tomorrow for a second interview!!! I pray they hire me....With Christmas just around the corner this would be the best early gift I could get...Please keep those finger crossed!!


Thank you everyone!

Thank you Brenda! It's nice meeting you too! that is very sweet of you..I had my second interview this afternoon...they are calling me tomorrow with a salary offer...I am going to take the job regardless of the salary..I have received my last unemployment check today...so I have to take something.

Thank you everyone!! they are supposed to be calling me tomorrow with a salary offer..I have to take this job regardless of the pay...I got my last unemployment check today...Unemployment is at it's worst right now where I live...I have had many interviews, filled out so many applications and sent out so many resumes that I can't even remember how many...This isn't a big company and isnt' something that I would have chosen if I had more time to look but I need the money...especially with Christmas right around the corner...they are very very nice people , Maybe this IS the right one...I will let you all know tomorrow what happens but, it sure looks like they are offering it to me..

Thanks for all your good positive thoughts and prayers girls...Looks like they worked!

Brenda, I'm SO GLAD for you!!!

I really didn't choose my current job either... was lured to it by an offer of 12% more than I'd been told it paid when I applied and the convenience of working very near home. For the most part, I like it and am glad I took it.

I hope you find the same with this new job. Just to have a job now will be a blessing the way it sounds, but if the people you work with/for are decent, that's a great bonus. So here's hoping this is a good fit for you and turns out to be a nice spot for you to have landed.

Please keep us posted!

Sometimes the positions we get are not what we would have chosen, but end up being the best and most rewarding. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for you. Let us know something when you find out....

Thank you everyone!

Do you only get unemployment for so long? what happens if you cannot get employment is there any thing else you can claim. Have been very lucky to have not been in that situation however I think it's all a little differant over here seems some people never work for years and still get unemployment. Good luck in your search for a new job.

We do get unemployment here but, only a certain amount. The employer pays unemployment insurance and the amount you receive depends on how my you have in your "bank" once that is gone...it's gone....Mine is now gone...I have never had such a hard time finding a job..

I was supposed to hear on the job I interviewed for yesterday..no call and, they did say they were calling me...told me that the interview went very well...blah, blah, blah! When I left from my second interview I was lead to believ that I had the job..they were going to be calling me back with the salary...well I haven't gotten a call back!! I have been looking for a job since May...there are not alot of jobs in my area right now for clerical but, I have even applied at wal-mart, cvs, etc....God I hope something comes up soon...I have been sooo depressed lately and the thought of getting this job just made me feel so much better and now....no call.

Oh man! I'm so sorry that they haven't called you. Did they give you a number to call to get in touch with them? I'll keep my fingers crossed for you... maybe they just got busy and they'll call you on Monday

Thanks...yes I called yesterday afternoon, I was told she was home with her sick son and they would get back to me later in the day....they didn't. And, I called this morning...she was there but on the phone so I left a message...still no call...I am thinking they will call Monday also...but, I just wish they hadn't told me they were going to call me yesterday...and then to not return my call...I will be 50 in March...I am not an "old" 50...and I don't look my age...but, I am still going to be 50...I hope to God this isn't why I am not getting hired....I am just so down right now..
