Hi Canadagirl,
If my headhunter really wanted me for that temp to hire job, she could have tried to get the employer to let me start in the afternoon, but she didn't, she just called someone else who was able to start the next morning. She gets paid when the person is placed, and I can't really blame her. I am to blame for my stupidity in thinking I'd get the job after I job shadowed that morning. I should know better, I've been turned down for over 100 jobs, I'm not exagarating, I truly am a failure. Yes, as my T says I keep trying, and that takes courage, but I can't take much more of this. I can't face getting another mindless boring job, either and sticking it out until I can retire. I will not be a failure at 50, so no way I'l be one at 62.
I would love to have my own business. I do write a good resume. The problem is I need to have a steady income, as it is my unemployment check barely contributes anything to the house. My husband doesn't earn enough to support both of us, I need to get a job to help pay expenses as well as give me self esteem. Writing resumes is something I could do on the side, but I don't know how I would sell myself/business. I can't do sales, because I can't take being turned down. I admire you that you do sales for a living, I wouldn't be able to easily say *I'll get the next one* and keep on going. That takes a skill that I don't have and as I said I admire you for having.
Thank you for being so positive. I can't be anything close to it right now, thank you for being it for me.
