Guess who got a Job!!!!
My sweetie called me a couple of weeks ago really frustrated. Work was on his last nerve and he suggested I find a job. We have talked about me finding a job for the last couple of years but what is a 46 year old woman to do? Who would hire s woman that hasn't worked in a quarter of a century? I have gone to college. I even have a medical transcription degree but never used it. I planned to work from home but the program shut down and I wasn't able to work in a business away from home since I homeschooled my kids. That was ok though. My wrist bothered me throughout the program and I realized that I probably wouldn't make it as a transcriptionist. I do have a small business where I flip things. I buy electronics, cell phones, iPods, video games, and even musical instruments. I am a determined woman though. I got he said look and I did. I pulled up my resume and updated it. I found jobs and started applying. I applied for an office job, at an airline and at a popular retail store. I was rather flippant as I answered questions on the applications. No I won't work holidays, no, I won't work Friday or Saturday. I asked for an unreasonable salary. I mean really. What did I have to lose? The next day I got an email requesting an interview. I wasn't nervous as I answered the questions. I left knowing they wouldn't hire me. I haven't interviewed in 28 years. So, You can imagine my surprise when I got a call telling me that I was hired. So tomorrow after being out of the workplace for 25 years, I'm going to work. Wish me luck.
