Thankfully it is not a fabric store!!! LOL It is a family owned electronics store. Long hours 9-7 -50 hrs a week. (NOT complaining) I already have enough fabric to fill literally an 8x10 room to the ceiling. My projects that I had started I am now putting them into see thru bags so I can readily keep track of which I need to finish first. As for the emotional security. You really start to question your personal worth and values when you have person after person turn you away. Some of the people that interviewed me were rude to the point of being mean. I sometimes wondered how they got and keep their position.

Jaciqltznok, I've always heard that God's timing is not our timing. I was in a terrible situation with my last job and prayed and prayed and applied and applied and six months later, my current job opened up. This job is truly a blessing from God and I thank Him everyday for it. Don't give up. The right job will be available when you most need it.

Congratulations!
It is really different world we live in now. I left a very bad situation in August of 08 after almost 10 years on the job and the death of my CFO. Found my first position after that November 1, 2010, Laid off Dec 14, 2010. Found another position Feb 2011, and left that the end of April. I found that I had a serious problem reading minds and not knowing what I was supposed to do. I also had a problem with being blamed for things I did not do.
I am now looking again, and how do I tell prospective employers why the last one did not work out? The rules say "do not talk down about your prevous job or employer"!. I am also one of the "age challenged" at 55 years young competing against younger, prettier, more educated, etc... applicants. I keep telling my self that when I am meant to be working I will be, BUT that does not pay the bills. I keep applying.
Also, Why is it these employers can be so rude as to not call you back? Just let me know you have decided on another candidate...
Sorry, I guess today is frustration day for me after applying for 6 jobs in the past 3 days...
Happy day
Susan
