My friend got your resume and will keep his eyes and ears open.

Have you considered taking a night job so your days are free for interviewing... fast food, coffee shop, hotel... something?

I don't know.



I DO KNOW and it WAS the right thing not to acknowledge it. I had my 14th in July in the midst of all this and it was also her birthday on top of it. I said nothing to her about either. There is nothing for us or for you to celebrate. It means nothing anymore unless you are working together towards a reconciliation. Otherwise, nothing.

The fact that you really didn't even think about it should speak volumes.

Hang in there LSG.

DanF,

You are right, and I know that. I don't know why I need someone to tell me what I doing is the right thing to do. I feel like I need to validate everything I doing lately.

I was not selected yet by the hiring manager for an interview. I have been contemplating telling the recruiter about my situationa and what is going on, but I just do not know if that is the best thing for me to do right now. I guess I know the answer, but I know him fairly well, and it could be a good choice too.

I am desparate, and desparate people do desparate things. I can't get scared now, can I.

I have to keep the faith that everything will be okay for me and the kids.

Thanks!

DO NOT!!!

I am in a professional world and this would come across weak and whiny. You will get no sympathy from potential hirers.

Plus you lose any bargaining power over your salary. They will see desperation and pin you down.

pookie69,

I know you are right. I need to be kept inline, so I do not make any mistakes.

I am glad everyone here will tell me the way it is. I need that with my desparation being so high at the moment.

Thank you so much!!!

Remember, LSG:

Confident

Calm

Cool

That's who you are now regardless of the pressure you may be feeling. You can control your feelings about yourself. Project that aura and they will notice. I'm sure your resume speaks for itself. Now you have to sell you to them. Chin up and do it.

You have a lot of people here behind you.

IDU,

You are so right. I need to keep calm, cool, and in control. I still have time. I cannot lose it now. I have come too far.

I did talk to a hiring manager that I had talking to two weeks ago, and he said he would have his secretary give me call tomorrow to set up an interview. He was surprised that I was not called already.

You are right that I can do this. I have to do this.

I will keep you guys updated. This could be the one or not, but I will be okay no matter what.

Thanks!

LSG,

I hope your resume is no longer than 1 page. You need to get the attention.

Stand up straight, never lean forward unless you did not hear the question. Speak slowly with confidence. If you don't know what to do with your hands hold your fingertips together. Look in the eye of the interviewer. Don't look at the ceiling when answering.

Don't overdress for the position you're looking for.

Never admit that you don't know the answer.

"No sir, I have not had any experience with this particular ________, but I like challenge and will always find the right way to accomplish the task successfully.

Good luck my friend.

LSG, you are getting some really great advice here as usual. Agree completly with IDU and pookie. You CAN do this, in fact you have been...

I've been told several times to expect these ups and downs. I've had several and they will pass, just let the stress and anxiety out (when your alone) and you will feel much better.

You have told me, and I am now paying it back: hang in there. Don't give up, it will pass and tomorrow will be better. It hurts but we both know it deep down.

I'm also on the ALT, look for dadoneboy if you want to talk more.
