raliced,

Oh thank you so much for chiming in! I appreciate you sharing your story. I've noticed that looking for jobs online means there are thousands of applicants and while my resume is awesome and my experience extensive, I'm still 1 in thousands. That's a tough pill to swallow but, like you said, marathon. >sigh<

About 12 years ago I used to work at Starbucks. I have considered applying, yes. Just because it really IS a great company to work for, the health insurance for part time work is great, too (which is NOT the case at Banana). I think I can talk to H without it being a temperature taking discussion about where he feels we are as far as health insurance.

THIS is a big concern for me. Working to support your family through any means necessary isn't viewed through the right lens when prospective employers look at resumes for some reason. It's frustrating.
