Job Update: I Did Not Get The Job

When something does come up, I hope it's something really great!

Now I know why I invented my own work at home job. no not really. I had 5 children and wanted to stay home til all of them were in school. After that I wanted to get out amongst the workforce. I did a lot of temping. (working at temporary work agencies) I landed some pretty good jobs as I dressed right, worked right, and made sure I was always on time and polite. I landed a temp position with a major company. When I went in and found out what they wanted me to do, none of their employees wanted this position. Within 2 weeks I had not only figured this position out but loved the job. However I did not need medical as I was married and my husband provided that for us and I felt that someone else needed the hiring positions. This position was very time consuming and taught me a lot. the job I did was so important that when the home office would call they would ask to speak to me over my manager in the dept. After I had been in this job for about 8 months the dept manager come and asked me to hire on. I said no thank you. A couple more months come by and here she come again. I said I cant hire on because I was planning a trip to Canada. They promised me they would work around my trip etc. So finally they hooked and baited me. There was a lady that had worked there in a different position and she quit the company. I went in with other new employees and sat in on what looked like my first day ever there. Went through all the paperwork, rules, etc, and at noon here come my manager asking if they were done with me yet processing in. I got finished about an hour later and made it to my managers desk. Told her I was completely hired in and that is when they took me to the Dept Manager and told me I had been given a different position and that another Temp(remember the lady above that quit?) would be taking MY position that I learned and trained on by myself for this company. I did not hire on for the position they gave me and they had even told me that if I did not hire on they were going to have to hire someone for that position and the job would end for me. From Temp to hire after all my dedication to the company I got 25cents for hiring on. A year later on my review, they told me my work was quality but that I had laxed in the first position I had and needed to do that too. they gave me a 3% raise which was nothing basically. I went out waited for my wage to increase. it took them over 3 months to instill the adjusted amount and pay the back pay on the increase. the minute I got my check, I came in the next morning before the others, cleared my desk, put my company card in an emvelope to my area manager, and walked out. you have no idea how it felt like a noose had been lifted off me. Probably the best company I ever worked for was HSN (Home Shopping Network) I loved the job. But that was when I got ill and became disabled or I would probably still be working there. you probably have a sense of knowing what is best for you. I know I always did and did right not only for myself but making sure I worked for companies I could really like working for. good luck finding a new job I know its tough now in this economy

Interviews can be very educational. I hope something great opens up for you.

There are people who have been looking for work for over two years, Tina. At least it seems as if the job market is opening up again but I think it will be slow going for a while. We are just not out of the recession yet, I don't care what the 'indicators' are showing. If the price of gasoline doesn't come down to manageable levels, I think growth is going to be further impeded. I do wish you the best with finding other work, however. It's good that you're not destitute and out of work completely. Keep the feelers out and hopefully your dream job will show itself.

Sorry to hear that the job did not come through. I am a believer that sometimes things happen for a reason and at times when one door closes another opens. Best of luck and since you have sent a great deal of applications and resumes you may soon get lots of interviews soon.

Yeah, I agree, finding something valuable requires a lot of patience. Although it is not always the prestige or the money involved in a job but the most important thing is you are happy with what you are doing. Just imagine yourself inside a small office and you are hating your job every hour of the day you are there. That is hell, for sure. And I truly agree God will always be there to guide you just pray and ask for his divine intervention.

Sorry to hear about the job. Sometimes things happen for a reason and maybe you were not supposed to get this job. I'm glad you realize that maybe it was for the best. I am sure you will get something soon.

I guess it is a good experience even if you didn't get the job. But you are right, trusting God will get you through until what you need comes along. In the meantime so many of us will be praying for you. It's got to be frustrating.

Yeah. I am so sorry to hear that you didn't get the job. Maybe it was not meant for you to begin with. I hope something alot better will come along for you.

keep plugging away. God has something for you out there. just pray for strength and guidance. hugs!

Oh no, not a good idea to go from one stressful job to another. That's defeating the whole purpose of finding another job. Like you've said before, God is in control. I believe that as much you do! When the right job comes about, you'll know and it's really meant to be, God will see it through. So hang in there sweetie!!

Some things are not really meant for anyone. Even though how hard we try to get one thing we have our eyes set on, sometimes, it does not happen that way. Perhaps, God has another plan for us. All we have to do is to just accept and follow what God desires for us.

Hi, I really like your perspective in lookin to your self, the way you face the problem. you are right my friend just be patience. Surely God is preparing a good surprise on you. Keep in touch with God, He will never fails you. Godbless.

everyone wants to find suitable employment work happy every day toleam something more at work wish you could find a good job

Well I have always believed that God would not give us more than we can handle and perhaps you would not have been able to hand this stressful job given the fact that you do have health issues. Good for you that you can recognize the value of not getting the job there are many people that would have taken the news badly. Good luck.

I have faith that with prayer and persistance, both things you're good at, you'll find a much better place for you in this world. I rejoice in your future better job and give thanks because I know it will happend, eventually.

Hello Tina ! I will tell you what someone else told me a while back when i was searching for a place to work too, other then Ubisoft: " you should be happy that you have a job ". So don't get upset over not getting this job, maybe it was not right for you and i see you are leaning toward my thought as well. A better one will come soon even if you have to wait for a while. It might pop up when you least expect it so be ready :). Take care, Alex.

Sorry you didn't get that job..maybe your right though...maybe it was for the best. Great attitude. You have a lot of resumes out there and alot of faith. Good luck and take care.

I know that it feels like a punch that you didn't get the job that you were hoping that you would be getting. However, I do have to admit that I am the kind of person that believes that everything that happens in our lives happens for some kind of a reason. So though you might not be exactly sure of the reason that you didn't get this job, there is going to be something that will come along soon that will be a much better fit for you.

Don't give up and I am sure some day you will get other job. Best wishes and good luck~
