Dave Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 (edited) Some of you may remember me saying that I found a job opportunity as staff writer at a parenting magazine in Atlanta. Well, I didn't get the job. They didn't even interview me or offer to do so despite the fact that I was VERY well qualified! Nor did the person in charge of it ever return my calls when I tried to arrange an interview. Seems like I always managed to get her voice mail. I truly believe she was trying to avoid me. I'm losing faith and wondering if I'll ever find a job. As if that wasn't enough, my birthday is Friday, but thanks to this and other stuff that has been going on in my life it won't be a very happy one. Edited November 17, 2004 by Dave
azaelia Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 I'm sorry Dave. My dad is going through the exact same thing, so I have an idea of how it must feel. My prayers are with you.
Sojourner Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 Dave, I'm sorry. I know how demoralizing a job search can be. I'm sure that something will turn up eventually. Prayers.
Lil Red Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 prayers dave...i just heard a bunch of my friends got laid off, so my prayers are going up for you. -_-
Brother Adam Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 About the only jobs you can get in GR right now are through manpower and nursing.
the_rev Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 Dave is in the Journalism field I do believe.
Iacobus Posted November 18, 2004 Posted November 18, 2004 I know the job issue, but it is supposed to get better soon, at least that is the prediction.
Azriel Posted November 18, 2004 Posted November 18, 2004 :heart: prayers kiddo, you know you got 'em.
Birgitta Noel Posted November 18, 2004 Posted November 18, 2004 That's awful Dave, I'm so sorry. I know it's hard to see the master plan through all this. Keep the faith my friend. You'll be rewarded in the end!
Paladin D Posted November 18, 2004 Posted November 18, 2004 [quote name='Brother Adam' date='Nov 17 2004, 05:28 PM'] What line of work are you in? [/quote] He's a journalist.
Dave Posted November 18, 2004 Author Posted November 18, 2004 (edited) [quote name='popestpiusx' date='Nov 17 2004, 05:26 PM'] Come to VA. I'll give you a job. [/quote] Do tell. Man, when it rains it pours. This is just the latest in a string of bad things to happen to me. And it just makes the previous bad things to happen (losses, to be exact) hurt so much worse.
