    It didn't Public.... I had the interview - aced it really - thanks to Mr. Optimistic. He helped me nightly studying for the behavioral questions.... and it really did help!

    However, due to politics, and a 20 year old, who had a nameplate from the start, I didn't get the job....

    I will post a story regarding the whole issue....... so watch for it....

    Thank-you all!!! I am a little down about it, but I will bounce back... I am always looking for work and just want a place to be happy - do my job - do it well - and get paid well for a job well done.... it's all I am asking for yet, it seems to elude me continuously.....

    Actually Writes, it has indeed been a journey! I have FINALLY landed the job with my dream company and am extremely happy!

    I have been there over a year, 4 months as a temp, then I got on with a 1 year contract, which allowed me benefits, and just recently, Oct 1, I got on permanent!

    I'm so happy and grateful for the opportunity of this position.

    I now have a great job, amazing pay, awesome benefits, and a terrific team of people to work with! So, in the end, yes, everything has gone well... :-)

    Thank-you for all your comments and prayers! See? It all works!

    I've applied everywhere.
    I've applied for painting, receptionist, admin, data entry, floor waxing, cleaner, carpentry, handyman, retail, sales, marketing, management, security, government, Google, Yahoo, hahahaha, it's an absurd joke is what it is.

    I served my country as a US Navy Nuclear Reactor Operator and was discharged unjustly short of benefits or my service meaning anything in the business world and I fill out applications and send resumés 12 hours per day on top of having a part-time job with Jewel, for the past 5 months.

    I laugh when I notice I've clicked on the same places for the fifth time. Craigslist, CareerBuilder, MetroChicagoJobs, Monster and more - I annihilate their ads every day. It's absolutely insane.

    I agree - the economy is not what it was - but I am hoping things will get better for you and others in your position.

    I am Canadian - and live in the most prosperous province so it's a little easier here. Our economy isn't the best, but much better than the USA.

    I know that Obama will help get things back on track and that the States will be a booming country again. He HAS to - or the world could be doomed.....

    Good luck USN, I will keep you in my prayers....

    Hopefully it'll help, 'cause I'm homeless in 60 days and I've been in a lot of peoples prayers including my own lately.

    Thank you.

    I am so happy for you! I am twenty-six and have been working a minimum wag job due to the economy. I am hoping to get hired soon and start a career in the social work field.
