I can't believe it happened again

I'm out of the running for YET ANOTHER job. This time is completely my fault. I failed the test they gave me. I wasn't fast enuff. 30 questions in 35 minutes. Each question had at least two graphs from which to extract data and solve the problem. I only finished about 19. It wasn't enuff.

As of April 1st, I'm living off of my student loan refunds. I can't take care of 5 kids properly with that. I'm just at my wit's end.

I feel myself getting closer to depression everyday. I'm trying to hold on but after 10 or so years, a bitch's hand gets sweaty and slippery. Then again, what alternative do I have?

 

I am sooo sorry! Things can only get better right?

 

Maybe take some job that isn't ideal until you can get the idea job? Good luck.

 

You have 5 kids?

 

Hi Lucky. I'm only saying this so you guys can understand. I've tried. I can't even get on at the damn call center. I have a engineering degree. I've applied at the mall. They don't want me or my degree. I'm over-qualified but don't have any engineering experience. I've even considered omitting my degree from my applications so I can get SOMETHING. But then thats when the bitch in me wakes up. That damn degree 'bout killed me, shit, the magna cum laude cost me about four 45 hour days a month. And I worked parttime but it was at school because its hard to have 8 classes and drive somewhere else for work. I'm confused. How can a fairly smart, hard-working mother cannot get work to support her family? For example, if I were to get a temp job (and I AM registered with an agency) for maybe $10 an hour, then my bills go up. I end up with less money. So I have to make a certain amount to keep us above water hence the degree. But Virginia not the best place for this. Point being, I'm not complaining. I'm asking for ideas. This is my fault, I am responsible for me. But I thought when I was staying up all night, showing up to my 8am class in two different shoes, and doing homework in the stands at my kids' game that I was making things better.

Sorry about the rant but this one hit me hard. Its the 4th or 5th time I've been passed over for a job I knew I could do well. I guess God knows better. I just want my babies out this place, this apartment, this neighborhood before these bad ass kids around us corrupt my kids. We got to go....soon.

Thanks for the suggestion though, Lucky. i appreciate it. When I write, I vent so don't take anything personally. I just wanted you to know that I had come to the same conclusion.

And tomorrow is another day, full of resume uploading:computer: . It will be OK and I know it. *remembers she has faith in God* Its already Ok.






















































Pay very little attention to the hormonally imbalanced woman that wrote the above rant.

 

Yup. Five smart, beautiful, and destructive kids. I joke that I live in a zoo, a happy, interesting, blessed, sometimes wonderful zoo but a zoo nonetheless.

 

Maybe the jobs you are applying for are not the right ones. The right one will come your way. I can feel it. Its just a sign that the job is not the right one. One will come and you wont even be looking.

 

Well, I understand how frustrating it can be. Seems you're in a weird spot of being overqualified for much but have a lack of experience perhaps that would actually have you get the jobs you are qualified for by your degree? It defiantly sounds like an annoying and frustrating situation though but it appears you at least have a good attitude. The only thing I can really say then is just to not give up and keep looking. You're bound to find something good that will make it all worth it in the long run.

 

cheer up
things are going to improve
