Bad News

Well some depressing news today....Both of the really good job leads that I had turned out to be flops. The one company that I was called twice from...after talking to a few different people...turns out to be a scam. I guess several people have had some issues with Primerica and their part/full time options and the fact that you work independently and try to sell life insurance to all of your friends and family. Not my thing...so I canceled that interview.

Then this other one I was so excited about because they had called me the day after I submitted my resume and asked me to come in for an interview. Two days later, I've already got a letter in the mail saying the "thanks but no thanks" line. What a bummer.

Well as I stated in my last post, to update you all, I've been working at Sam's Club for almost 3 months now. Not very long but I'm already ready for a change. I've decided the marketing aspect isn't too bad, its just the retail part that bugs me. So I've been actively putting in my resume pretty much everywhere and I mean it too. I've stayed up an extra hour or two in the evening responding to 10-15 posts on monster.com every night. Finally it seems to be working out for me. So far I've heard from 2 or 3 businesses who were given my name via a recruiter and I've also had a few companies that I directly applied for call me back. Yesturday I got a phone call from a company that I had just applied for the day before and he was wanting me to come in for an interview later that afternoon. Thankfully I wasn't working yesturday so I was able to and this sounds promising. Can't jump to any conclusions though because I have another interview today with a different company

Side note...there's a funny story about today's interview. Yesturday, after my interview I got another call from the same co. I have an interview with Today wanting to schedule me for a different interview. Apparently this place has many different compartments and really is expanding. This lady wanted me to come in for an interview with her tomorrow about the same time I have my other one. At the time I told her no but when we finally had figured out that this was the same company just a different sector and literally located across the hall from the other office I guess I should have just said I'd be a little late but I could come and meet with her too.

So just wanted to let you in on some exciting stuff going on in life. Don't know where any of these may take me but there is definate potential.

Just take my advice if you are looking, put your resume on monster, set up with the free recruiting service they have (it will explain more in detail), and check and apply for new posts every day. But most of all PRAY that God will open up doors. Thats been my biggest thing and I'm hoping that one of these just might be that answer.

Have a great day ladies,
Stacy
