Check your mailbox. I responded to your pm

That's great news about the interview. I hope it goes well.

If not, may I recommend making the rounds at the temp agencies? I don't know about your area, but here they are being used A LOT by employers to hire people. Sometimes for short assignments, sometimes as a way to evaluate a person before offering them a full time position.

Also, depending on where you live, another job hunting resource is Craigs List. Its a website located in several major cities. Go to WWW.craigslist.org. I think this brings you to the San Francisco site, but on the far right you'll see a list of other cities that have Craigslists sites.

Sorry about loosing your job -- GREAT news about the interview! goodl uck! And definately send that thank you letter!


(note to self... send a thank you note for the interview I had last week)

[CalliesMom]

I just don't understand how employers can treat their people this way. I hope everything going well with the job interview and yes, thank you card work great!! When I interviewed for my PhD, I sent a thank you card to the everyone and my "soon to be" advisor emailed me back and offered me a position.

Will keep positive thoughts for tomorrows interview.

You guys are AWSOME!!! Thanks for all the suggestions, and advice. I haven't been unemployed for many years!! I have been on four different online sights with local jobs and have submitted several resumes.
The thank you note is a wonderful idea. It was funny Meg because exactly what you wrote as a thank you note is what I said in my cover letter!! When I sent my resume to this company they weren't even hiring so maybe it did some good.
Laura! You made me cry!!! Thank you so much for that very kind and considerate offer! If I could get my hands on you I would just have to give a great big 'ol kiss and hug! That was so sweet!
Hubby and I are not proud people. We will do whatever it takes to keep our home and fur family up and running. Scrubbing floors doesn't bother me! We have a lot of family support too. My mom has offered to take out money on her line of credit until we can get our stock payoffs so that is an option.
We will be fine and I just KNOW it! I'm actually getting kind of excited at some new prospects. You have to be shaken up in this life sometimes and its all in how you land. I have lived with so many cats for so long that I have no doubt I will land on my feet!!!
Mina's momma, I have pm'd you and I will also email you. I can't thank you enough!
Bless all of my wonderful PT friends and family. Man, what did I do before I found you all?

Oh, Lisa, I am so sorry. Prayers are on the way to help with the interview tomorrow. I hope you will feel better super soon, too. All the fur therapy is bound to help. Big hugs from me and Briggs, too - Bobbi

I am so sorry about your rotten Valentines Day. Just goes to show, some of these holidays aren't worth the paper they are printed on!

I join with everyone else here - with prayers, good thoughts, lots of love heading your way.

And my 5 would be honored to share their stuff with your 12 (?) - anytime, anyplace, anyhow.

What a great quote! I'd like to have that done in needlepoint!

What a lousy thing for your employer to do! The very best of luck with your interview--I'm sure your positive attitude will win them over!

All fingers, paws and tails are crossed here for that job interview tomorrow!! This HAS to work out, it just has to!!!

[val]

Congrats on the interview and wishing you lots and lots of good luck !

[Edwina's Secretary]

Be sure and ask for business cards from each one you talk to. That way you can make sure you spell their name correctly in your thank you not. Also will give you their email address if they have one.

I agree...many times I have seen the thank you note make a difference in a "close" selection process.

OMG, Lisa, I'm so sorry! I read your post at the beginning with tears in my eyes . . . they dried as I read all the wonderful posts from these awesome PT'ers, and then I cry again when I hear that you have an interview!

God is working here, you have to believe that He has a PLAN!!!

COME ON, PT . . . Get on your knees & pray for Lisa & her hubby! They both deserve a good life and we know that God will provide!

Lisa, one thing I've learned over the years is that you've got to pray for yourself and you HAVE TO HAVE FAITH that God will provide. Put this in his hands and He WILL provide for you both!

Take care, sweetie! You're in my thoughts & prayers!

[QueenScoopalot]

Well Lisa..I guess you saw it coming, but chin up...things will get better! Hope the interview goes wonderfully for you, and you don't have to rely on unemployment for long. While you and hubby are home...kisses all around for all who'll accept them. And ((HUGS)) to you and hubby. Keep us posted, and we'll all be keeping you in our prayers!
