I have a new job!
I just started a job a month ago but it SO sucks and I am so underpaid and treated like a child. They lied to me about a lot of things and I absolutely hate it.
So I immediately started looking. Jobs have been few and far between and just crappy for the past few years. I wasn't expecting much. Two weeks ago I found three jobs online that I am very qualified for and would put me back into a position that is fitting for my experience and continue to further my career. I didn't get my hopes up. I know competition will be stiff and I may not even get an interview. Well.... I got interviews for them ALL.
All of them went well and I am going to accept one of the offers tomorrow. I could potentially make my biggest salary yet.
Now I just have to tell these people I can't work for them anymore. My boss is going to be a total prick about it. I just know it. Ugh. Can't say I blame him, because I am leaving so soon but he needs to treat his people better and not like children. I made friends with one lady there and she was so sad to hear I'm leaving. I told her I'd help her with her resume and let her know if I hear of any new jobs for her so she too can get the hell out of there as well.
Anyway, I'm excited to have a real big girl, career job again. The economy is improving.
Re: And some good news.
I'm in the same boat. Started a temporary job (that was supposed to end in April but may want me to be long term). This place is ridiculous and I can't take it. The hours suck. At first they were perfect, but now DH started a new job and there is no option for sitters/daycare for DS.
I have an interview Monday for a better position and better hours and I'm hoping I get it. I'm ready to walk out of this place too. The people are terrible to work for and I'm not the first person to say that. It's awful.
Well good luck to you on your job search! Here is to a better year.
