Today we were...As Annette said, "I feel your pain." Today we were told that the job we had been training for with the Census Bureau was not going to have enough work for three weeks--much less the three months we had been led to expect--and would need only three people instead of the six they had hired. SO, today I am unemployed again. With a master's degree in English and the experience of writing an English workbook for a business college, you would think I could find SOMETHING. Unless I want to go to work in a nursing home pulling old folks up out of their beds, it doesn't look too promising in this area. Ok, here it comes...let's not give up hope.

I'm not sure why people have so much trouble understanding the value of transferable skills. I can't tell you the number of times I've lost out a job to someone with tons less experience, but who maybe was doing that exact same job somewhere else for a year or two OR the opposite where someone with 20-30 years of experience gets the job, which is just barely above entry level. I certainly can't compete with that, but I also have ambitions that these folks clearly don't have. I'm not sure I have much of a point here, other than the fact that I can relate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
