Jumping Through Hoops Of Fire For A Job, Part 1

Moi is going to be down right honest, blunt, matter or fact. Not that I have not always been, but I am going to tell you the truth, the sad reality of what it is like for people that are just trying to get ahead. For those that want to get a job, to work, to feel worth something again. To know that tomorrow morning when I wake there is something there, something to wake up for. Some people are happy with waking up for food, drugs, alcohol, family, kids, a spouse, etc… But Moi needs more then that, I need to feel it in my soul, on my terms. I want to know I am making a difference, I have no kids, and I don’t do drugs, ok so I have some alcohol like wine once and a while. I have family and someone that knows when my heart is breaking into millions of tiny pieces because of someone else. Because no one will give me a chance. One little chance.

Like a lot of Americans, Moi has been looking for work. Seven days a week, and on average I apply for 10-30 jobs a day. What I have learned is that what you read online is not always true. The bulk of the jobs online that are posted on job banks, company websites and such are not even open, available jobs.

I have applied for the jobs that pay min. wage, I apply for jobs that I am most likely to qualified to do, but I have too. I have no choice. I NEED an income somehow. I will share with you examples of recent interviews and what happened, or lack of.

I will tell you this, I DO NOT APPLY for positions that I am unqualified for. I do not believe in wasting my time or anyone else’s.

The following postings are all REAL LIFE experiences…..

Follow my journey, tune in, I do this to warn you, and educate you, on the cold reality of what I have endured.

I encourage you to tune in to the next installments titled: Jumping through Hoops Of Fire.
