SMALL UPDATE....I can't believe this! I JUST LOST MY JOB!!!!
Original post by Tatum&Steve
After 9 years of employment - I am out of a job at the end of January! I was laid off! What a SHOCK! AND MY 30th BDAY is Saturday ..
I guess I need hugs.,... I am sorry girls! I am stunned right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a way to start my 07 year! ******************** UPDATE! 1/11 - Hey girls, I just realized this was bumped due to a FM I received, I haven't really been on this week, I have been busy feeling sorry for myself, trying to find a job and deciding what I want to do, which is still up in the air, I have two interviews in the morning, one I know am not interested in, it is further than I am now doing the same work I am currently doing...not interested, but I figure i iwll be in the area for the first interview so why not get the 'interview experience'. The first one is at a staffing agency so I am HOPING they can help me figure out a job that I iwll love, seeing as they know what kinds of jobs are out there. So anywayk, I have good days and bad days, I am trying to get through this. I really again thank you all for your support and great advice, I will look into it all!
OH ps - FH threw me an AMAZING surprise 30th bday on Saturday, It was bitter sweet but an amazing night, I really should post some pics, but I have been lazy!

Thanks Dani - I will start posting my resume on those sites soon...that really is a great idea. I think I just have to let this settle for a few days.
Definitely!! Take some time to re-group!!!!
And you know what? You did nothing wrong- a lay off is NOT getting fired so another place will want to scoop your asss up!!!
AND again- just remember ALL the people that get jobs from those sites and ALL the girls that recommended them- they are doing so for a reason-- b/c they WORK! And you CAN do it b/c you are smart and dedicated...
And in the mean time, waitressing or hostessing at night will help hold you over... And you should take your time with job hunting-- don't settle and since you have severance don't say 'oh God, I'd better take the first job I can get'... Just remember, jobs are going to WANT you b/c of your reliable track record!!
So, feel good about yourself girly!!
never said that they didn't work, i said they can take a while...If that is an option then yes, definitely need to use all resources...If someone is looking for a job right away then a recruiter is the way to go...I got a job the next day, and i know people who have gotten it in a week or less...Also if they dont have jobs that you are interested in, they will send you out on temp jobs in the meantime, and the temp jobs don't pay that bad, its $21 an hour.
Just giving more options, which i don't think is a bad idea to have more options available to you...This is not a debate about which method you HAVE to use to get a job, it's about helping her find a job. I just want to let her know that it can take time with those sites, sometimes it gets people even more down when they wait a while and don't hear anything so also wanted to explain why this happens.
But like i said, this thread is about helping her find a job, so i'll go back to that now
Wow, I don't know where I said anything about YOU saying any of the above...
I was just giving examples to try and give her a little positive boost- I thought it might help.
I don't know why you thought I was talking about you or directing anything at you- I never quoted you at all
its the not so subtle hints...You already suggested these sites to her and only after i said she should try a recruiter instead you write TWO not one posts going on and on about how ALL these sites work and ALL these girls would not recommend it if they didn't work...Why would you have to keep emphasizing that point to her, she didn't question you about it or think you were wrong...But i said something. No this time you didn't quote, which i thank you bc last time you quoted me, it wasnt even my quote. Anyways i dont care
Wow, you are a little paranoid, no offense.
But seriously, my posts had NOTHING to do with you... But if you are going to think that, then that's fine. I never quoted you and I ALWAYS, when speaking about or to someone, quote them... I mean, IDK where on earth all this (apparent) hostility from you is coming from... But, that's not a problem-- if you don't care or don't like it, then stop responding.
Everyone who knows me on the 07 boards knows that I'm long-winded (lol) so if I happened to reiterate myself once or twice that is not directed at you-- it's just me being me. I don't understand why you are going on about this and I'm still really

Re: I can't believe this! I JUST LOST MY JOB!!!!
EDITED: I'm not quoting all that stuff b/c it's too long so I'm responding to Espo... did I make myself clear that time??
OK girl- you have some issues.
First of all, what I am not understanding is WHY you are thinking that this is directed at you (besides your reasons) when a. I'm TELLING YOU it is NOT directed at you and b. I never quoted you... This is me, stating for the record that it was a coincidence so back off... Stop hijacking Tatum's thread that's about HER! I'm trying to be extra supportive b/c she is an awesome girl who has been there for me in so many ways in the past...
Second, why are you bringing up something that happened in the past on another board, about a totally different topic?? That has NOTHING to do with this... You need to get the chip off your shoulder and stop thinking that the world revolves around you-- Believe me, I don't even give you a second thought when posting-- I don't even know you and you are not an 07er so I never even met you at any of the G2G's.
If you don't like my posts- whether I'm saying the same thing or not then don't read them or respond to them... I have no problem with your posts and it really doesn't matter to me. If you don't care why do you keep going on about this on HER post about HER situation in losing her job??
You need to just move on or build a bridge and get over it.
I'm so sorry Tatum!

Tatum-I know you said you don't want to work in the city, but if you are interested in a career in PR-basically doing alot of the party planning and setting up their events, then i can give you names of who to go to. But thats if you decide to do that, also not sure if you want to go in that direction or party planning in a different aspect
