Lost My Job and Doubting Myself

Bones....  Ditto what Hops said.  I'm really hoping the perfect job comes along for you very soon.

Hi Bones,
I told people in recent interviews, in a light way, "By the way, I bring my own health insurance because I retired early from the state." And I just act glad that this is a burden I can relieve them of.

I think in small concerns, that's an offer that many would find appealing. It's the upside of hiring older employees.

Don't give up! I was just sinking into despair when I got the most pleasant job I've had in many years.

hugs,
Hops

That sounds like a good idea!  If I get another interview, I'm going to look for a way to work that comment in.

I've just sent off another job application and resume' via snail-mail.  I'm not certain if I'll get a response to that or not.

One of the other things I am stressing about is attempting to take care of the necessary logistics to attend my commencement ceremony in August.  I don't want to attend my graduation alone as I've been there, done that.  Not fun when N-relatives blew it off.  Today, I asked my boyfriend if he really wants to attend my graduation ceremony and the only response I got was SILENCE!  I interpret that to mean he's not interested.  It feels like a re-run of dealing with my N-relatives.

And I'm trying to make sense of it all.

Grrrrr.....   

I was thinking about your job situation and ran across this website that does recruiting by state.  It advertises that it's a free service.  I wonder if they could help you with your job search.  Here's the link.

Hi Bones

about your ceremony in August, if nobody wants to go with you, will you attend? I was wondering if you want to see it as a gift to yourself from yourself. And if you don't go, would you feel regret later? Just pondering here. It's your success, your achievement - perhaps you could enjoy it, this time?

I want to go because I have worked long and hard for this, along with giving blood, sweat and tears to achieve this goal.  I just can't afford to go on my own because of lack of employment.  Besides, I've already had one experience of attending my graduation alone and it was NOT fun!

Dear Bones,
    The way that I look at it is You have the degree. You made it happen.You are a winner.To me, graduation is just a day. You have the long term reward.                           Love Ami

It's also fun to have a party to go along with it.  Right now, nothing is happening at home.

I'm trying to figure out how to do that as it's no fun alone.

BTW, I checked out the HeadHunters website and did a search for my specialization (i.e. addiction, psychology, counseling, substance abuse, etc.) only to get zero hits with each search.
