Job Hunting

Featured Replies

 

So I am now looking for a job.  I hate asking people for things and now I am having to email business contacts and ask for help and referrals.  :wub:

Wishing you the best on your job search. Stay positive :)

With your experience, I'm sure you will have your pick of jobs!

Hey Beacon.

 

I know that you will be asking the right people in the right way. They will be delighted that you chose them to reach out to - it shows faith.

 

You will get some great exciting offers.

Good luck,Beacon!

 

I'm sure you will have your choice of jobs, once the offers start flooding in!

 

I'm pretty sure companies prefer non smoking employees....so that's another thing in your favor.

 

I'm gonna be n your neighborhood in 11 days... you can put me down for a character reference! :p I promise to report nothing but good things. :)

 

break a leg Mel!

But think how good those people will feel if they can help you! Everyone loves to help if it's easy which cross referring is :)  Don't over think it my friend and good luck in your job search. x

I find having a job to be of the utmost importance in my life, or at least having a regular income. I know most of you do not live near Carson City, Nevada, however there are lots of jobs here including a number of positions here at the Bunny Ranch brothels, Drivers, Hostesses, Bartenders, etc. My job is to entertain the girls with music and it is not as easy as it may seem.

Do you wear pasties?

Hardy, har, har, of course I do:)

I saw a good job in Vegas the other day.  I think I could work at a bank out there or even a casino based on my experience.  I have mostly looked here in Miami and nyc.

All the best Beacon!  It's an interesting ride for sure.

 

The work I've done here is so specialized to this place that I'll be starting over no matter where I go.  Kind of feeling like a layoff is eminent (tho I'll be bummed) and if/when it happens, I'm packing it in and moving....somewhere...not sure where, but somewhere.

 

Lean into the fall is what I used to say.

Pittsburgh is nice

Job hunting can be soul crushing!! 

 

Yes it can. I feel for you.

 

 

I thought I remember awhile back saying you were retiring?? I could be wrong, as my mind isn't what it used to be.

Beacon,

 

    Hang in there.   The perfect thing is arriving just on time for you.   

....though, "waiting is the hardest part"..... or maybe looking and not finding....or looking and interviewing and not getting the job.....    

 

 

yeah, potential employment can be frought with angst.

 

 

Still,  I believe.....   the perfect situation is arriving for you.

Try to not take it personally Beacon, it's just a numbers game nowadays isn't it. Apply for enough, eventually get one.

 

I feel for you though, it's tough times. Hugs to you. You're awesome and they'd be lucky to have you and shame on the silly billy's if they're missing out!

I'm the first to say Congrats and 'go get em' but I won't be the last and definitely not the best. But still, I'm really pleased for you. I've followed your story A little and you made a scary choice packing in your job so I'm routing for things to turn out excellent for you!
