Finally - seems like it's been a lot longer than 2 months I've been home.
The job pays less than my last job, and that wasn't enough to live on. I need to see where I can cut corners soon. It's through the temp. agency, so if after 17 weeks they keep me on a permenant basis maybe they will give me a raise. I hope so. I start on Monday and they didn't even interview me.

Similar - it will be accounts payable - last job was accounts receivable. I've done both. It's all numbers which is my forte. I hope it includes payroll - one of my favorite things to do.
Funny thing is that is the third time I've been hired without an interview. What has happened to all the resumes I sent in response to pennysaver and Monster ads??? I usually send 6 - 7 resumes a week, and in two months have not had an interview. Go figure.

Yea...................my social security is secure again! Way-To-Go Wheezie. I hope it's permanent for you! I received a letter from social security today informing me that I will continue receiving my checks as long as Wheezie is employed however, should Wheezie be layed off, my checks will stop until such time as Wheezie is employed again. I guess Wheezie is like my swing vote! Wheezie, if you need a personal character reference please do not hesitate to call me.

Don't feel bad about the number of resumes sent out. On my various job hunts, I used the rule that 100 resumes sent out would lead to, maybe, five interviews, and then one or two offers (if lucky). In one case, I sent out about 200 resumes nationwide, had 10 interviews, got 3 offers. Sounds like you did better. |
