Job Hunt
So I figured since I'm up late and frustrated I'd vent a little here. I got a job offer with Vonage (the VoIP company) and was working there a couple weeks. I left a job that I had been at a little while and that was stable because I was offered a position that payed nearly double, and better hours and such. After a couple of weeks, a few things went wrong with the vonage account. (i actually worked for a separate company that was given a contract with vonage to hire blank amount of people for the job) Apparently the job over hired because they cut hours back to 2 hours a week! Not only did they cut the hours back to 10 hours a week, but they wanted me to do 2 hours a day 5 days a week. The money wasn't worth the long drive up there so I quit, figuring that since all 4 jobs I've had I've been a manager at, there was no way I'd be jobless for long. That was a little over a month ago! I can't find a job! I live in charlotte, NC and the jobs here def aren't scare! It doesn't have to do with my personality or appearance. I go to all of my job interviews and even apply to jobs in a suit and tie. I always make great impressions but every job I've applied to recently either tell me I'm not qualified enough, or I'm OVER qualified! I'd understand if I was trying to get paid more because I was overqualified but I'm willing to take anything right about now! I even applied to run the counter at burger king or McDonald's! I can't get anything. I've managed at a Party City type store, a Pet store, and two hotels. My wife and I had both applied for a job at the same time, that I was way more qualified for, and she had very few qualifications for and she got a call back but I didn't!
I'm not sure what it is but whatever it is, it's really getting to me. My wife and I are very low on cash currently due to me being out of work for a little over a month! I had savings which are now gone (looks like I'm gonna wait longer for that male pastel and male spider!) and on top of that being gone, now we're behind on bills. My cell phone got cut off the other day cause I'm behind and I've broken down to putting my Laptop up for sale on craigslist, and I'm considering selling my two baby Red Tails to make a little extra cash.
We've got a friend who's looking for a place for 3 or so months, and we're gonna let her move into our spare bedroom to help pay the bills. I know I'm ranting but it's just very frustrating. At this point I'm willing to take anything! lol
OK, thanks for listening, don't really expect any replies, I just needed to rant!
P.S. If anyone works in Charlotte, NC or the surrounding areas and you or your company is hiring! Help me out! lol
