thank you everyone....I have an interview at 3:00pm today. I dont think I'll get it b/c the application alone is 14 pages and you have to give an account for every job, every place you lived etc for the last 10 years.....They verify everything. They even make you sign a release for your medical information from not only tests they have you take but the release says something about records from your past insurance, etc....and if you make one mistake or omit something, they consider it a deliberate omission and a sign of guilt. It says something to that effect on the app. I cant remember what I had for breakfast, much less my address 10 years ago..
in other words, they can and DO check every aspect of your life from your credit and character to your high school transcripts.
I'm not worried about anything they might find, I have nothing to hide....but it seems a bit much for an administrative job, not even one in securities or finance of any sort....
Not too sure how I feel about the whole background check...
When looking for job and things are getting though I tell myself "the only way you won't find a job is if you are dead, since you are alive and looking, the Lord has something for you out there, you just have to get to it." Based on that, work to search with confidence, not panic. And the more employers/ No's you get past, the closer you will be to your first "YES" or even "yes'". You are safe. Keep this in mind. Just be as agressive as you can and go bombard the city with your applications and resumes and before you know it, you will have a start date no matter what.
Father God, Holy Spirit,
I lift up Theresa's job situation to you Lord and express my Utmost confidence that you will supernaturally guide her toward her future employer and hand her the professional opportunity that perfectly fits her background Lord. Lord I ask that You expedite her job search and bless her with her dream job. In Christ Jesus Name, I pray. Amen.
it's really neat how it happened, I have to give God credit, it was totally unexpected.
The only drawback is it doesnt start till 10/20....but thats ok, things happen for a reason. It's a good secure job, for now anyway LOL
But there is much opportunity for advancement and more money
The lady that interviewed me hired me on the spot she said she wanted me that she just knew I'd bring a level of "class" to the position....how sweet huh?
I'm excited, I feel useful again, human. It's depressing not being able to find a job and being made to feel worthless.
But God did a better job than I could have ever done, thank you SO much for your prayers and encouragement
