Background Check post-Ch. 7 - Healthcare position

[APL]

Oh, Annie - I really thought you would get the job. I'm sorry. I'm also sorry you had to find out from such an impersonal email. I think/hope you are being paranoid about your background check. You will get a job and whatever happens, you and your kids won't be homeless.

Try to put this out of your head and enjoy the holiday with your kids.

Annie I'm so sorry...for whatever it's worth, I sent out over 120 resumes last year after layoff, and took me from July to Nov to find a job...for less...although I did turn one down because I wasn't sure I could do the job.

Forgive me but are you around Chicago?

Are you targeting a particular industry/job??

Here is the response I just received, via email:


We wish to thank you for your interest in our company. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer you a position.
We wish well in your future endeavors.
Sincerely,

Guys - these was for a commission position - not really even cash out of their pockets. I think I am never going to get a job again. I did email them back and basically begged them for the reason. If it is not the BK and I am getting a bad reference, or something (can't figure how this could be, as it is the same resume/companies for my last job which required a background check) I need to know or my kids and I will be homeless eventually.

What a kick in the gut.

Let's hope that people are really out of town...some employers take a LOOONG time to come to a decision!

Positive thoughts headed your way CA - keep the faith m'dear ;)

Annie is still job-searching (and wishes she had $ for a flower garden!) Still waiting to hear on the most recent job; a decision-maker had to go out of town. I'm not holding my breath, though. I am hitting the temp agencies today.

This is an icky feeling folks. Not to be high on myself, but I've always been "in demand" when job hunting. As in an offer for every 3 interviews. The only thing that has changed since my last job, which also required an in-depth background check, is my BK last year. That, and I'm a few years older!

Hope so. And sleeping at this time... her time.... and not working a night shift.
You're in our thoughts annie!!!!

"As the Garden Grows, so grows the Gardener." No idea who said it, but it rings true. I don't think there's anything better than puttering in the garden. Hopefully annie's not on the forum because she's too busy workin'.

Doin great. Planting flowers actually has fewer calories involved than baking cookies.
I have OCCDDD (obsessive compulsive cookie dough dipper disorder) nope i'm not stuttering. LOL
Working in the yard is a low carb activities

[debee]

Gross. You should have been baking cookies. I guess it's time for me to take up toe-tapping, or pencil biting.

Doin' fine, btw. U?

[oregonpilot]

hi debee....how yah doin???? i need to warn you.
i spent the day working in the yard and i still haven't gotten all the dirt cleaned from under my fingernails yet. LOL

[debee]

Same. I'm also biting her fingernails.

[oregonpilot]

AACCKKK!!!! i was just catching up on some posts. annie.....did i miss how this all came out. I'm biting my fingernails, can't stand the suspense.

[discouraged]

That would be so great for you - and give those of us who are so desperately looking, hope. Fingers crossed for you!
