NEW JOB

Hi y'all...Sorry it has been so long since i have posted on my blog...I have been desperately searching for a job and it is finally here.....yeah i got a new job. I am so excited to start working soon. I got a job working at a logisitcs company. It is a temp. position. So if the economy goes down. I will be one of the first to go. Hopefully the economy does not get any worse. But if it does i will be better prepared to get a new job. Getting this job has definitely boosted my confidence. I can wait to get back into the real world. I think what really helped me get this job was going to the Center For Women. Which is the only comprehensive women's development center in South Carolina, the Center for Women (C4W) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose mission is to make personal and professional success an everyday event for women in the Lowcountry. They are such a fabulous group! I went to a job search workshop about a 2 weeks ago, to get information about getting a job, since i was not having any luck on my own. I spent one day for 3 hrs. listening to a speaker talk about how to find the perfect job. I was with at least 10 other women, who were in various stages of finding a job. I learned so much from this group on how to interview, write a resume, and search for a job. Eventhough i got my job through the temp agency. I would have never gotten the job if i had not written a thank you letter and interviewed so well with confidence. They were able to give me the skills to get a job. If you are looking for a job, then you should go. I have also found that there are other places that provide the same great services for finding a job. The one that is nationally known is...Careers One Stop...here is the website...http://www.careeronestop.org/. I hope this information will help anyone out there that is looking for a job. Anyone out there who has had issues finding a job? I would love to hear about your journey to find a job. I am so thankful that my prayers have finally been answered. I start my job on tuesday! Back to Reality!! Woohoo!
