• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

No new Farkles for me for long time

HI,
Next week I'll go to my local Career Resource Center, and ask them to help me( I'll take my cover letter, resume, Letter of Recommendation)


Good choice. The last time I was in your position I was offered assistance in writing my resume. (I didn't think I needed help but I was wrong) I found that resumes are constantly changing. Companies use computer programs that search for key words and phrases in resumes. For example; I took the lead in... I was responsible for....I managed the effort of others.... etc. The people that work in career guidance do this every day, the rest of us only need a resume a few times in our lifetime. By all means, use all the resources available. Continued Good Luck!

Deanna, very knowledgeable people here on the forum are trying to give you sound advice. Please open your mind to the possibility they may know more than the folks who are closest to you. A job search in this market is challenging and you could benefit in your search by listening to some experts on the subject. nojoke

Sorry! Yes I'm trying to keep an open mind. Sent a pm.

The next time I post on this thread.

I'll have a open mind, be positive, and listen to the folks on this site that are giving me sound advice, and support.

I think what is going to happen is: all the places that I have applied for jobs, will come at me all at once.

I'll be ok.

Here is an other job update:

I did apply for a job last week, and I got an email saying "At this time I was not the right fit". I responded back to the email and asked why???? I was not a fit for the job. I also asked questions.

What kind of way is that to treat someone? If it was me, I'd probably send them a snarky response asking when would be the right time to 'fit' into their precious organization!

But I'm not suggesting you do that!

At least she got a response. When I was doing some serious job searching years ago I was lucky to get any kind of acknowledgement for more than 1 out of every 10 applications.

I look at it this way too at least they didn't waste her time with phone interviews and walk in interviews to tell you your over qualified.

Hang in there jobs are out there and will be hiring your soon Deanna.

Sometimes I don't even get an email, they just leave me wondering! I know I have a lot of completion out there, (people looking for work).

I am hanging in there.

I know I'll find a job.
