knchatty Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I interviewed for a new job 2 weeks ago. My company is closing soon (due to the poor economy). I was called today after waiting for 2 whole weeks and offered the position. I knew it was meant to be. Higher salary and closer to home! I'm so excited!

Chibear Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 That's great, congratulations! I have a couple of friends who were laid off several months ago and while they've gone on a few interviews, they have yet to land a position. It's wonderful that you were able to find something right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knchatty Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I've been told it's easier to find a new job when you already have a job. You can be more selective and you have more confidence. You know, you aren't just going to grab anything because you have to have a job. I have a great job, but it's just not stable enough for me. So now I have a new job that is more stable, closer to home and wants to pay me more! Can't beat that! Thanks for the congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irelyn Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Congrats! I have been looking for work for over a year, however because I have been a stay at home mom for 10 years I am having a lot of trouble finding one. I decided to go to school this fall so I can learn something new that will enable me to find a position somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knchatty Posted April 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 My new job is getting better. I would rather be busier but it's more stable and more money! The people are great too. I'm just glad I found something before my old job closed. Thanks for the well wishes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRENDASHELTON Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Finding a job that will be around awhile these days is always a plus. Not to many hang on for long in this economy. Job security is very hard to find. Just having peace of mind that you can depend on technology to keep you challenged is a full time job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizzard Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Congratulations. I'm at the stage in my life where I don't want to be indoors stuck behind a desk for 40 hours a week. I'm now doing security work which takes me out in the fresh air quite a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knchatty Posted May 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 I'm stuck behind a desk for 40 hours a week but it's doing something I love. I know, to each their own right. There are many days when I would love to be outside working. On the cold and snowy days I love being indoors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
