A wish comes True

I did post here few months ago about my frustrations of not getting the job I applied for. I know I can do the job and I am qualified than the ones they hired because I have the degree while the one they hired,,,,, well I don't know if she has the degree for that position. It took me several days to get over my frustrations and aggravation but I said to myself, "someday they will be the one to call me even if I don't apply because they will need my service" those are just wishes with the hope that it will come true. From that time on... I forget all about it and I busy myself with other things.

One day, I received a call from them asking me if I am interested for another position opened in their institution. Well, the job opening is not in my line of expertise, so I decline immediately because I don't want to give them false hopes that I can do the job even if I have no experience in that area. I don't care if I have no work, I don't want to experiment doing things that I have no idea of how to do it for the sake of having a job.

After a year, they call me again for another job offer, well, I prayed about it because I love that kind of job. After days of prayer, I got the job. They hired me without any interview or whatsoever. What I can say is that, your wish will come true if God will permit it to happen.
I never send any application to them anymore, I just did once and when they did not call me instead they hired another person, I opted not to send any application anymore. What is aggravating in this situation is that I work with them for 3 years as volunteer, then when there's a job opening instead of hiring me,,,,, because they know me well enough due to my volunteering, they hire someone who never volunteer to work with them, and is new to the area for she come from another place and just new to the area. That's what pissed me off. But anyway, my wish comes true and that is the most wonderful thing that had happened.

Whisper a prayer of thanks

Yes, I am thankful to God for the opportunity of being hired in spite of the job crisis all around us today. Everyday, we keep on hearing about people who lost their jobs. Tough, tough, very tough economic situations we are facing now. But then, I am thankful that at last, I got a job but I waited to have a job for five years. Anyway, everything has a season. Now is my time.

I love the job I am doing now. I worked more that the hours that I suppose to work and all those extra hours I considered them as volunteer work because I am not paid for extra and I don't mind it because I love this kind of work I am doing. When I was working before, I always work for extra mile, without pay and that was in my country. Now that I am here in America, I still do the same. I just consider my extra hours as volunteer work. This is just my way of saying "thank you for the opportunity of having work in this very tough job hunting situation we are in.

Whispering a prayer of thanksgiving is all my heart can say. Thank you Lord for everything.

Learn to accept the reality of life

That's right. Learn to accept the reality of life wherever you are. Speaking of job opportunities nowadays, even of you have the ability and you are qualified for the job you applied for, if you have no connections, it is really hard to be hired. I have seen a lot of unqualified people for the job they are in but because they have connections, the were able to get the job. It is very aggravating and frustrating to see this happening but what can we do?

A lot of people said, " you have to do volunteer work in order to market your ability". Wow!! that is easier said than done. With the gas price keep on increasing almost everyday, how many people would drive 10-15 miles to do volunteer work? Maybe there are some but hey!! is it fair? Well, others will just do it just to know gain experience and to have reference if somebody will hire them in the future.

It is indeed frustrating. It happened to me many times already that I applied for the job that I know I am qualified for that certain position because I have a degree while the work doesn't ask for any degree but I wasn't hired for the reason I am not sure what. Well, I know it is not good to question them why? but I did it. Well, sounds embarrassing to me, but hey!! I have to speak up.
They told me different reasons. The other said, I am over qualified for the job, some said we want to hire you in another position which is (very impossible to be created) and right then, I said to myself, if we have no connections, even if we are qualified, no body would hire us.

I am just wishing that someday they will be the one to ask me when they see that I can do things that others ( specially those they hired in place of me) can not do. Hey!! I know I have special skills that can benefit their organization. I know that what I have, others don't have. So someday, they will realize that they need my service. LOL JUST A WISH.

Jobs, Jobs, where? how to find one? a big QUESTION!!

Hi, to all of you out there. Do you had this experience? asking yourself the same question? Well, I do.. for almost 3 years now I am looking for a job that fits my qualification. By the way, even if it's not in my line as long as somebody will hire me I will do it.. hahahah that's what I said to some of my friends hoping that they have something to recommend. Unfortunately, it doesn't happen for about 2 years now almost 3 years. Imagine that? In these tough times, it is really hard to find a job. I can hear from some of my friends who are out of job now, they are looking for one. Some of them were laid off some were fired, etc. It is a very sad situation.

Anyway, there is still hope as long as we are alive. Prayer can do wonders. That is the only sure thing to rely in this hard time. God has a thousand ways to provide. We just need to trust Him and His leading.

I meet a friend today, she said, she has been looking for a job for almost 3 months now and still nothing. Job is hard to find. She has been everywhere. Well, in this tough economy, maybe the best thing to do is to earn online.. hahaha... writing articles online is good if you have lots of ideas? you can be paid like $10 an hour and that's good. I am doing that for the mean time.
It's just good than nothing. You can be paid by just selling your ideas. I can work in the comfort of my home without pressure and no gas expense. This is a great experience. But I still need a regular job like what others want to have too.

Searching for Jobs

Job searching is not an easy game for me. One thing I have in mind is communication barrier. Hey!! this is America and everybody speaks English too fast I can not understand what they are talking about. I am hesitant to call the number for job vacancy, afraid that I might not be able to grasp every word or instructions they will give me. Well, I can understand English and can speak it too but it's hard to catch up what people had said when they talk so fast and could hardly be understood. Their accent is different from mine. What I did was to apply on line. I submit my resume for some job vacancies and finally I was called for an interview. She then told me that they are not the one who will hire but they will just recommend it to the hiring personnel. Well, fine!!! I called the hiring personnel but she then told me to wait for a call. Since that I did not hear from them. The problem is I have no state certificate yet and they need somebody who has a license or certified to teach. So then, I applied the vacancy that don't need a license. I receive an email telling me to submit my resume. After submitting my resume, I did not hear from them and as I check the vacancy again it was filled up. I am just wondering why they will not hire me? I applied to the position in line with my degree and what is the problem? Is it because I am not an American? Well, I then realized that I need to have a state certification to qualify for the job. I can take the certification anytime I want but still I am in the valley of decision whether I will do the teaching job or look for another type of job in which I will not be dealing with behavior problems, communication problems,etc. I was so frustrated because I want to have something to do in order to earn. But then I never give up. I look something online because many people said you can make money online. I search and search and I finally found some earning sites online which I will share with you on my next topic... hang on..
