I Have a Question

How do I keep this job? ever since ive had to leave the resort cause of my hip implants, i havent been able to get anything going and this has been going on 5 yrs, I feel like a temp even though i didnt work for the temp agencies, they wont hire me either and its hard to get a job where i am. the last one i lost after being there only two wks , i was in a calling center and got a 73 on a test during training instead of an 85 that they wanted so bye bye job. ive had similar stuff happen over the yrs, i worked as a para aide sub and they wouldnt call me for work cause they said i wouldnt be able to run after kids if they left the playground, i tried to tell them it was fenced in, that lasted 3 months, then i worked for club z tutoring kids in their homes but 3 months later they never had any work, i didnt get fired or nothing, they just never had any work, then i worked at xerox but 3 months later i got put on leave, then i worked for this place doing surveys but 2 wks later i made a mistake on the computer so they suspended me instead of trying to show me my mistake, the last one was the calling center, that was back in nov.

I thought i might have a job with this nanny family but they havent gotten back to me yet, and if theyre not sure neither am i, now this place wants to hire me to hand out samples in the stores. at least i wouldnt have to study for a test, how hard can it be to hand them out , right? i did have to pass a food handling course online and even got the certificate and got a 90 on their test. someone from there called me yesterday and now theyre checking my background and i gotta do a drug test and fill out some more paperwork that i missed out on the first time, im waiting for them to send out the stuff online so i can print it out and fill it out and mail it back.

Im in school too, and i start classes tomorrow, and they called me yesterday. school sounds like fun cause i switched from business tech certificate to a childcare one, and i get to go to a day care every wk too so i didnt want to stop school and with the food sampling they said i could pick my own schedule and its also part time so im thinking of doing both. i would love to have a job i dont have to give back so how do i do this this time, any suggestions? im tired of being a temp, i want to be permanent, not even the temps want to hire me. tired of not having a job
Pearl, you mentioned having hip implants. I’m not sure exactly if that means hip replacements, but if it does, than maybe a job where you are standing on a concrete floor all day may not be a good fit for you.
Just sayen; I sometimes have arthritis in my hips/back and will sometimes take Advil before shopping in a supermarket or department store if I know I’m going to walking on the hard concrete floor for over an hour. I can go in feeling just fine but after 20 minutes of shopping all I want to do is sit down.
Something to think about.
