I Have a Question

Is it ironic that when Ive been asking God for a job as a christmas present for yrs, and yes ive been out of work for yrs, that I sent a resume out on christmas day, and yes i did this christmas day, i was going to go to church but my ride cancelled cause it was storming so i stayed home, ive been sending out resumes other days too but this one that i sent out christmas day seemed to have the most interest. someone called me the next day from apple one about doing this jobs where you hand out samples in the stores. Ive been doing a lot of paperwork for them and theyve had to do stuff like background checks and i might have to do a drug test which i dont care cause ive never done drugs or gotten in trouble with the law.

about a wk ago she sent me an email about sending her some stuff back,so on a saturday i went to a library near me and had a bunch of stuff scanned back to her, i wasnt sure of her fax number and she didnt seem to want it mailed so she wanted it faster so thats why i scanned it. I sent stuff like a voided check for direct deposit so when they pay me they can do it that way and stuff like copies of Id's etc. this company isnt in the state im in so thats why i have to send it out instead of going there, they recruit all over and yes, its legit.

Ive been going to school too and this job will be part time and i can make my own schedule so it works good with school that way. Ive been wanting a job for yrs, even part time, ive been living on no income literally, the only money i get lately is from grants for school, i get stuff like food stamps and medicaid and i have hud but i wanted a job bad even part time cause i only get a check for school 3 times a yr, and its like getting paid 3 times a yr, like every 5 months or so. so it was getting kind of ridiculous, ive had a couple of jobs not work out too, like in calling centers. the last one wanted me to get an 85 on a test during training, i got a 73 and lost the job cause of it. lost other jobs for similar issues. this one is easier cause all i gotta do is hand out samples , its not like trying to memorize stuff for a test.

so does anyone find it ironic that this resume got send sent out christmas day? also, she called when i was in school so im going to call her tomorrow back, she might be wanting me to go for drug testing. theyve been processing background checks, i asked her one time once i did all this if it meant i got the job and she said it did. Im kind of nervous cause ive never done this before and in school i switched to a child care certificate and now i gotta go to a school and hang out with children every wk, so im kind of nervous about that too, its like i have all this new stuff going on. anyone else ever had something like this ironic happen?
Pearl, it seems I am constantly having to reinvent myself every few years. And yes it can be scary.
Just hang in there, be the best you can be, and that’s really all anyone can do.

I would suggest that you make yourself as desirable to your employer as possible. To do that you have to know your potential employer and what they are looking for in a new hire.

For instance; the employer wanting persons to hand out samples to strangers in a store, will want a person who is smiling, maybe a bubbly personality who gets along with and talks to strangers easily. That would not be a good job for me because I am the opposite of that, so I would never apply. But if you can do that kind of work, then show them a big friendly smile on your job interview. Try not to be nervous, but talk to your interviewer as if she/he were your friend, you care about them, and try to be helpful to her/him.

Try not to worry about what they think of you because you know in your heart that you are a good person. Just be their friend, and if they hire you then great. If not, then you were not meant for that job anyway.
