Here I am and it is not bad

[morenews]

it was busy week for me, and nothing good happened with my job search, but i went for a few interviews and took also phone interviews. I have noticed that all those actions are happening i feel better, i feel more hopeful and i would like to do even more in this area of my life. If it is quiet and i don't have calls and emails re job, I got upset, anxious and hopeless.

I have to talk to myself and tell myself that it is all worth it and it will work out, does not matter how long it would take and I am also learning from those calls and interviews what to pay attention to, what to review(knowledge wise), how to answer questions. I am very relaxed on those interviews( i don't believe myself how relaxes and chatty i am there), i usually get anxiety when actual task needs to be done and i am afraid not to do it perfectly and not make it by deadline, but talking about work-this is not a problem for me. But they see me and i am not young at all, and don't look younger my age, this is a big problem, i think.

but I have to still be happy that I am contacted and things are happening.

now is weekend, i am going to relax and ...study a little more, and i am here if anyone wants to talk and share.

Have everybody good weekend, and enjoy the weather(if it is possible where you are, we have wonderful weather here).

love and hugs!

you know....employers are not always looking for ken and barbie who have a Stanford degree...some what more mature employees who are going to be hopefully more reliable and have life experience too....I think that is an asset that will be more explored in the work force in the near future, because of a lot of younger people not being very up on social graces, and how to show mutual respect....how to have boundaries, and respect their boss. Some kids on here though are really together and don't even realize how much so they are, even though they are suffering, they are trying to get help, and that in-stills hope....

I signed up with a lot of temp agency's. I was eventually offered full time employment from on of the temp jobs. More employers are doing this to weed out having HR and paying Work.Comp. etc. while trying out a potential new hire....they just us an agency. The pay's not great but the work for a fifty something woman was much appreciated.

Yes, i am doing the same thing, and I am planning to sign up with more, for now i signed up and went to meet them at 3, but i can see many more on those job boards, so i will be calling them as well. Actually i got 3 months project from one of them, but it was finished in 2 months not 3, and when it abruptly got finished and our team(7 people) was let go, this is when i came to this forum, because i got so depressed, did not know how to get out of this hole.

Now i feel much better and will keep going.

thank you for all your great advice, dear fauxartist.
