Hey Everyone...
Hope everyone is enjoying the 4th of July weekend... So, yes I'm back to "square one"... I did land a job that lasted very briefly... So, part of me is sad and part of me is not really caring anymore.. I'm mostly upset at the lack of managerial skills that this last company has.. In my tenure of work, I have managed departments and people and never have I seen such a loss of communication and common courtesy.. I guess that as I get older I realize that not everyone has been trained like before.. Now a days, it doesn't matter if you don't communicate.. People are just supposed to have a crystal ball and know what is happening...
In a nutshell, I was working at a restaurant (high end) and was going into my scheduled day of work and walked in and I was advised that I was no longer on the schedule.. WOW... can we say "confused"?? So, whatever happened to using something called the phone and calling people?? Needless to say, I was told that they had too many employees and that they had to lay off a couple of us.. OK, well thanks for letting me know!!! I was upset and shocked but truly not surprised.. So now I'm back on the block looking for jobs and putting my resume out there.. Oh yeah, I'm not putting this last adventure on the resume.. Not worth it...
I started to think about "square one".... Is this where I saw myself when I was younger?? Unemployed, figuring out how to make the bills, no health insurance, explaining it to the kids, unmarried??? Nope that wasn't what I had in mind.. So how is it that I got to "square one"?? Oh yeah, being laid off.... Well, there has to be a light at the end of the tunnel... We are all told that... Our Faith tells us, that God has a plan for us and that we have to believe... I do believe, I have Faith, I know that there is a Greater plan, it's just hard to not think about what is going to come next... I'm thankful that I was able to pay this months rent and bills... I am blessed to have my health and that my kids have their health.. I pray for wisdom, clarity, calmness and most of all that all the needs are met...
Hope to hear from some of you.. Let me know what you are doing?? What websites your using to send out resumes etc?? I will be adding some of the websites that I'm using.. It might help someone out there...
These are some of the websites that I have used to send out resumes...
