YES! Employed again after 1 year, 7 months of no work!
I nailed an interview with American Express today for an inhouse sales position. Full health benefits for part time (30 hours) work, plus tuition reimbursement.
I am SO freaking tired of being unemployed. I've taken a 25% cut in base pay from the Techie job I held until 12/02, but the commissions should put me into a brand new tax bracket.
Seriously, anyone that has a job these days amazes me... I put in 100 + resumes for a shitty summer job (I'm a college student) and got NADA. Congrats dude!
I've been unemployed and underemployed (in crappy contract jobs that paid lousy) for a couple years now. It's to the point where I don't think I'll ever find a full time permanent position again. Living on Macaroni and Cheese just ain't any fun.
Congratulations! I've been laid off four times in the past three years and the unemployment ran out last month - so I know what it's like. Good for you.
As a veteran of being out of work for an accumulation of one year and seven months over the past three years, I don't mind the unemployment. I mind not knowing when it's going to end.
