    How some folks just can't let go of hate.

    :hug:

    Harboring hate is so...heavy. So toxic for the soul.

    Deadly even. It has been shown as of late that anger and hatred actually cull years from your life, and increase your health risks by 25%.

    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    I've been looking for a job for over a year. The last two positions I interviewed for had my name "all over them", so I'm confused as to why I'm still unemployed. To look at what I do differently I signed up for a session with a career coach. One of my sisters suggested it. I don't know what will happen, but I'm excited.

    They have helped me a lot. A lot had changed in hiring processes since I had hanged careers. Thanks to my career coach, I plan on taking some business classes when I get done with
    Dog behavior school. I think they will be able to help you

    I think that this is a fantastic idea!

    My husband went to one right after college. Basically he graduated with a degree and had no idea what to do with it. She put him through a bunch of tests, figured out what was best for him, wrote a resume for him and gave him interview pointers. She pointed him to the career he has. Thanks to her, my husband has been employed in his chosen field for 21 years. I will suggest the same for my daughter when her time comes.

    I agree with Lolo, we're all pulling for you! :hug:

    Same here, Ms. H. You're a smart woman and have tenacity. The fit will come.

    Ever wonder what the hell you (apparently...?) did to someone to warrant coldness? And then ride the fence between caring and thinking, well, fuck 'em?

    It's too bad, but even this late in the game as I'm still learning, such is life.

    Such are some people.

    One thing I learned when looking for a new job, never dwell over the ones you didn't get. It can be any or one reason. Good luck with the career coach, sounds like a really good idea.

    Hooray!

    Could you write down a list of questions they ask, have someone "interview" you while recording yourself? That might give you insight to whatever glitch there may be.
