When was the last time you applied for a job?  |
|
How many applications did you send in? Did you get hired?
I just sent in a job application. The first one in years! The last time I applied (and got hired) was right before my oldest was conceived and he's 12 years old now, so it's been a while since I had a (paying) job.
With the economy the way it is and with so many people looking for a job, and with me being a bit older and having practically no work experience under my belt, I don't expect to get hired, but it'll be interesting to see if I at least get called in for an interview.
We shall see what happens.
Wish me luck!
Now back to my original question. When was the last time you applied for a job?

1. learn2earn (10311) | 4 weeks ago | The last time I applied for a job was nine years ago. I just hand-carry my application and we took the examination administered by the Human Resource Center. I think I passed. After a week, I followed it up and I was interviewed with the assurance that I was hired. I am still in that company since then. I hope that you will get the chance to showcase what you can do.

2. dragon54u (9397) | 4 weeks ago | I applied a couple months ago and didn't get hired. There are very few office jobs here and that's the only kind I can do, I can't be on my feet for more than a few minutes. I didn't get the job, they hired someone younger.
I hope you get the job! How does your son feel about you working?

3. wonttakelong (1602) | 4 weeks ago | last time I applied for a job was 6 months ago I put in ONE application and got that job there are jobs out there but the problems is that most people refuse to swallow their pride and take the jobs that are available

sacmom (5777) | 4 weeks ago | That's true, at least for some people. In my case, I take the job no one wants, or I have anyway. Now, I have to be a little more picky as I'll only be able to work nights, at least for now anyway.

sacmom (5777) | 4 weeks ago | Thanks Oceanblueeyes! The application that I sent in will last for 2 months. So, if I don't hear anything from them after that time I'll try again (if I don't get a different job by then).
Best of luck to you!

7. reeyan (422) | 4 weeks ago | HI sacmom,
You may not believe but I never applied for any job in my life. Its my nature to be master of myself. So I never intended myself to undergo any job. Any way good luck for you. I wish you will get the job you applied for.

sacmom (5777) | 4 weeks ago | Thank you mtdew. Neither do I. I had a couple of part time jobs in the past, but neither lasted long. The first one was because I moved. The owner wanted their employees nearby and as I was further than the others I lost out. Funny thing about it though is that they never actually let me go and I never quit. LOL
Happy mylotting!

9. sybil02 (153) | 4 weeks ago | Hi! I sent an application a few days back, though I received some favorable interview the only problem is the job is in graveyard shift that is why it's hard for me to accept the job.

sacmom (5777) | 4 weeks ago | It isn't easy when time plays a factor. It's one of the things that's against me as well as I'd only be able to work in the evenings, not during the day. Hopefully it won't be too much of a strike against me though!
Happy mylotting!

10. posham (740) | 4 weeks ago | The first and last time I applied for a job was about 3 yrs ago... And I'm still with that company up until now...
Hope this helps. "to express, not to impress"

sacmom (5777) | 4 weeks ago | That's pretty good that you only had to put in one application and you got the job. Sometimes people have to put in more than this before they get hired.
Happy mylotting!
