Day 414....

It is Tuesday, February 18, 2014. And day 414 of not having a job.

Not a good day all around. First of all I called both Petsmarts back as promised. The first one made the second feel not so bad. The second was the promised new store. I had such promise when I began to try this job last year almost a year ago. I still am not going to be working there. A few weeks ago I was told they “might be hiring again in a few weeks” but guess that person even if a manager was wrong. OR they were right and already finished.

What makes me mad is the manager who interviewed me back in December made it seem SO promising they would hire after the store opened. But this was the second time I tried. Back in January I tried and they didn’t know and by the time I applied they had stopped. I got this answer a week or so later after my fail with the other PM. I truly think the manager who told this to me hoped I wouldn’t keep trying back for a job. Because they could call me again I can see my app is okay or I wouldn’t have gotten called in January for the other PM I was worried about. So then its just this store and its making me mad. And sad too. I really wanted a job there. Its just unfair why I cant get a job with a new store I would shop at that would be SO close to home!

A month ago I applied for and got an interview at the Petsmart about 25 min from home near where I used to work. Thing is the manager liked me I mean he REALLY liked me the connection we had. I was almost positive he would hire me on. A week and a half later he tells me he couldn’t take me because they were too slow and he could only take 1 or 2 not 3 or 4. I still wonder why I couldn’t have been the 1 or 2 and not the 3 or 4. So we didn’t connect that much. Still he gave me hope. “Check back in a few weeks things might change.”

Well I checked back today. Yes they are hiring again. But the manager I connected with the head of the store isn’t there. He is in Arizona training and wont be back for another two weeks. According to the gal who answered who is also a manager he has been gone a long time. She said they wont be doing any hiring till he gets back. And they miss him.

So that means I cant do anything with this one either. Two weeks is March. I need a job by April my life is a total joke. I feel like my prayers are going on deaf ears and that doesn’t make me happy at all. It makes me cry as I am now.

My sister tells me that the lovely LL is now taking on new people. Yes I know they haven’t rejected me from the countless at least 10 jobs I applied to in the past few weeks but they haven’t contacted me either. It is NOT looking good. I am just hoping as a re-hire they think of me next and contact me soon. This is just so wrong. I didn’t do ANYTHING so wrong to deserve being punished this long by not taking me back. By time they get around to it will be have been nearly 2 years since I last began to work there again. COME ON!

Tomorrow I contact the Old Navy at the mall. I’m not too hopeful about this job. They opened without posting jobs. And only moved the store to the mall. I will be shocked at this point if they even interview me. I know Old Navy is more fashion like than last time I tried with them but still I love shopping there when I can.

Nothing still from Home Depot either no calls or emails for phone interviews. I’m feeling pretty hopeless all around. Not a good thing at all. God please I need a job I need one now. Please sigh.
