Need Prayers and Pixie dust please

[crazypoohbear]

Still no job
still job hunting.
getting discouraged by the day.
I think that my old company is either not giving me a decent recommendation or they are just not responding to the employment verification at all
I know that Payroll princess called for an employment verification and was told they wouldn't release any information without signed consent from me. Never heard of such a thing.
I faxed over signed consent and they still never responded.
If I were the company doing the hiring, I sure wouldn't jump through hoops to get an employee verification so I would just hire the other candidate.

Just saw this thread and read through it -- sending prayers and your way, as I know how stressful this must be for you. I hope you're able to find something soon -- be sure to let us know how you're doing!

Wishing you the best of luck with the job hunting.

I've walked in your shoes, and unfortunatly, many times its the children that pay the price. I was fortunate, if there is such, to lose my job before the recession was official and no one thought something like this would happen (about 7yrs ago). Swore I would never go back to work for a mfg company again and I didn't. Went back to school twice and now work in health care. We too were faced with HUGE medical bills during this time as well, but you will always find a way.

We made drastic life changing decisions sold our home and depleted my retirement, but made it.

You will find a way when you least expect it. Sending hope and prayers your way.....

I finally hear back from Crazypoohbear's former employer and they weren't giving her a bad reference or really any at all. They only verify dates of employment which is what I do also. So that's good anyway. She still hasn't found anything so keep praying for her. So far this year has stunk as we also lost our mother on Sunday. I really hope things get better fast!

At least we have our trip to WDW to look forward to next month. As long as it keeps snowing her husband can keep getting paid for plowing which will keep them from having to cancel the trip. We really need this trip!

Trip to WDW is just the thing for all of you! A few days away to laugh together and remember all the fun events/times you've had with MOM and each other!
