ok..so i don't normally post things like this, i'm not sure i've ever made a thread in the 'cafe' but it seems this is where it fits SO, here it goes:

those of you who know me, know i've been dealing with CPS (child "protective" <that's a laugh> services) for 2 years over something my ex boyfriend did to my daughter. well today at 9:30a.m. i have my hearing to DISMISS. this is the second one i've had but he has now been sentenced and there is a no contact order in place so i'm hoping that it will all be over. it should have been over 2 years ago, but that's another story for another time. anyway, please please please, keep your fingers crossed, pray, send good vibes, whatever it is you do, that this will be the end. i'm sick of them being in my life, i'm sick of paying for a mistake that i didn't even make and sick of my kids having to pay for it as well.

ALSO today, at 2:30p.m. i have a job interview, could it be possible for two good things to happen in my life in one day??? i sure hope so, anyway...i need fingers crossed, prayers, blah blah blah for that as well..pleeeeeeeeease..and i'll let ya'll know how both go as soon as i know. :rose:
 
Fingers crossed and positive energy projected towards you

Hope you get the demons off your back and that the job interview goes well.


H
 
I'll just keep you in my thoughts and prayers all day, it's easier. :p

Seriously, I be thinking of you and I'm sure you'll be great at your interview.
 
I hope things go wonderfully for you and yours today and in the following days.

Fury :rose:
 
ok one down and one to go. i missed court this morning...*sighs* i woke up at 10:30, court was at 9:30 :rolleyes: so of course i freaked out and thought 'wow i'm off to a WONDERFUL start' i called my case worker over and over finally left her a message, she called me back about an hour ago. i explained to her that i overslept and she figured as much LOL..but she said the judge went ahead and reluctantly closed the case. i asked why she was reluctant and she said she didn't really know. it's been two years, they kept telling me the reason they were leaving the case open was because my ex had not be sentenced and there was not a no contact order. well he has now been sentenced and there is a no contact order in place so they had no reason to keep it open, and my case worker's lawyer 'reminded' the judge that they cannot legally keep it open if the children are no longer in danger, and my case worker added that they have not been in danger pretty much since the day they were taken away (they were in foster care for 3 weeks) and he was arrested. so with all that being said, the judge closed the case, and it's over!! finally!!! it's been a very long two years, thank you ALL for you support and words of encouragement.

now keep those fingers crossed, the positive vibes, the prayers, and all that of that jazz coming, cause i'm on my way out the door to go to my interview!

Congratz to you rose. I am happy for you. Good lusk to you on your interview.
 
ok the interview is done, and i think i TOTALLY bombed, i am NO good at interviews. i get nervous and tongue tied. this job is not what i thought it was going to be. it was advertised under customer service, what it really is is 'sales' the company is called JD and Associates, they sale Air purifiers and my job would be to go out set these up, and show what they do, answer questions of the customers, and take orders if they decide to buy one. i have no experience, but he said they will train, which is good. it's not at all what i was looking for. i have to call back between 4:00 and 4:45 today to find out the outcome of the interview. the pay even without making any sales, just for going to the appointments, setting up the machine and demonstrating it, is $1,000.00 a WEEK! you get paid 20.00 for each appointment and you do about 15 appointments a week if you are full time. *shrugs* so now i sit and wait until 4:00 and i will call and see if they tell me i'm qualified or not..training starts tomorrow. if i don't get this one ..they also have telemarketing positions open, and that's really what i would want to do. soooo don't uncross your fingers yet please ;)

*giggles* i hate the waiting part. I'm sure you did better than you thought.

Me, the only reason I'm good at interviews is because I giggle and smile when I'm nervous. So they think that I'm just very excited about the job and an upbeat person in general, when really I'm so nervous I could scream. :eek:

LOL..well i don't giggle alot, i just get tongue tied. Him: do you have any questions? Me: umm..uhh..not really, i think you pretty much answered all of my questions during the introduction (they took all applicants in one room and showed some slides and told about the product and the job) knowing damn good and well i had a million questions before he took me in that room, but they all left me as soon as he asked the question. the other questions i did ok on..like why do you think you'd be an asset to this company, well because i'm hard working and dedicated, just looking for a company to give me a chance to prove myself. Him: money is a motivating factor isnt' it? me: yes, it is, especially when you're a single mother of 3 of course then i also went into how i really just wanted to start out in the work force as my 3 kids were getting older and it was time ;) my interview took all of about 5 minutes, the first guy was in there for like 10-15 *shrugs* i just totally SUCK at interviews. not to mention, i'm 29 years old, and i've had ONE job my entire life. i've been a stay at home mom the rest of my life. so i'm pretty sure i'm going to be told that i'm not qualified when i call back. i do like that they tell you the same day instead of making you wait on them to call you back. *shrugs* i'm not gonna get discouraged, because honestly, this isn't the job i wanted anyway, but if they feel i'm qualified i will defiantly give it a shot..what can it hurt? ;)

I was married young, and had never had a job longer than 6 months before then. I didn't have any children, but I did have a nervous break down that first year I was married. So I quit the job I had then and just was the happy housewife. After my then husband started school, I had agreed to go back to work. I had 10 interviews, and filled out 30 aps before Mcd's highered me. I worked part time then, and didn't intend to go any further. I was just a house wife making some extra money to ease the burdon on my husband.

When he left me, I decided to go into management. I told the store manager I had no choice, I needed the extra money to beable to support myself.

I remember the interview when I was certified. The dm asked me where I saw myself going in the company. I told her no where. I didn't want to go any further, I make ren clothes, and I want to own my own business doing just that. She sort of smiled at me, and then talked about what the benifits are of going further, which I didn't listen to at the time. I was completely honest with her. I told her about my up comming devorse, and how I only took this job in the first place because they were the only ones that called me back, and what I had planned for my life. She listened, but I think she saw something in me that I didn't know I had.

She sent me to classes, and that's when I decided I wanted to go further, and she was excited to hear that I would be going further.

My point is, I didn't expect anything from this job. I didn't even want it really. But it has been a great opertunity. I also want to point out that I went to a lot of interviews, and felt great discouragement before some one finally took a chance on me. It may take a while, you may not get the first job, you may not get the tenth. But some where you will find some one willing to take a change on a single mom just trying to provide for her kids. :rose:

:rose: Congratulations....and try to keep an open mind on whether this is the job for you. Obviously someone thought you could do it, and who knows, you might find you actually love it once you get past the nerves and unsureness of it all. :cathappy: Also don't sell yourself short because you have been a single mum....lots of people are starting to realise just how many skills and talents that takes, under a diversity of conditions, all of which can be transferred to the workplace in a way which makes you a very valueable assett. :nana:

thank you everyone, and cat i am defiantly going in with an open mind and open eyes as well. i don't' like that they advertised the job as customer service instead of what it actually is (sales) but we'll see how it all goes. i start training tomorrow at 1:00 :rose: ;)

well would you have gone in if it said sales? ;)

Anything where you have to deal with customes can be called customer service, but not that many people are sure of them selves enough to go in for a sales job. especially when you work on commistion. But they may find they're good at it, once they get in there.

no, i wouldn't have and that's just it, i don't like being deceived into applying for a job, so it shows me pretty much from the jump that they are a bit shady, but it goes with the business...*smiles*
