I just received an email from a (former) possible employer.
Again I've been told thanks but no thanks. We have a couple candidates who are more familiar with "mail order" processing.
How in the hell do you know if I am qualified or familiar with it if you didn't ask?
I will end up at freaking Wal-Mart.....
I have no formal education, but I have a lot of experience. Not everyone could afford to go to college in my day.
I work hard. I put my heart and soul into whatever job I have,
And no one wants to give me a chance.
There are so few jobs available as it is - and I am older, I made more money than anyone wants to pay apparently. I've been told I'm "over qualified"....
I am angry. I am hurt. I am depressed as hell.
I want to work. I want a job where I can contribute and use my experience. I do not want a job where I do not have to think and just do the same thing over and over. I am too old to work two or three part time or full time minimum wage jobs.
I did NOT say I am too good to work those types of jobs. I will if I have to.
Part of my job was "out sourced". Part. Get that? Part. I did the work of two or three people and they cut my job. Now others are working even harder than they were before (I have talked to them - hence I know of what I speak) and the old bosses friend is making money - they gave my job to his company.
Yep, I'm angry.
Yep, I'm worried as hell.
And yes, I'm scared.

Many of us have enjoyed the fruits of The Bush Economic Miracle.
I have been forced to change jobs twice since 2000, and I've had to take a pay cut both times. Even at that, I realize I am luckier than you (and a lot of other Ohioans) are.
Things won't change until the current greed-driven "leadership" is replaced with someone who gives a damn about the fate of America. We've got till at least 2009 to see that, and then maybe even longer.
In the mean time, Google Adsense and affiliate programs?
Wow we could be twins. Same shizznet here, different day. Oh well. Just keep pounding the pavement.
