May it be everything you need, Nut!! This is a particularly rotten time of year to be living with uncertainty, I know. Fingers crossed that it works out for the best, 2x4 at the ready in case this is some heartbreaking scam.

Nut Pmmed me because I was being all motherly as usual
I'm glad he feels confident about this new adventure!

Glad the 2x4 won't be necessary.

There is nothing wrong with concern. I truly appreciate it.
The "up front" costs are similar to those that I had to pay when I was starting my "career"......very loose useage of that particular word, as a Real Estate agent.
A class to learn the basics of what my job will entail, and a state licensing exam to help regluate those selling the product. The certification test is to protect those selling and those buying, so the "wolves don't get into the sheep and hen houses" of sorts.

AMEN to that Ginger! you are so correct.
Keep that 2x4 around, though, because I might need it to beat sense into myself or my prospective clients.

No new posts here since before the holidays... Is it safe to assume because you are pleasantly employeed and that there is hope out here for us other job seekers?
Please say yes, please say yes, please say yes.

Sal,
I'm in a training program for a sales career that will be starting soon. So, yes technically I have a job.
Good luck, because I know how tough it is out there. One of my friends has been out of work since March, and still hasn't got a job.

Bad news, good news??
I failed my licencing test, so I am not going to be able to get into the sales career, at this point and time.
By chance, I bumped into a friend last night when getting myself some dinner, and he may know of a job opening, I will find out more when I meet with him on Monday!

Just enjoy your weekend buddy. I'm still thinking I made a good point about the press credentials though.

Well, back to the drawing board.
Yet another job where I am either "overqualified" or they don't expect me to work for very long for the wage being offered, and so they have decided that the easiest result is to not worry about "wasting" money to train me, and they gave the job to someone else.
Has anyone been keeing track of the number of times that I've heard the phrase overqualified over the past 10 months? I bet I could put a good downpayment on a house or something if I had $100 for each time.
Being a former manager I understand not wanting to waste company money and time to train someone for a job they might leave within a few months, but why isn't anyone seeing the fact that I'm not even being OFFERED many jobs, so why would I leave right away?
The bottom line is that I need a job, ANY job, minimum wage or otherwise, why is it so difficult to see that the job offers haven't been rolling in, so why would I leave within 3-6 months or so??
Can anyone explain this to me?
