Worst job
A couple years ago I was not doing much after graduating. I was trying to pass a tragedy. My uncle, a friend, and I got into a wreck and they both got severally heart, but I did not. Trying to get passed this I started call people that I knew seeing if I could get a job. After a while I got a call from a friend in Arizona got me a job working for the oil company so I though. This job was the one and for most worst job ever.

First, about a week went by while I was getting settled in my aunts apartment after that I got drove to work the first day. My job was an hour drive into the city of Phoenix. When I got there I was greeted by my friend Josiah. We sat down then the boss came in and he started telling me what the job was all about. Turns out that the job had nothing to do with the oil company it was only invested by a oil company. The job was sitting in front of a computer for hours on end calling businesses seeing if they had any delinquent accounts, so I was working for a collection agency. This was just the start on my worst job experience.

Second, this collection agency that I just got hired into on false pretences really angry me mad. It was one of the jobs I said I would never do, but I was there and I gave it a shot. When I was done getting trained they sent me off on my own to see how I did. All I had to do was push a button on the computer and it would call the first person on my list of thousands of numbers. The first business I called and I remember it vary vividly it was a car dealership. When I finally able to talk to the manager I introduced myself and told him why I was calling and who I worked for. It was really stupid to think that he would talk to me without hanging up, but he did he stayed on the phone long enough to tell me that I’m a stupid ass for what I do for a living and for wasting his time then he hung up. This happed more time then I can remember, but I had to get someone to talk to me and go

    These two job scenarios were a rude awakening and I realized that we should not always get to comfortable at a job or jump so quickly into a new one. Shortly after being jobless for the second time around in the same year I had low spirits, nothing going for myself, I just simply didn’t want to do anything. I lost myself. One day I met up with one of close friends and wow did she ever lecture me, but the words that gave me comfort were “Everything will turn out all right”. These small, simple words turn things around for me. I’ve always heard people say it but never put too much thought into…

    Before I went back to school I had worked at several places that paid minimum wage and did not offer much room for advancement. I tried convenient store work, Medical Records Clerk, or Unit Secretary, and even driving a semi tractor trailer over the road. I just was not making very much money. Oh, I paid my bills…

    After working for JPMorgan Chase for 7 years I was laid off April of 2013 and it’s a year that I have been without a job has made me realize that I had to change my life around, plan for a new career and going back to school really put a damper in my life. Change in a new career is very scary and thought of going back to school that I have not attended since my oldest daughter was born was even scarier. Not only those challenges occurred but during this time I was engaged and married a few weeks before I was laid off. Now I have brand new family to care for, my wife, her two kids and my high school daughter came to live with us. Moved in to a one bedroom apartment with 5 people, no job, receiving unemployment, my wife also had no job except for what she receives for her son’s SSI got really challenging. Yes, of course negative thoughts and negative attitude started settling in. Job application after job applications no calls and no interviews for 4-6 months. No one was hiring and especially I being over qualified for some jobs or no degree set me back even more. This was a huge life changing experienced in my life ever. Knowing that my sisters and mom had their own families to care for and my wife’s family going through the same similar situations got even harder. My unemployment was running out and knowing that there was no extension by the end of December was another negative outcome to the situation.…

    After high school I attempted to pursue more of an education at Miller Hawkins Business College. I was only able to finish nine months of this college due to my husband re-enlisting in the United States Navy. At that time I was six months pregnant with my first child. With this move I withdraw from college and move with my husband to Pensacola, Florida. I did not continue my education; instead I started our family and put my education on hold. After 17 years of marriage and 3 children my marriage failed and all I had was my work experience and had lived secured by the military life. At this point I decided that I truly would like to finish what I had started over 20 years ago and get my degree in accounting. I believed that it was time to do something for myself and to fulfill some of my goals that I had started years ago.…

    A wise person once told me to “find a career and I will never be without a job.” I took that statement and ran with it! My freshman year everyone was motivating and questioning me on my future and what I wanted to do with. It started off as a counselor until I realized I do not necessarily BASK listening to INCONSOLABLE stories all day! Next it was a meteorologist, but can’t we look outside and see that it's raining? Then it was a teacher, and for that one let's just everything isn't for everybody! I found myself becoming BEWILDERED and feeling DESOLATED because I had peeked my junior year; the year where everything is supposed to be VAST and ready to go, and I was still AMBIVALENT on what I wanted “in the real world” as I heard in the many EXPOUNDING lectures. It was not until the summer of my senior year that God had finally put it in my heart to become a Pediatric Nurse Advisor; to become this person that can ASSUAGE and ABATE people, to become the…

    I remember when I was 17 how elated I was when I got my first official job working at the mall but that that changed quickly. I remember my view on the world was naive to say the least but that was abruptly shattered as soon as I was exposed to such a negative work climate. I remember my boss introducing me to all my coworkers and he made a snide remark about an older coworker. The lady was about 68 years young or so who worked with me, and she seemed to talk about her grandchildren all the time. I guess to some it was off putting but I liked that she cared about her family. The problem with her work performance was the fact that she wasn’t computer literate. Now mind you we didn’t work at a store where you needed to have incredible understanding…

Since that time I have had difficulty finding a new job and have been turned down several times.

    So I started to pursue other goals. Ended up going to beauty school to become a cosmetologist I did that for so long and realize that was not my true passion it was just more of a hobby, then I decide to do medical billing and collections which I love doing because I get to help people. Once again it was still something inside of me that made me feel like something was missing and this too was not my true calling so I just forgot about it and went on with my life.

    As much as I wished everything would resolve itself, sometimes life needs a catalyst. I tried my hardest to get a job but to no avail, I was left with nothing but blunt denials due to my age. I realized we were dealt a bad hand but I also knew that somebody out there had it worse than us. Later in December I received a call from my local Walgreens and got to work in the front end of the store. Without hesitation I accepted the minimum wage opening and began to realize the reasoning behind my Mom's worries about work. She wanted me to study full-time and not be bothered by the dilemmas that came with work. Soon enough my life was revolving around 40 hours work weeks, which sometimes went to 50 near holidays. My everyday routine consisted of 2 AM closings and 8 AM chemistry classes. My life became more about surviving rather than actually living some of the best years of my life. Before I knew it, I had gotten my first failing grade of a D in general chemistry 2 and would have to expend all the money I ever earned on summer classes. That move took a lot out of me as I learned a very valuable , literally, lesson about…

    LIfe Goals

    I left college for a year to come back home and work. At the time that I left school I didn’t think that it was for me. I was working my butt off at school every day with no reward. At times I felt as if it was all for nothing. I didn’t have a job, I needed money and I stayed stressed out and bogged down with all different types of coursework. I just felt that my talents and effort could be put to better use elsewhere. I felt that if I dropped out and became employed full time that that situation would better suit me. However, after having had taken the working man’s route and still barely making ends meet I feel like I made an irrational decision by leaving college. I also found out that a college graduate has the potential to make up to a million more dollars in their lifetime as opposed to those with only a high school diploma. That tiny bit of information was enough to change my mind and lead me towards wanting to get back into school. I made a hasty decision in leaving school in the first place. I was more concerned about my current living situation instead of being focused on long term goals and how successful I wanted to be later on in life. I guess I can say that I had a little growing up to do. Now I can confidently say that I’m more focused than I’ve ever been in my entire life and that nothing will hinder me from becoming successful.…

    I had always known I wanted to go back into school, however I started working and earning good money. I wasn’t doing very well in school; I actually failed a class and had to pay it and that is when I stopped going to school. I didn’t want to pay more than $1000, just to go back. One day I started analyzing myself, in the company I was in and that there really wasn’t much growth in there. I was seeing that all my friends were graduating, some of them were already working on their masters and some of them were making even more money. So I knew I had a problem, I had stopped chasing my dream because I was too busy wasting my money in other things. So after a lot of thinking, over- analyzing I started making payments and came back into school.…
