I have 25 years experience, I have multiple contacts in the area I'd be working - I'm taking a serious cut in terms of what I could POTENTIALLY earn at my current company just to go back to working for a smaller, local lender which is what my company used to be. I don't have to leave, I'm choosing to - if they want me they'll do it, if not they won't. I'm also looking into a different job at my current employer but that's actually a longer shot.
If they offer me the job I know I'd kick myself if I didn't at least ask.

Thats good , then you can call the shots.....Pam lost her job and has 23 years and finding it tough...a ton of contacts....but no one is hiring , right now......a little different in CT then VT due to population and CT having one of the highest unemployment rate in the country....good luck to ya!!

Hope you get that extra week of vacation for MOTM next year, Pam.

you all need to get a state job!!! started with 4 weeks and the president of the college decided to close the school down the week after Christmas.. aww.. what a nice guy! So apparently I'm "one of those people" now!

the question now is.. what to do with that week after Christmas?! hmmm...

I have applied to two of them just waiting to be picked for first interviews, keeping my fingers crossed maybe I should cross my toes but that would make it hard to walk

Oh I'm covered for MOTM I just may not be able to stay MORE than a week. It's my "Mom & me" vacation that's in jeopardy and I know she looks forward to it - as do I.

crossing fingers and toes for ya here too!

Fins crossed for Pam and Barb!!!

Another day closer!!!!

Pam........my son just started his first post college job in July and gets two weeks until he's been there 15 years!!!! Four weeks don't start until you've been there 25! It's outrageous! Talk about burn out........

The last couple of years my mantra has been "I'm lucky I have a job" Now I don't know.
After being out of the work force for almost 8 years, I took a PT temp job. I wasn't planning on staying but I figured it was a good way to jump back in. The position is below the level I had when I was working but I figured what the hay. I've been here 3.5 yrs now because of the poor economy/job market. I'm suppose to only work 31 hrs. because after that their policy is to pay benefits, which this position doesn't receive. Of course I'm here more than 31. I do accrue a whopping 2 hrs. of PTO a month. I take vacation (5 weeks) unpaid and view that as "my benefit". This past year my manager hasn't been too receptive about my time off. If she says I can't take my 2 weeks this May...I'm calling in gone.

Hope I get one of those state/school jobs too!!

Sorry I hijacked, back to the thread topic

Unfortunately they can't afford me - I've been in sales too long and the pay is good.

more days til we're back in the warm Florida Keys for MoTM 2011

Occurs to me it's going to be quite the challenge to find numbers you want to use - I don't think you started this early last year!! I feel certain you can do it!
