36. Good for you!

Jul 2013

It took me almost 5 years to finally find work, so I know exactly what you are feeling. Mine started as partime, 20 hrs a week, and I just got bumped up to 35 three weeks ago. Got my fingers crossed that very soon I make the transition from the temp agency that is technically my "employer," to a fulltime, regular for the place I actually work at.

Those of us that have survived that hell that is being long term unemployed, know just how devastating it is to every aspect of your life, not the least of which is your self-image.

Your good news is the highlight of day. Now get out there and dazzle 'em!
