Companies hiring this week

Three years ago, I decided to go back to school partime taking night classes. i was in a dead end job for 8 1/2 years. My supervisior at the last minute decided to change my work schedule the day before I started my classes. he told me that my school schedule was no concern of his and thats when I decided to leave my job.I'm two semesters away of receving my bachelor's degree in business with an emphasis in human resource management. Since then my credit rating went into the toilet and I know some employers check credit reorts before they hire you.Its been an emotional rolleroaster ride for me, and their are days when I feel their is no hope.

I feel your pain. I decided to go back to college as well, kids are not grown yet however. It might turn out that I get smart and open my own business as well, since that is my major. I am tired of working for people who do not value a great emplpyee, who comes into work everyday, puts forth their best effort, and goes well beyond the call of duty just to get laid off. As if 6 years of someone's life was nothing. Also, this Employment At Will needs to stop, and I am know my HR Rules. I assume it isn't going to get better for most of us just yet, but this is not going to pay our bills, mortgage, and now the high gas prices. Maybe leaving the USA will be the only option anymore...thus living in a third world country we would learn to live off the earth, atleast have food, and not worry so freaken much everyday. Almost three years now for me, and yes I have applied to over hundreds of jobs. No one wants to pay, they expect you to live off minimum wage and feed a family of five? I am not ungratefull and unsatisfied as to why peeople who will walk, who opt out of being insane to find work, who have skills, and meet the Requirements of the job are still being turned down. Something is just not right. Ok enough of my thoughts, but somethings is going to have to be done for single mothers who are trying the best they can to keep it together for their children, not theirselves!

I hear you. I went back to college after my kids were grown. It has been 8 years since I graduated and have not found a job. I have created my own business. Work all the time, finding work, doing the work. Not making a large enough income yet but I hope to. At least I feel like I am in control of my life more than someone else. I have found some of the places I interviewed for, the interviewers were a joke and did not know how to do an interview and I believe they based their decision solely on if they liked talking to you, nothing more than that. And they will never admit to it, but if you are past a certain age, they will not hire you.
