i'm waiting to hear from a job at the humane society a job i really want, and now i'm waiting for their reply, been waiting for 2half weeks. i'm getting antzy waiting. why to employers take so long to get back to you? all they have to do is say yes or no. this is espicially hard when your single, unemployed and triing to take care of the bills and mortgage payments by yourself. can anyone relate?

Just do it... Humane Society is one of those organizations that is ALWAYS in need of help. Call the person, let them know you also have an interest in volunteering for them. This will show your goodwill and effort that you have a true interest and what better way for a foot in the door.

I used to write a letter to the person that interviewed me, thanking them for taking the time and how much I enjoyed meeting them and learning about the company and the opening that was available. I've gotten more jobs doing this and found that the boss was friendlier to me. Give it a try, if the job you wanted has been taken, they will remember you for the next opening.

okay... so just go down there and ask them what the status is. Or call them. It's that simple. It's sort of like waiting for someone to call you for a date and they aren't interested. Find out and move on.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
