As everyone knows , these are NOT the best times to be looking for a Job . Qing being here almost one year , she is eager to go out into the workplace and away from just staying at home .
The first thing worrying her , is of course her English ability in a Workplace .. what ever that might turn out to be/become . So where to start looking ?
We have been keeping an Eye out on Business windows , if anyone is looking for Help . After weeks and weeks gone by , nothing doing there . Next step , sign-up with a Local Employment Agency . That has brought in nothing as of now either . A little discouraged , we resort to the good ole Computer and try to find something through the Internet . Signing up for a Super Market as a Clerk seemed to be our first goal . This backfired quickly .. two way's .
First : To sign up one needs a Cell phone number ( house number NOT good ) , which we did not have had at that moment .
Second : After just trying to do this , I now get about 50-60 darn E-Mails from all over .. about Job's available . If there are so many Job open , then why are they sooo many un-employed People ?
So now , we went to get signed up for a Cell phone plan and are getting rid of our House phone . No need for both , when we carry our phone's with us at all or most of the time .
Back to the Computer , now having a Cell phone number for the sign-in . But one thing is different now , being upset over all those incoming E-Mails .. I lost interest in giving anybody else our ( my actually ) E-Mail Address anymore . So it will be back to the Face to Face kind of looking for work . One other thing we had thought of , was .. Qing becoming a Nurse's Assistant and go to School for that . Along with her ESL Classes .
Only time will tell how it will turn out and what will happen in the near Future . In the meanwhile , I'm comfortable with just me working .. as it is getting us by in a not too bad situation . Especially after we are about to sign our new Mortgage Refy with just 1% on the Loan .
Not being able to find work must be a little discouraging for Qing.
ReplyDeleteMartin , yes it can be .. and sometimes it shows that it does bother her . This is where one also must show patience all over again , on her part .
