The first thing I did was take a  look at my resume. My resume needed to be fixed. I learned that a resume needs to be put together in the most professional

And then, gave excuses why it wasn’t possible. The job market is competitive. And that it’s important that I stay put and make an effort to network.

I decided to attend the University but first I needed a job to do so. At the time, I was still living at home and dependent on my parents. I knew they would not be able to support me for long so I had to get a job. I sent out many resumes but didn't get called back. I was becoming impatient and annoyed at the whole situation of not getting a job.”

stood in my own way was when I applied for a job on December 30, 2016. After applying for a

I was talking to my friends on Skype, and I heard them mention something about a snapcode, they needed it for school forms. “I don’t have a snapcode,” I thought, I told my mom and we went to the district offices to get it. They told me that since I didn’t apply for the transfer, I would have to go to Capuchino High School.

In the late 1980s, I attained my first full-time job was an Office Automation Clerk with the U.S. Secret Service in their Personnel Division, Employee Benefits Branch. At the prime age of 17 years old, I evenhanded graduated from high school with honors, within one week away from my 18th birthday. During my senior year in high school, I decided it would be a good idea to at least take the entry level clerical federal government examination. Although, I was planning to go to college full time immediately out of high school; my parents had been separate during most of my senior year and was in the process of a divorce. Therefore, I put a backup plan in place by considering obtaining employment after high school, to help pay for my higher education, and if necessary have the means to care for my basic living means; in the event my parents’ college savings plan for became one of their financial battles during their divorce. Much to my heartbreak, my parents’ divorce battle consumed attorney’s fees and used the educational financial plan for my higher

Leaving school meant that I had to go look for a job to support myself. Finding a job was easy than most people made it sounded to be as I acquired a job in less than three days at a temp agency. Never in my life have I ever had a real job this was my first job, but I did have experience working with my dad on fixing houses. The job was an assembly company where they build lawnmowers; the management that I was placed under was a nightmare, laziest boss in the world. Shortly after gaining experience I was promoted to a lead operator, a small manager, this was the first time that I was over twenty people who were all older than me. The company was quite terrifying as people were getting laid off and production was slow. At one point there were

When this happen I had recently moved back in with my parents after graduating with a bachelor’s degree in wildlife biology and management from the University of Wyoming. I was researching different masters programs and jobs debating where I wanted to go and exactly what I wanted to do with my degree. I figured I would end up going back to school because I have

During the training I met the person that changed my career life; her name was Isabel, whom I might add, was the VP of a non-profit organization. She gave me her card and told me once the course finishes to give call her. She informed that, the agency where she works was in the process of creating two new positions and she felt that I was a perfect candidate. After I completed the training, I gave her a call; she expressed to me that they still ironing the last details of the positions, and that in about 2-3 months the position could be mine. After few months of waiting, I started to work as a preventive services case aide; I worked there for about 2 years; however, I transferred to another department that was closer to home. At the new position, I was working as a family support worker, I worked there for about 5 years, but life happens. Now I have been working as a case manager for about 7 years and my next step, hopefully is to acquire my degree and start my own non-profit

I returned to school after re-entering the workforce after being a stay at home parent for nearly 8 years. I had found employment in property management; a field I was adept in and had received promotions previously. However, I found it to be unfulfilling. At the same time

Upon graduating from UC Santa Barbara, I went into a dark hole in my life. I was suffering from a slight depression, I was unemployed and I felt like my life was going backwards instead of going forward. Into my fifth month of unemployment, I landed a part-time job as a special education specialist helping students on the spectrum with their academics. While my time there, I got the opportunity to learn about the various ways students on the spectrum get assess and how it is presented to the district officials. Onto the fifth month, I saw that my stabilizing income was not enough. I mentioned this struggle to one of my friends and he asked me if I would be interested in working in a warehouse for a logistic company. I had to take some time

The acquisition of my current job is probably the only time in my lifetime where I had to go through a sophisticated enculturation process unlike anything I have ever experienced before. The year was in 2014 and I was in the process of looking for a job that I could be able to financially support myself. It was around this time that I learned about what employers were looking for when they were hiring potential employees. By looking through various internet websites, I noticed a trend that employers were looking for people who were excited to work for them and they had the dedication to grow and improve themselves at their companies. Additionally it would be in my best interest for to submit as many job applications to as many companies
