and now I am here. I’ve applied to two other schools and pulled out before starting, I just did not get a

I got a job as a bank teller just to have something to keep me going while I was trying to figure my life out. My experience at that bank was horrible. My manager was awful to the customers and to the employees and half of the customer base did not speak English. A close friend of mine saw how miserable I was and pointed out that I was doing the same mediocre job as I did back home. He encouraged me to quit and go back to school. So on my first day off, I went to the bank, handed in my name tag, explained what a horrible person my manager was, said “thank you” and “goodbye”. I got in my car and headed straight to Madison College and registered for the fall semester. I was not sure what I wanted to do with my life, but I would figure that out while I completed my general education

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.”

I had only a month to move out. My family wasn’t doing so well financially, so it was hard to find a good place that was cheap. In the end, we had to settle for a place in San Bruno. My mom and I were told that I could still go to Mills, the high school that I really wanted to go to, but we weren’t aware that we had to apply for an intradistrict transfer.

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 day of the interview happened in April and I followed Marlin 's advice and in the end, my bosses liked what I had to offer to them and they gave me the job. It was during this time that I was informed that I would be undergoing a training session for the next four weeks and I was going to be evaluated for my performance by a supervisor to see if I was need more training.

Plans that I had set for myself after high school, were me getting a job and attending college full time. When I first attended college for the fall of 2016, everything seemed complete...until I would hear all my peers discuss about their jobs. I felt left out and I thought to myself that I needed a job as soon as possible. I started to submit as many as job applications that were available, which was easy because most job applications now ask rudimentary questions. There was a point where I really didn’t care what kind of job it was, as long as it helped me on making money I was open for anything. Days passed and I heard nothing from any places, until one evening I get a call from a manager asking me if was open for an interview so I of course said yes.

Keep in mind that your resume is not supposed to be a complete catalogue of your skills and achievements. You use your resume to get into a job interview, not to get a job – very few people get hired just based on the resume.
