Good for her!

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

.― Lucy Maude Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

I got my first interview few days ago from a construction company and it turned out good, so im looking forward for a second interview and to finally get that job.

Hey, feather, good luck with the job. I hope your customers tip at least 20% every time... :D

I am starting to think that I should get off my bum and look for work. I am keeping my eyes open but I am fairly limited here in Greencastle. Small town, small jobs, paying no where near what I was making in the UK... :(

i have been living here over 2 years already and I haven't worked a day outside our home yet :blush: I always have an excuse :whistle:

I'll be starting work officially on Monday, yay! I was lucky to get the job in the Research & Dev't., biotech sector. The agreed salary is good, will earn higher than my USC husband.

Oops, I can't edit my post. Now, my secret is out . I meant to say the pay will be well above the min. wage (CA), and okay.. also better than husband's! :blush::P

Edited: testing the edit button

I am a qualifies Counselor in the UK. My first job here was a counselor (though not the same as in the UK) at a Housing Association working doing HUD applications....hated it...never saw a client just did paperwork!! My second job is my current job...I am a mental health casemanager for a rural behavioral health center.......isnt quite what I want to do but I do love it...and I am using my counselling skills for sure !!!!

BTW my Counselling qualifications are not recognised here and I work with aperson who has a Batchelors in Psychology who just doesnt have a clue...but she gets paid more than me.........annoys the heck out of me but I just dont think I can start it all over again to earn a little more than I do now!!!! I am just glad of the opportunity I have in my current job!

Don't kid yourself Marilyn :) being at home is a job too...I did it for quite some time. Homemaking IS a career. :)

I agree.

The other reason that I haven't got a job is simply because I spend a lot of my spare time renovating this house. That's why when I do work it will be a part time thing.
