I sent my resume to a place just this morning for an assistant manager's job in Media Production for a school here in New York. It is a great job - and NOT just the money although that part is amazing. It would be so cool to get the call for that one BUT I'm just glad I got something for now.

Sometimes that counts for more than money.

Then again, sometimes it doesn't.

But good luck, Drew, from all of us to you....

Congratulations!!!

don't celebrate too much this weekend... ...just enough

That first Friday when I lost my job I sat at my desk here and cried - now its just giggles baby

You'll probably love this job and meet some interesting people

And we all know it is easier to find a better job, or get a promotion, once you are working.
Congrats!

on Wednesday and is working the 3:30 to 10:30. It is a courtesy clerk position but as learning disabled adult with other health issues he is on cloud nine. Best of luck to you.

You're a team player. Just one thing - wear your shoes.

Giddy is good~

... Here's a great big kiss of congratulations!

So happy for you!

Hope it leads to bigger and better for you.

...but I can say from recent experience getting a new a job myself that 12-8 overnight shift SUCKS getting used to sleep-wise for a while, lol!

There's a company in Toronto that is just like the one I used to work for - a media monitoring company. I thought about sending them my resume but I don't know how difficult that would be if they actually were to hire me. I'm going to send it anyway just for the hell of it - I figure why not right.

Got lucky and beat out 20 others for a Canadian Forestry Service 9-month internship position.

It pays to try!

Two years is a long time to go without a paycheck. Happened to me a few years ago, 15 months -- and I went through all my savings and ended up having to pack up and move when I finally got a job offer out of state.

Hope you enjoy it. 12-8 will be... interesting.

A couple of months ago I had to cash out an IRA - the LAST of my old 401k money. Now I will only have to use about $400 a month to make up the short fall from what I'll be making on this job. Starting in January I think I'm going to set up on 500px and try to sell some of my photographs. I probably won't make a whole lot from it but the satisfaction of knowing people might like my stuff well enough to buy it would be nice.

...for photos and you can share them with us in the Photography group. I do enjoy your photos and I'm sure others will as well.

Good luck!

I hope it will lead to what you want down the road.
I'm so glad you are grateful to this degree. It's the key to happiness.

Can you use the subway there and back?

The train to Times Square and the crosstown 42nd Street bus to 11th avenue. The job is on 11th Avenue between 42nd and 41st streets. Now New Years Eve - if I'm working that night well that will be a trip.

Know how THAT feels!

Best of luck, and enjoy.

Or maybe you'll like it there and stay.

Good luck and congrats on your new job!

Are you going to be on Detex patrol?

I'll be at a desk in the lobby of a residential building. I'll have to stand for the whole 8 hour shift but I don't care - just sign the check and deposit it in my checking account.

I loved that character.

Tit for tat!

Congrats, Johnny. May this be the start of a brisk climb upward. I hope the midnight shift gives you plenty of time to catch up on all those Russian novels you've been putting off reading!

Congratulations! GREAT news! Thank you for sharing it with us! Stuff like this perks us all up!

Unemployment sucks. It ain't no holiday, although some people seem to think it is

Night shift security work can take its toll on ya, especially at first, but you do get used to it. Good luck!

My husband and I just became employed this year after a LONG period of time. I KNOW how you're feeling right now and it's just the best! And you're going to sleep very well tonight. Congratulations again.

it flies in the fact of the teabaggers who think people on unemployment are just takers who don't really want to work. I'd hire you any day over those negative, hateful people. I've been in HR for many, many years and when I see people like you with that grateful attitude, I always keep an eye on them for future openings.

Good luck!

Congratulations! Here's to your new job.



And the graveyard shift can be interesting.

Went down this path myself... nearly two years and the job I finally landed pays about half of what I used to make, but it's a job and fortunately, I do have health insurance.

Thank goodness for ACA, which will allow you to have insurance.

Good luck!!!

Congratulations!!

All our best to you.

one of my favorite DU photographers. Will you take pictures?

No pictures ON the job but on my own time - oh hell yeah.

but you already know that.

It's tough, hard to wait...

Good for you! I've been out of work since September 11, 2009. My stepfather has agreed to put me in business again, and Im opening a restaurant up in White Plains in January (after many delays). It's been very difficult, and before my stepdad stepped in I actually considered suicide. Better days ahead!

That it's easier to get a job when you have a job- the stench of desperatation is removed. I got let go from a job I had for 8 years- took a lessor of a job, then soon after got a really good job. Good luck with your new job

of all manner of good things happening.

I went on a job interview today... only my second in six months, and it went really well... Second interview will be during the last week of October.

I just got an email this morning (on Saturday!) they want me in for a second interview. This coming Thursday.

Do a good job. Serve your customers/clients well. Make a difference. Good things will happen.

Congrats !!!

Even though it's not exactly what you need, you never know what it may lead to. Who knows, maybe you'll meet someone there who can offer you or lead you to something better down the road.

YAY YOU!!! CONGRATS!

Congratulations!

and best wishes!

You will make the best of it! Great job, finding a job. In that area you may run into a celebrity or two.

I bet it leads to bigger & better things for you. Good luck!

They say it's always easier to find another job while still employed, so hopefully
this will be the first step back in the direction you want to go!

Enjoy that paycheck!

good luck

I wish you the best of luck in your new job.

Eom

And, who knows where this will lead you?

ps. I also LOVE your photography so please make time for that.

Congratulations to you for sticking it out and landing the gig. This will lead to more opportunities, I'm sure.

There's perks - it's peaceful at night, less traffic, less noise, you got that sleep vibe out and about, the stars and moon are up, and you always, always, get to see the sun rise. It was alright with me. Kind of like watching something everyone else was missing out on. Heh heh. Congrats on the paycheck!

As someone else who once spent two+ years without a job, I know how good it feels to finally get that chance. It's an uphill battle - right now, I don't have any benefits either, with my job as a desk clerk at a hotel. Thanks to the ACA though, I should be able to get health insurance too - once they get the kinks out of the program.

The paycheck helps, but, in my opinion - it does not help as much as the return of hope, confidence, and pride. One day (provided we don't nuke ourselves into oblivion and aren't wiped out by global warming) I firmly believe our society will become so advanced technologically and socially that "work" as it is commonly considered and accepted now, will become a thing of the past, due largely to robotics and processes that make just about everything automatic. Imagine a world in which no one had to spend 8, 10, 12 or more hours a day in a cubicle just to survive. Imagine a world in which the very thought of that was appalling. Imagine if we could, instead, spend our lives with our families, imagine how much we could improve our educational system, our food distribution system, so many things will become better in the years to come, it's almost unimaginable.

That time isn't here yet though. What gets me through my days, isn't so much the job itself, or the necessary paycheck (though it helps!) but the people that I come into contact with every day. The people who change my life for the better and make the world I'm living in just a little brighter every time I see them.

Good luck with your job and with your journey. Just keep in mind that no matter what happens, it is not the job, nor the money that ultimately defines you or makes you worthy of respect, kindness, and decency. It is who you are. And from what I've seen, I'd say you're a pretty awesome person. That alone, is worth more than the best job in the world.

Thanks - a job is just a job - it doesn't define who I am . That is so true

Yours is a prime example that all these right wingers are wrong. Most Americans want to work, we just need to create enough jobs for them and that is the issue...not people wanting to be lazy.

Congrats and glad to hear your qualify for Medicaid now.

Hope this leads to bigger and better opportunities!

It's easier to get a job when you already have one, so I hope this will allow you the opportunity to use this position as a Springpad in the future.

Congratulations!!

and I know how difficult it is both financially and emotionally. I'm really happy for you.

I been there. Go get 'em!

Make it work to your advantage in any and every way possible....
