This is a topic that is near and dear to my heart.
As I have been teaching through this recession I’ve been seeing some hard things.
There are people in the community that are having a brutally hard time getting a job. I am here to tell you, these people are trying everything:
- They are taking classes.
- They are working at jobs well below their capabilities (grocery stores, waiting tables, etc).
- They are not giving up.
But they just aren’t having any luck getting a job.
This touches me because I had a brutally terrible time getting a job. Outside of restaurants, the only people that ever believed in me were at the Medina Ohio Web hosting company – InfoVUE.net. No one else would hire me.
I got turned down for such things as:
- Phone-based customer service at a chemical company.
- Sales for a manufacturing company.
- Car sales.
- A guy who moved web files from a development server to a production server.
There is little that scares me more than the idea that someday I would have to try to get full time work from a company.
I have been called things like:
- Loose canon
- Free thinker
- Independent
People say they want those things at their company but I don’t believe it.
I believe there are others out there just like me.
In fact, I know it, I’ve seen them first hand.
