Well today I went on my interview and I did pretty well. I was a lot more confident and relaxed, I guess because I’ve been on so many interviews already. Back in Ohio I’d be lucky to get one interview. I was told that if I get hired I’d know in a few days and then I will be starting a six week training class in November. I just hope I get the job.

Tomorrow I’m taking a break from job hunting…I deserve it. I’m tired of filling out job applications over and over. So I’m taking a day off to re-cooperate. I am so tired.

I have to some how get the title to my car from TKP too so I can register it. I don’t know why they never gave me my title after I paid it off in February, but they need to give it to me so I can take care of my business.

I pray I get the job so I can buy my plane tickets to get my boys. If I wait until the last minute then the tickets will be far too expensive.

Well I’m exhausted…I’m sleeping in tomorrow.

Goodnight.

I’m so tired of Jeremy accusing me all the time.

He abandoned us in April and now accuses me of cheating all the time when I’m not doing anything. It’s not my fault he decided to stay in Ohio. He knew I was moving and never tried to save, just like he couldn’t give me the $87 to go to Jamaica. That proved to me how much he really isn’t interested in me. Every time he does this I usually find out later that he’s the one doing stuff.

I told him it was over today because I’m tired of it now. Now that I am in Florida I don’t have to subjected to his abuse. I moved here for a new start and I’m not going to allow him to keep me down.

I’m tired of him everyday with the same BS. I don’t like anyone here, but maybe after being here for a while I’ll met someone that’s decent and then I can begin a new relationship without all the drama and problems.

Right now I’m just focused on getting everything set up for my sons so they can have the things that they need.

I really miss my boys…

Well I’m going to go cry now.

Well today I took my assessment test and I have an interview tomorrow at 2pm. Funny because I also have an interview for a file clerk at 1:45pm. I guess I have to choose between the two. Man…I wish God could say “Samara, just go to the [job name] interview because that’s the job I have blessed you with.”

This is a tough decision. What I learned about the interview I have at 2pm is that it’s an inbound call center that pays about 25000 a year starting off and the hours are from 8am-7pm. You will get a shift within that time frame which is fine with daycare as long as I can find daycare that has evening services and school pickup…or I will have to try to work shifts that don’t go beyond 5pm.

That’s more than I’ve ever got paid so hopefully I can get hired. They do 1 month of paid training starting in November so if I can get daycare assistance this month to put the boys in childcare next month that will be perfect! All I need to know is that I’m hired. Once I fill out those W2 forms I will be so happy if this happens for me.

I’m leaning more towards the call center than the file clerk for the simple fact that the call center is hiring multiple people not just one person so it’s less competition.

Again..Please God bless me with one of these jobs!

Well I have to go wash clothes now.

I have even more interviews to attend. I even have 2 on the same day. Someone has to hire me soon.

The interview I had today went well, even though I think I could have performed better…I’m very critical of myself. The interviewer said I was impressive with how organized I was. I came in with my portfolio and a copy of my references and resume. I also brought along my notebook to jot down answers to questions I had. I tried to stress how great my communication and customer service skills were and gave her cues of how interested I was in the job.

I hope I did well. There was another girl there, but I don’t remember seeing her with a portfolio or resume or anything with her…just her purse.

I know I tried to be as prepared and organized as possible, but that may not even counted…(Here I am doubting my self).

She told me they had some more interviews to do and that I’d hear from them soon…I really hope they remember me and choose me. That job is like a dream job for me. You sit and talk to patients and it focuses on wellness and natural healing. I love to learn about things like that.

I kept thinking it was something I forgot to do or could have done more of…then it dawned on me. The Thank-you letter!

I wrote the interviewer a thank-you letter and emailed her remembering to bring up something we discussed during the interview. Hopefully this will get me an even better chance of securing the job.

I am so anxious to get employed somewhere, but I can’t accept just any job. I need one that will work with my schedule and that one is perfect! 8-5pm.

Please God let me get this job…I don’t ask you for much of anything, please bless me with this job.

*Sigh*

Wish me luck again. Tomorrow I have another interview.

Yep, I have 2 interviews to prepare for. The lady never called me today for the interview that she claimed she would call me today for. Oh well.

So I have an interview tomorrow with a job I applied for on monster.com…

The lady called my cell while I was driving home and told me she was impressed that I followed her directions when applying. I pretended like I knew what she was talking about, but I didn’t. I applied at so many places in the last 2 days I didn’t know which one she was, but she mentioned the name if the company so after constantly repeating the address she gave me since I had no pen I wrote it down and went through all my sent emails.

I narrowed it down to 2 emails and then I finally discovered which one it was by the company name. What I did was sent a cover letter which Townsend trained me to write efficiently.

I quickly started researching her company and taking down key notes so I can be able to answer the famous “What do you know about our company?” question.

I then worked on my 60 second sell memorizing and re-writing it so it flows naturally. I now have to continue preparing for my interview by reviewing questions I will be asked along with good answers and my five point agenda.

Hopefully tomorrow I can say I got the job.

Then I can start preparing to get my boys from Ohio cause I’m going insane without them.

Wish my luck!

I didn’t go to the nightclub instead I spent the night crying cause I miss my boys. I can’t have fun when I’m depressed…

I then spent the night job hunting so I can get a job and go get my boys. Today I applied to over 8 places for receptionist. I applied to probably 12 or more yesterday and tomorrow I’m going to apply to 2 more that I know of, go to a job placement service and register, call 2 daycares and inquire about a job there offering, attend a job fair and grab an employment guide.

I also have an interview tomorrow and I need to apply for daycare assistance for the boys until I get on my feet.

Whew! I have so much on my plate right now. Please wish me luck!

It’s always some damn drama and I’m all the way in Florida. I can’t wait till I get my shit right so I can get my boys I miss them so much and then I have to get drama from Jeremy when my Mom wanted them for the weekend. Then we found out he cut Destin’s hair even though he isn’t old enough and the baby didn’t have no formula. Why would you wait till the last minute? If it’s getting low you should have enough sense to buy some more before it’s all gone.

He think he doing something cause he had the boys for a week. Real stupid…then he tried to say I’m creating drama from Florida when I asked him to let my Mom see the kids for the weekend and he want to keep them from her.

Then it’s a replay of everything all over again with the threats and disrespect. That’s why my family don’t like him and will never like him. He can’t even see what he is doing wrong so I told my Mom to not give him the kids back. I’m not going to go through this every weekend with him.

Why should I have to argue with him about my own mother seeing my kids? How am I wrong?

Anyways I might go to a nightclub tonight to see what it’s like.

Well I’ve been in Florida for 3 days now and I finally got internet through the cable company along with my phone service as of today. It took me a total of 19 hours to drive here, but it was worth it. I left Ohio around 9am and arrived in Georgia at 12am. That’s when I checked into a hotel to sleep. The next day I arrived in Florida within 4 hours of driving. It’s beautiful here and the weather is wonderful. All I have to do now is get a job. I have an interview Monday so I will spend my weekend preparing for the interview and applying to other jobs because there’s no guarantee I will get the job, but I’ll keep a positive outlook on things!

I took some pictures of the Appalachian Mountains while on the road and I’ll be adding them to this post later. Right now I have to check in with my case manager whom I know emailed me and everyone else.
