[QUOTE="Steely, post: 258598, member: 3301"] You can do this! You are just going to have to be really tenacious. To get 1/2 to 1/3 of a reply on resumes is pretty unusual. When I was out looking a year ago, I got more like 1/8th. I had some people send me rejection letters, when I had every single credential they were looking for. It was maddening!!! Then one day, maybe after 3 months of applying for every job out there, I got a call back and interview and hired. On another note. This new job I got, literally fell in my lap. Someone forwarded me an email from a friend who was looking for a manager, and I got the job. I mean, it was almost surreal it was so easy. So you just never know how things will play out. The only thing that is for sure (that I struggle with like crazy) is that you cannot take anything personally. The job will happen, but rejection is part of the process of finding a job. As for finding your life again - I am so happy that you are really pushing for this. You deserve it girl! I think you and I are in the same boat - finally finding ourselves and our lives after too many years of being hyper focused on our kids. I cannot imagine being in a relationship right now - and yet I crave it. I rationally know there is too much healing that needs to go on in my soul to have a mate - and yet who does not want to be with someone and live happily ever after? Sigh. Perhaps you should move to Arizona with me so we can both start our lives over! At least we would have strength in numbers. (lol). :raspberry-tounge: [/QUOTE]
