I went on an interview today for a janitorial position. She wanted to know why I was not employed from December 2005 all the way through until June 2006?
I told her that I was collecting unemployment from the job I had previously held for 7 years. Also she wanted to know why was I unemployed from September 2009 to June of 2010. I told her that I was going to a vocational school. Far be it from me to call Everest a college. I was getting state help for my daughter, but that wasn't that bitty's business. All Im saying is, was she sooo concerned that I was sitting on my fat tush living off the governments dime and not doing anything? I'm sorry there are gaps in my resume, I was told long time ago, to omit them, so I did. My teacher told me that if they wanna know, they'll ask. Besides, I don't think I'd have room for them anyway!!

The bottom line is, I do data entry. And not knocking all the hard-working people in the custodial field(which I haven't done since the late '80s). I applaud you. But for this prissy to talk down to me, I guess appearing that since I'm a big girl, I cannot swing a mop around and empty some trash cans, is unacceptable. Just because employers have the upper hand, especially for the long-term unemployed like me, does not mean that I have to be talked down upon.

Needless to say, I went around the corner to another cleaning company, and I had a good interview. And the lady was quite nice. My family keeps saying that I'm soo smart. Why are you reducing yourself to manual labor? I tell them I'm tired of waiting for that dream sit down job. I'm starting to see things move on my wall that aren't really there!!!!
