None The Less, He Persisted...
All it took was FIVE F@CKING MONTHS, but I've got a job in my field again (IT Business Analyst)! Job market in Florida is just brutal, this was only the second position in SEVEN FREAKING YEARS that I interviewed for that was a direct hire and not a contract...
It's been just exhausting mentally...for anyone going through a tough time, try to stay positive...My mantra was "you're a day closer to this being over"...And "I've survived 100%of the difficult times in my life, including two battles with cancer, you can survive this"...
Be strong, be resilient, and persist...
Congratulations Barr!!! Now get your ass to work...

@"MaroonBells" said: Congratulations! I know what a relief it is to finally get real work again. I spent four years living on a smattering of unemployment, underemployment and contract work before landing a job at full salary in 2014.Currently living this life... and taking care of my mom. My laptop needs replaced, my truck has issues... I'm going to need to find a full time job before the end of the year more than likely unless things change... tired of being cash poor while working around 25- 30hrs a week... in two days.
Nice to see a few others find work again.
