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...

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.
