Congrats!!!
Congratulations!!!
One of the worst and best days of your life are when you lose your job and when you find another job. The best (outside of marriage and children) is the day you retire...been that way for 3 years now.
River Hawk, that is wonderful news! GOD is GOOD all the time. hope it turns out to be a great job with GODS blessings. Jimmy S.
Congratulations on your New job! The Good Lord always has a plan for us if we just let him work through us. Wishing you only the best!
I will be selling drugs......legally(pharmaceutical rep). I feel very fortunate to have gotten this job. I am 52, old and fat, but I can sell ice cubes to eskimos. Every job I wanted to apply for said "you cannot apply if you have had more than 2 jobs since graduating from college". In other words 23-25 years old, blonde and beautiful. Now think about it, have you ever seen an ugly female pharma rep or a not so handsome male rep? It was very flattering to have my future employer contact me and ask that I apply for the open position. My former supervisor's and co-worker's recommendations got me this job. My former supervisors and co-workers actually called the hiring manager on my behalf. THANK GOD FOR FRIENDS! I was raised to have a very strong work ethic and have done my best at every job I have ever had. It has paid off by having people that appreciated the good job I did. I am so excited. I will have a manager that I have known for 8 years and consider a friend. I AM VERY BLESSED. Thanks for all the well wishes.
Is your new screen going to be The Drug Man? Just kidding. You are right about the Pharmaceutical Reps looking like male and female models. Until Now!
Congratulates. I only lost 2 jobs in my life and both times I was blessed with a better one. Know how you feel now. May this be the last one you need before retirement.
Praise the LORD River Hawk. It doesn't surprise me a bit cause you are a great man.
Congratulations!!!!!! May all your sales be either easy or huge, and most both. Good luck on the new job. I spent some time looking for a job, found it, wasn't the best but it was work. Then i found one i could love, best time of my life! May you love your job as much as it was pure joy to do what you do.
and give you time for FIshin!
GLAD YOU ARE BACK TO PAYING TAXES AGAIN. Seriouly, I Thank the Lord He has provided for one of His children. He said He will never forsake His children and He has proven it again. Now maybe there will be a few seeds under some of the docks!!!
Good deal.... Maybe you can get Billbob a good deal on viagra.....LOL:)Quote:

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I can't wait to start on 8/20/12. I am having trouble sleeping. The WHAT IFS are keeping me awake. What if I don't still have it? What it they do not want my products? etc, etc. Sweet Thang tells me sleep good, you already got the job, that was the toughest part. I need this one to last me at least 10 years and 5 years with one company in pharmaceuticals is considered a life time. Got to relax and get back my confidence. I did not realize what a traumatic effect being unemployed had on my confidence. I still believe it will be like riding a horse once I am back in the saddle. Thanks everyboday!
River Hawk, God did not bring you this far to leave you now. you STILL have it and will do well if you continue to put GOD first in your life. I wish you GODS best blessings. Jimmy S.
Work habits do mean something and your friends recognized your ability and will power. You reap what you sow. You planted well and you were
tested and found deserving and worthy. Stay positive and assertive.
Congrats,
any advice. Been waiting 14 months. I've been talking and God is getting a lot of messages. Been feeling lower than a crawfish's belly. Unemployed photographer
I made money anyway I could while being unemployed. I fell back on other skills I had: ornamental iron, welding, catering, etc. I did anything I could to survive while looking for another job. Photography is a wonderful skill. I know you have already thought of this, but here are a few ideas. Contact every church, every formal clothing (bridal / tuxedo) shop in several towns close to you and let them know you are available to do weddings and other parties. I had a friend that had a photographer shoot pictures while she played with her son at home. Think about it, a natural, secure environment where the kid felt perfectly normal. The pictures of her boy were amazing. Contact day care centers, elementary schools and let them know you shoot private session at the location the family chooses. You may have to lower your price, but you will more than make up for it in volume for being uniquely different. Also NETWORK! Let everyone you know that you need a job. Every job I every got was because a friend told me about it and helped me get it. Pass out thousands of business cards because they are cheap and the more people that know about you, the more jobs you will get. Alsa get on the web. Find specialized job boards that are for photography related jobs only. They my cost $30 bucks a month, but they are well worth the money. In this OBAMA economy, you have to make your own luck, because it is not going to get any better. You can not wait for opportunity to come to you, YOU HAVE TO FIND IT!!!!!!!!! I wish you the best of luck and I will be praying for you.
I agree with River Hawk. My daughter-in-law takes team and individual pictures for the local recreation dept. Get a mailing list and those grandmas will buy everyone you take. Also, run an ad in your local shopper for private family pictures or group events such as reunions.
