Job hunting is getting very tough out there nowadays. There are many jobs, but they are looking for the ones that does have the special degree, or skills, or years of experience. That does limit me what to apply for which is a major OUCH!
I do have more than 10 years of manufacturing which is great. But they are looking for specific kind of manufacturing kind of experience. I did apply for one of the job that required one years of experience, but I haven't heard from them yet.
I do have 2 years of experience in retail at the bookstore and some years of experience at the Library during my high school years and early college years. I love to work with books. I don't want to work in the cafe as a Barista again.
Since I lost my job, I had and still am applying to whatever that I can do even in min. wages and seasonal kind of job weekly. I even had apply for Bell Ringer job with Salvation Army. I still don't understand why I haven't heard any news, and it isn't like the good old days of job hunting.
Being deaf is one of the major barrier for me in trying to find the right kind of job with all the limitation out there. It is very discouraging for me. Yes, I had applied for disability even though I am not that crazy about that idea. Vocational Rehab told me that I should apply for that, so that it would enable me to go back to school again. I always wanted to go back to school and get college degree. Now, if I am qualified for this disability, then I will be able to go back to school again.
The Lord knows all of this and knows the best for me either to work or to go back to school again. Also, I do know that there will not be any perfect dream job out there, but the right and the best kind of job that I can do. I rather be volunteering the rest of my life instead of returning back to work. It is a true joy to volunteer.
Please do continue to be praying for me either to get the job or the disability to enable me to go back to school again.
