I need to find work - offering 1 week free
I don't have 4 to 8 years to wait for the Economy to improve? 100% Willingness to relocate or travel ANYWHERE- ANYTIME if you provide the expense. Industry/Category ~ Surprise Me! I am up to the challenge. I have had one e-mail job discussion within the last two months. I have decided to take on the workforce in a new and different light. I have sent out the following request. I first came up with this idea in order to secure Vaccinations and Advantage for my three pets. I sent out a cover letter to six Veterinarians as well as e-mail to three. It has been amazing the last 10 hours of comments with my posting. Still need a job; however, I have had more contact with this offer in 10 hours than my original Cover Letter for the past 2 months. - home in foreclosure, car repossessed, two cats have been given to new homeowners. I still need a job that will meet my financial needs. I do have transportation and still live in my home at this time. Please pass this on to anyone that would be willing to consider my offer! I am not looking to become famous here, what I do need is a valid job that does not require a degree or age specific like with the Army. I have found that Monster.com and Craig's List have been both misleading and offer very little to someone without the necessary certification, approved credit rating and / or require money up front. I have now been seeking employment for 2 months. I have had one telephone call prior to this offer. The previous response would have required I pay upfront fees and work based on commission only. I understand that most jobs are currently on a hiring freeze or not hiring at all. It has been explained to me that the positions that are currently open have the opportunity to select from the "Cream of the Crop". Why not change that thought process? How many employees do you have at this time that complains about Monday mornings? What about the employees that work for you that always want to leave early Friday? Do you have employees that are not motivated and complain about their job and pay? I look forward to working on a Monday morning and will also look forward to working late of a Friday. Get the picture? I am the new economy employee and I am not the only one. Attached, please find my resume for possible employment or volunteer for services. Due to our current economy, my position and team were eliminated because of Job Abolishment at Sallie Mae after 6 years. It appears that I need to consider a change in my future career. I started out in school for a Nursing Degree in 1991 and was fortunate (so I thought) to be hired on direct by a local physician. I have been fortunate in obtaining employment based on my honesty, integrity and teamwork skills, as well as a strong work ethic. As you can see from my resume, I have maintained annual certificates in areas of Interpersonal, Analytical, Computer and Organizational Skills. I would be willing to offer you volunteer time for 1 week or more based on necessary job training. This opportunity would allow you to review my worth and ability in providing you with excellent customer service or business based needs. If I am not the candidate that you are looking for then you owe me nothing. I need a job and hope that you will consider me based on the skills that I have listed. I love working in a team environment but can also work independently. I am a people person that can relate to any given situation. I can only stress that you confirm my work ethics with my previous employers and references. I would be very interested in setting a time where we can talk about a possible position or volunteer with your organization. You can contact me at 850-832-8044 or email me at http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-150670/ . Thank you very much for your time and consideration. http://www.panhandleparade.com/index.php/mbb/article/floridas_unemployment/ Nearly 600,000 Floridians without a job AS OF 10/16/08 From August 2007 through August 2008, the Panama City area has lost about 17,000 jobs. That is just a piece of the total picture here in Florida, with the State losing almost 100,000 jobs in the same time period. The State of Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation released a chart in August that ranks the ten largest states' unemployment rates. It lists Florida as number one, ahead of states like Texas, New York, and California. In Panama City, the Workforce Center bustles with people searching high and low for a job. It has been that way for several weeks now.
