Oh my Lilly,

You are not a failure. The right job just hasn't shown up yet. It always amazes me how sometimes the things we think are bad that happen in our lives happen for our best interests. We can't see it at the time but down the road we realize it all worked out the way it was suppose to. Hang in there the right job for you will come along. A job that is meant just for you.

Love,
Michelle

You are fine, and all is well, I would recommend you relax and have some tea, or whatever that is calming, and you can relax.

You are doing everything right,
I am an adult, and lived with my parent for awhile again

I have not finished school yet, however, I know I am soon

I went on a recent interview, that I was sure I would get it, cause it was just a regualr job, nothing major, and things I have done before
and I would have put alot of money down that I got a job, I was so confident

I am still in shock,, that I did not get it, My ego was bruised, no question

I know in my heart, I was not really into the job, just knew I was more than qualified for it.

Now, I know, the positive aspects of at least going to interviews, there were two differnt one
and the last one, I probally inserted my foot into mouth, but I spoke from the heart....

is, I learned to do better for a future interview, I needed help with interviewing with like 6 people all watching you, asking you questions, ugh
stressful
I learned to be more proffessional, so that was not a waste

my point: look at the postives
you are wonderful, sincerely, you are attracting a wonderful job, that you will love, wit the particulars you want
it will work out, i just don't know when, and in the meantime, just focus on the positive

breakind down is fine too, helps you release, and become more passionate of what you truly want, fine tune what excatly you do want

I don't know what I am going to do for a job either
I have one, but I don't want it, so I am intending that I will attract better soon
and I would love it, for some more free time, and start going into work in November
would love that!

start writing, drawing the type of home you want that you will live on your own
a condo, apartment, a house, that is always fun, I think

clip furniture out of mags, cut and paste, or whatever hobbies you enjoy

come back and tell us how it all worked out so beautifully!

thank you. It's true, also regardless of degree, people still have uncanny time finding jobs they have passion for..

your idea sounds good. I am going to shread all the job offers that i typed.

I am going to write down my wishes
1) I want a permanenet job offer from USA (NYC, Rochester NY, Texas, Florida, Arizona, California)--i changed my wish "I want a permanent job from USA" to I want a permanenet job offer from USA.
2) My future loft

So I can carry paper with me daily and visualize.
what do you think? Or is it better to focus what you asked for first time


I love watching interior designing/decorator and fashion. But do I see myself working there, someday. It is like a dream job to do but it requires education and training.
But I love working in the office and working with people.


Should I focus on the dream job (fashion/interior decorator even though I have no experience) or focus on the permanent job that I want t work, in administration/working with people? (I have experiences). That what I want to work

Help me

Lily, anyone can be positive and enthusiastic when everything is going well. It is only in times of stress and anxiety that our character is tested. Disappointments and rejection are a part of life. But are they really disappointments and rejections? Only if you let them be. Or you can use this as a way to learn. SOme of the greatest teachers of LoA have been afflicted by great heartbreaks and tragedies before they became successful. Handling life's situations is what distinguishes the ordinary from extraordinary. Jack Canfield has been rejected somthing like 144 times before he was able to publish his Chicken soup for the Soul books. Abraham Lincoln was rejected tens of times as well to be elected into office. Be persistant and you will find a job. I know it.

Three years ago, sold everything I owned and moved overseas. I thought it was my last kick at the cat so to speak, as I was horribly depressed and wasn't sure where I was going in my life. I hated my regular job, and couldn't see that I had a future in anything.

So I went overseas; it changed my life. However, as I was overseas, I overspent everything - my body/mind and my bank account.

I came back to Canada shattered. I moved in with my parents at the age of 29. Yay. Here I was, world traveller with all of these amazing experiences, ending up living in my parents basement. I sat for four months pretty much starting at the walls. I was in a funk.

Then spring came; I went out and got the first temp job that I could; that connected me to this great little marketing firm. I didn't stay there, but it allowed for me to start into another job with a wonderful starting wage - more than I had ever made before. Now, I'm at that same job, have been promoted three times, and am making double what I made before I left to go overseas.

I guess what I'm saying after that ramble, is that maybe there is a temp agency that can help you out to find a job, even if for a while and then, often from there, permanent jobs manifest.

I would also ask that you ask the school that rejected your application for feedback; as them why they didn't hire you - it could be that one of your references is giving you a bad reference; it could be that there is something in your skill set that is lacking that can be upgraded. If it was because you are deaf, you can sue them for discrimination. If you are looking at work at a school in Canada, it would really suprise me that if you had all of the other required skills that they would refuse you because you are deaf; to me it makes more sense that perhaps you don't have the skill set they were looking for.

I would hope that being deaf would allow you to upgrade for free (cheap) someplace if your skills are lacking. I would also look into equipment - because often there are grants available so that you have the equipment that you need so you can do your job. This website too: http://www.cad.ca/en/ might have some suggestions/ ways of tackling this. They may even have connections for jobs in the US as well.

I don't know if you are looking to the US as being a Canadian citizen, but it is really really difficult to get a job there period. If you haven't had a permanent job for four years, I would say from an employer's perspective it would be difficult to commit to wanting to sign a Green card for you, if I knew that all my work as an employer might be for not.

It also, also also could be the universe telling you that you are heading in the total wrong direction. Maybe instead of calling yourself a failure, attempt to take stock of what you have, what you are good at, what you love and focus on that instead. Write up what your perfect job would be if you could be paid a million bucks to do it - and not the job that would provide "security"; the job or calling that would make your heart sing. Sometimes we as people think we are heading in the right direction, and it takes the universe giving us a big old smack on the head for us to listen.

wow, that must be pretty crazy. It could be fun going overseas and explored everywhere. It can be embassaing and sucks living with your parents, but you are very lucky to have them who support you regardless. I am so glad to hear that you are happy with your new job. Congratulations. I am happy to hear the good things come to you.

I would love to work in USA, here in Toronto is good, but after spending 4 years of my life searching for jobs, nothing happen. Lots of my friends who are deaf were lucky to land jobs in USA.
I still applied for deaf organizations in Canada, in fact, I havent heard from them. I know about CAD, thank you for your help. Here in Canada, it's the limited services

I want to work in USA, great acommodations and support services and America Disability Act. Regardless of visa/citizenships, I just want a job/career.

What im good at....
administration
working with people

im good at art

i love fashion and interior design/decorator (dream job but no experiences)

but I focus what i love to do administration/working with people.

That's my wishes-that I should focus on that daily
I want permanenet job offer from Toronto, Canada and USA (NYC, Rochester, NY, Texas, Arizona, California, Florida). I want to work with administration and social services
I want to live in the loft and own jeep wrangler
