[caligirl{Rob}]

Rowen and claire, thank you so very much for the words of encouragement. It means a lot and I do so try to work at not letting it get the best of me. MR reminds me that there are so many people looking for work, and that I will find the right fit eventually...patience He says....puzzled look, what is that! LOL...so hugs and again I have no words for all the PM's and YIMS of support. HUGS HUGS HUGS

You know you can always rant, as you call it, here among friends.

big hugs! and yes I do feel as though I am among friends!

Hugs to you mastersgem too!

After I earned my bachelors degree, I worked as an assistant for one of the top researchers doing AIDS and drug abuse research at a top university, before I made the mistake of trying to stay home and raise my children (yep takes no brains or skills for that! lol); with very little help from my husband, managed to get us through losing our home in the northridge earthquake, two years of dealing with lawyers, *m o rt ga ge companies, insurance companies, FEMA....managed to coordinate my dad's dialysis and other treatments, make sure hospitals and insurance companies got all their shit straight, saw my daughter through a long battle with anorexia and panic attacks, managed to keep things moving smoothly when my father passed away, when after 56 years of marriage my mother was faced with dealing with so much she had never had to give a second thought, (not because she wasn't capable but because He handled it all so well for us) have seen her through colon surgeries, abdominal hernia surgeries, again managed all of the home nursing care arrangements, insurance, banking issues, developed and helped run a successful marketing campaign for an insurance agent, worked recently part time seasonal to bring one of only two offices in the district to 100% compliance in office procedures during the end of season audits...but they look at the time without punching a time clock as though I have had my thumbs up my ass, and I am not capable of answering a phone or filing a folder.

HUGS so I am just in this god what do I do now phase I suppose. I appreciate everyone's kind and supportive words, and the intellectual part of my brain knows to keep going, but emotionally I feel like I it would be nice if the world would swallow me up.

Somehow that sounds like an excellent CV to me!! But I know...it can get to you. Knowing you have skills and can prove it, yet nobody seems to notice.

What's wrong with saying you have experience as a child care provider, legal aide, medical assistant, accountant, campaign manager, compliance officer....?

Nothing wrong at all, and believe me I do my best to showcase my skills, but seems if there has not been a paycheck and a timeclock they don't consider it experience....sighs.
