Dissapointments
I am disappointed and in danger of going back into my emotional eating. I've been putting my all into getting this one job that I thought would be perfect for me. And I just found out today that besides them liking me and thinking that I would be great for the job. I don't have enough EXPERIENCE! ARE YOU SERIOUS. This hurts me so much. Because all I want to do is get a job so i can help provide for my parents and start enjoying my life. All I want to do now is eat every single sweet thing I can find in the house. But I know thats not the right way to live.TODAY IS JUST A VERY BAD DAY...
IF ANYONE OUT THERE HAS ANY JOB OPENINGS THAT PERTAINS TO ANY FORM OF TECHNOLOGY IN ANY CITY. CHECK OUT MY RESUME. IF YOU NEED A BETTER COPY JUST EMAIL ME.
