Get an Internship

Quote From: renagade

Go to a temp service, they can be wonderful.  I also agree with you, only real good employers want to train anymore - and even if they say 'will train' that means you still must have experience, we will train you 'our way'. 

  

  

Unfortunately, you're facing a double edge sword -- you need experience in your field, but nobody wants to hire you for the experience. I have a solution, but you might not like it -- become an intern for the company you want to work for. Employers LOVE to hire interns becaue they don't have to pay them. Although you won't be getting paid, you'll be getting something more valuable -- college credit and real life work experience in your field. Plus, if you work as an intern, you'll have a better chance of scoring a job with the company because you'll already be working there and have many opportunities to prove to everything that YOU ARE THE RIGHT CANDIDATE FOR THE JOB!! Good Luck!

He's just not that interested in you...

Quote From: a8m1961

I work with someone who I feel compatible with.We seem to have good communication skills except when it comes to romance. I don't know if we're both scared to death to be romantic with each other or if it's just the fact that he has no romantic inclinations towards me. How can I tell if a guy is romantically interested? I've worked with him for 3 years and it's just been in the past several months that I have even considered him in a romantic way.
He's just not that interested in you...read the book. Move on and stop wasting your time. There are plenty of fish in the sea.

I agree with you!

Quote From: outloudest

It true what they say. When you stop looking for that thing you want the most you will find it. My husband and I met online but not through a dating service. We both had had enough of the dating world and called off dating. We both registered on yahoo looking for a pen pal. I got his profile as a match and I emailed him because we had a lot in common. We exchanged emails for six months as pen pals. Not once did we mention talking on the phone or exchanging photos. We were just long distance friends.  

We finally talked and exchanged photos in Oct. We met on Thanksgiving day. I was a soldier at the time and not going home for the holidays. He invited me over to help him cook dinner. I was really comfortable with him like I had known him forever. I would not recommend everyone do this but it worked for us. He was a police officer and I had him checked out. We have been together ever since. Married 5 years now with two beautiful children. 

Too many people go on these online dating services expecting to meet their soulmate in the first 5 min. I recommend going on there and meeting new friends. Start as friends and you can grow from there. Don't rush into things. Take you time and don't add more pressure by trying to make yourself the perfect woman or man. Be yourself and be honest. 

I agree with you! I've done every dating avenue possible: online dating -- all of them (match, lavalife, udate, kissdate, americansingles, and jdate), I've also done phone dating, meeting in clubs and school, I've even been on blind dates, and yes -- the show "Blind Date", and I can honestly say that I've done it all and NOTHING WORKED!! So...on June 1, 2005 I went on vacation -- from dating and I'm enjoying it very much. I'd accomplished so much that I've been wanting to do for myself. Now I'm builiding my studio -- I just hired my first intern! - and I'm working in finish my first book in 90 days along with a TV Script. Life is great when you think of no one but yourself!

A Message to Melissa...

I know what you're going through and I understand your point of view. I am also a petite woman (I'm 4'11') who is constantly faced with the challenges of being tiny. I have a hard time finding clothes that fit my frame. Why is it that designers make a size three for someone who's six feet tall! Not all of us are six feet all. And I'm not paying $150 for a pair of jeans or pants plus the cost to have them hemmed because no one wants to make a designer pant to fit a short woman. And women who are under 5'0' ARE NOT CUTE. CUTE IS FOR BABIES AND PUPPIES!! NOR SHOULD WE BE CALLED SHORTY, SHORT STUFF, OR ANY REMARKS THAT HAVE TO DO WITH HEIGHT! HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF I CALLED YOU FAT OR UGLY? Please think before you speak! And Melissa, unfortunately we can't change our height, but we can stand with our heads held high knowing the truth -- the best things come in small packages and I haven't had any complaints! : )
