Hi, Quick post today on my experience in looking for a “GOOD JOB” in the Des Moines, Iowa metro area. First… I have yet to find a good employer; one that will treat a person with respect, pay a fair living wage, and have reasonable expectations. I will be posting on this more, but in trying to find jobs and land interviews, it has been a terrible experience.
I will share more details in future posts related to recent experiences I’ve encouted from recruiters that have stood me up , not scheduled the interview with the hiring manager; and most recently, tell me they are unwaware of the job posting I was following up on. In the back of my mind, when this happens, I wonder if it’s part their hiring strategy. Are they testing candidates to see how desperate they are for work so they know how shitty they can treat people once they bring them in????
So this leads me to feel the self empoyment route is probably the real way to make money. I just need to get myself out there. I’ve started to try this, and will share some odd stories related to this also. Since this is a blog about trying to get ahead, no better place to put it out there than here. Hopefully I can get the comments section active so others can share their experiences also. I want to get it set up correctly so nasty, insppropriate stuff is not public.

FYI, still trying to master inserting normal sized photos for pending posts. As a reader of blogs, it drives me insane when one photo fills up my entire screen and the text is so spread out I can’t just “read it”.
Getting by, making do, and moving forward
