The Sunlight that blinks the eye

Where should I begin talking?  Three years already and I am stuck in NYC.  I finally found a job but I hated it.  Last Tuesday I received a phone call from Manpower Staffing.  I met with a recruiter on Thursday at 9:30 am.  So far so good.  She loves my enthusiastic attitude but after our meeting I wrote her a Thank you e-mail and since I haven't heard back from her. What did I do wrong?  Am I suppose to play the waiting game?  She offered me a job working in a real estate firm.  I don't have any problem working there because they offer better salary and benefits.


Will these staffing agency call me back?  I'm guessing I will have the play the waiting game.  How sad....


Hello!, comparing to my current job, they offer nothing.  On top of that they don't even have any of my information.  What kind of work site am  I working for?  I even tried search engine them but they don't exist.

Most of my friends already have moved on and I am still stuck in the same place.  I really want to take the opportunity to move on with my life.  My dream job is working for the government but it's so difficult to get my foot into the door.  Why is finding employment in NYC so competitive? 

Don't I wish I need a little encouragement to move on in life.  Where's that sunlight? Where is my motivation to keep moving forward.




I want to look like this when I find the perfect match full time career with benefits.  When can I sing "We're the Champion " song?










President Obama... you tell that UNCLE SAM to keep us moving forward.  This picture already gave me some strength to move forward in life.  Keep working hard and I believe  one day all my friends  and I wouldn't have to suffer anymore.

  1. If you really want to work for the government, here is a site to apply - http://www.nyc.gov/html/careers/html/home/home.shtml

    You should think of taking a civil service exam - http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcas/html/employment/civilservice_exams.shtml Once you pass the exam and you receive your score, you will get hired and will not be able to be laid off. The process does take 2-3 years or more though, so take it soon and see what happens.

    Good luck in your search.

  2. Dear Mich,
    I don't want to work for the city government. I prefer to work for the state government or the federal government. The site I use to apply is USAJOBS.gov. Anyway, thank you for the sharing the site with me.
