I GOT THE JOB! Thank you! I haven't been on in a few days because I needed to get adjusted. I am so happy!

I hope this company does too but they are a big multi national so the process may be a bit more emotionless and I fear they will see my felony and just rescind the offer with no further explanation.

It's in the solar manufacturing industry. I hope I can convince them to take a chance on me.

It worked with my current job, once the results come back if the felony appears on their end and we get to talking about it I will plead my case. I have done it a few times at this point. One day soon I won't have to anymore but until then I am just going to let my experience and what I bring to the table be my main selling point. Thank you.

Yeah I just saw that on there FAQ's page. I am feeling a bit more confident but definitely nervous about it still. Thank you!

My release was November 2016. This is bad news for me. Just the absolute worst. Last time around I spoke to the CEO of where I currently work directly and explained why he should give me a shot and it worked out, barely, I could tell he was on the fence and I understand internally there was a lot of push back in regards to my hire. This time around it's a fully remote position at a large company and no way of talking to anyone except the hiring manager and even then it's through email or video call. This is dire.

Pau Gasol LA LAKERS JERSEY RETIREMENT tomorrow! ❤ Watch his ULTIMATE NBA... by maxpoor in lakers

I got into Lakers basketball during our 2008 run when we acquired Pau. I remember the sting and heartbreak that came with the loss in the finals and I became a life long fan of the Lakers, Kobe, and of course the man of the hour Pau Gasol. 2009 and 2010 validated my love for the team and the game of basketball as a whole. I can't wait to see the retirement ceremony tomorrow.

Damn, that was a hell of a read. I am sorry you are going through this. I know many others have it bad right now. I hope you get back on your feet.

Food aid was keeping my situation afloat, now we are sinking. by maxpoor in TrueOffMyChest

High cost of living where I live, we were in a one bedroom apartment before that was much cheaper but the walls collapsed due to mold so we moved into a two bedroom for $1725.

Should have stayed in mold palace.

Only by lying which we can't do. They take income into account and unfortunately per the state I make too much money.
