Re: Would you?

Things would be so much better if they (powers that be) just made training programs affordable and within reach of people without the need for loans (don't qualify for) or staying unemployed for...

Re: Would you?

That is how the airline did it as well, 2 weeks posted in house then open to public. Was rare to hire off the street though at my airport.

The zoo did that as well back when I worked for them,...

Re: Would you?

She has more valuable work experience/skills, and a more outgoing social personality which helps.

I on the other hand, have a very introverted non-social personality that hurts me at interviews,...

Re: Would you?

I have the intake appointment in the morning. It was delayed due to being ill a couple weeks ago, didn't think it wise to go in with a fever and all around sick.

My wife has been going to the...

Re: Would you?

Most likely, I will have to look into it, as I can't think of any of the top of my head, so will need to look around.

Meeting was rescheduled for Friday for the job place. No biggie, Friday works...

Re: Would you?

I agree with you on too much time free. I do what I can to stay busy, and granted it's easier in the summer with the nicer day's and ability to go outside more on longer walks etc. Winter is a bit...

Re: Would you?

I have been trying to see DBT since 2012, there is simply little to no resources and help for borderline disorder, this is a well known issue in BC.

Re: Would you?

I haven't been offered any low cost DBT locally or even found any. The therapist I was seeing over the summer is DBT trained and does groups for child services, but she was not aware of any adult...

I can't get a job, I have no skills of any sort that is of any use and have not had 1 interview locally in almost a year. A few interviews closer to Vancouver but can't exactly commute 100+km for min...

Re: Would you?

At this point not sure there are any options left, can't get student loans, too poor...

Re: Would you?

They do offer single parents training...

We went today. The case workers were all busy, but they said someone will call with an appointment next week, we signed up and filled out all the paperwork though.

Having spent some time looking around at available rentals closer into the city and going rents, we have decided it's best not to do the commute since there doesn't appear to be a very good chance at...

Certainly an improvement. I don't think I could have created an effective resume, so I am appreciative of the person who helped me, could not have done with without the help.

Re: Would you?
