Hello workforce, here I am!!
Apparently I have no skills worth anything except child care! At least, that is what the employment world is telling me! The fact is, almost every job I have had and held on to for any length of time has been in the child care field of some sort. This does NOT mean, however, that those are my only skills and that's all I can do! My resume is filled with all my previous job experience and somehow I am seen as an ideal candidate to babysit your kids, but not so ideal to work in an office!! CAN I SCREAM NOW!!! How does anyone expect me to gain office/computer skills if they won't offer me the chance to learn them? Everything related to the computer that I have ever done, I have learned far more quickly then others and its not like I am "computer illiterate." I can do many things on the computer, just not super familiar with some of the programs. Does this mean I am doomed to a life of babysitting forever??? HELP ME! NO! If given the chance, you would see me rise to the occation and be far more knowledgable then anyone thought! You may be surprised, but you'll never know because you won't hire me!! I guess that commercial is right...."I can't go to school because I don't have any money...I don't have any money, because I don't have a job.....I don't have a job because I don't have any skills....I don't have any skills because I didn't go to school........."
