Job Searching

I have been looking for a new job since I found out that my current position will not help pay college tuition; I worked overtime and have yet to be paid; I am working for 2 bosses, 1 self-appointed manager, and 4 different companies on the same salary; oh, and the self-appointed manager told me, to my face, right before he left for a week's trade show in Las Vegas, the only reason I was here was "to check the fax machine." I have gone to at least 12 different interviews, scheduling before and after work, heard from 6 companies that they hired someone else, and now I am to the 'final contender' for my new employer.



I have to pass a background check before they hire me, as well as submitting a drug test. I have never done a drug test so that was something new. Quick to do, time-consuming to get to the clinic, but once there it took less than 20 minutes. Good thing I had to go when I got there . . .



The background check had a holdup because I am a home school graduate. I have gone to college so high school should not even be an issue. Especially for a receptionist position. **sheesh** But everyone has their guidelines. I talked with the background company and clarified the situation, hopefully I should be receiving an offer soon.
