Hello,

Wish I could choose the ones that say "I want more money" or "I need a new challege". :-)

John,
Interesting comment. I'm guessing you mean you either have a challenging job and make great money or aren't currently employed. You've got me wondering which one it would be! Either way, best wishes for your career.

What wasn't on the list was re-entering the work force after a lengthy illness or disability. I have been on disability for 10 years and am now making the attempt to become self-sufficient. My life was turned upside down 10 years ago. I'm ready to get back to work.

Cecilia,
Congrats on your decision, and I wish you all the best in this life-changing job search!

[Roxanne]

Also not on the list was; looking for jobs for a slighly disabled person.

I must admit that moving to Indiana(Bloomington)three years ago I thought that there would be more non-profit work opportunities to choose from. Like so many people I just want to get back to work.

[Jennifer]

I would like more money but also a change in venue. Have the schooling and would like to switch from factory to office.

[Shanekqua Griggs]

The reason I've chosen I need more money because the job that I'm working at now is not making enough money for me to support my son and barely don't have enough to pay all my bills that why I need more money.

[Denise]

Am just getting back on my feet and am looking for work.

[Phyllida Porter]

I think John was hoping he could hire someone looking for new challenge: how about it? -- can people looking to hire connect with those of us with common goals?

I am with Barbara Blumer. I may sound like a squeeky wheel but its where I am coming from. A baby boomer...I guess I am not willing to escape my characteristics that are a big part of my personality. I need job retention skills, I need advocacy, I need to know how to get along with others who are new to work forces, are using political power in manuvering laterally and upwardly... Many dumb mistakes are being made within a work day and one of them is the letting of someone like me go. I recently took on a job that took a year to find...$6.85 per hour! I need more money than that. I simply want to become financially stable in 5 years. A millionaire. I need the help that Express Personnel seems that it can provide me. I think I will try it. lad/2008

I am looking for a job in which I can grow with the company.

Hi,

I've just relocated in August 2007. My husband is currently the only breadwinner for the family of 4 and it isn't easy for him. I need a job as of yesterday to relieve the pressure. I hope 2008 will provide opportunities through express personnel.

[Linda]

I need a vehicle and want to down size my credit, and get back to being in control of my finances.
