I endlessly applied for positions with not so much a peep back. There is truth to what you've been told about companies having to post up positions even if they already have a candidate in tow internally. Sucks but it's reality. Companies want to stay hiring within or with the referral of an existing employee. That will get your foot in the door (which helped me immensely in landing my current position) then the rest is all you. I have a friend that is a marketing manager at a company out in Yonkers and she was previously umemployed (like you) before landing her current position. If you're interested (with her permission) I can put you in connection with her. Could be worth a shot to get some advice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7853383728565826013.post-37673991816812019842011-03-07T12:57:07.862-05:002011-03-07T12:57:07.862-05:00I'm so sorry i can relate to waiting for a job...I'm so sorry i can relate to waiting for a job it took me forever...and now that i have one i have been so overwhelmed trying to stay on top off everything... i feel u girl...hang in there.Nikkeya Murguiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01817632785003594136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7853383728565826013.post-86660208431133810702011-03-07T12:45:27.592-05:002011-03-07T12:45:27.592-05:00aww im so sorry to hear that girly =( just hang in...aww im so sorry to hear that girly =( just hang in there...somethings gotta give in time im sure!!
