Nola,

I'm glad you are interviewing so much. That is wonderful news.

You sent them a thank you????? Don't you have that backwards? They

should send YOU the thank you for you being there and giving them

your time. )

Try but don't try SO hard my friend...........! Trust in the " unlimited' supply

of your SOURCE. )

Sure will pray.......

Hugs,

Susie

Susie,

I have been busy interviewing all week. I have another interview today. I

have heard nothing back. I sent out thank you notes to all and on Wednesday

the one job was suppose to have made a decision and be pulling in people for

second interviews. However, when I spoke with him on Wednesday he said he

hadn't made a decision as of yet. This is where it gets bad because my

positions take second and third interviews and there isn't that much time

left for all of that. Nevertheless, I keep plugging along. As I said, I

have another one this morning so I will see what that brings. This is the

one that my drive time would be an hour and a half one way each morning.

Wow! But if it all works out I will just move into that area then.

(wherever I get a job I will do this) Thanks for asking, say some prayers

for me. Lots of hugs and Love.....Nola

[Guest guest]

Thanks Susie,

Basically I have been sending out resumes for a very long time and lots of

them besides. Now they are just finally

getting around to calling people and thats when the interviewing ends up

back to back. I am so used to juggling all

of this its nuts LOL I have been doing this for sometime. I am also

searching for transcription jobs on the internet again. I have done this

type of work off and on for about eight years, although editing skills are

bad so that hinders me from actually picking up jobs at some places ya know.

I have put it all in the hands of my higher power, it seems I have done all

I could. Lots of hugs and love....Nola

Dale,

You are the sweetest and kindest! I am definitely going to look more into

this. I live about a half hour from the downtown area. Do you think I

should send out a formal letter to these law firms? I have letters as I

work as an independent contractor most times. I guess I fear that I won't

word them correctly sometimes though. However, I am game for anything and

any type of work right now. My dreams are to work in transcription from

home and finish college for my BA in Information Technology, this will allow

me to work up to any age doing web design and such. I know a lot about

computers and from this experience that is happening now with jobs and my

age, I feel this would be very beneficial for me in the future. We always

need to keep our thinking caps on, don't we?

If you have any other suggestions, feel free to e-mail me directly at

alonenterprises@... . I will be working on my own website for my

business that I have this weekend. Hopefully I can make some money from

that. I sell many things, gifts, collectibles, leather goods, kitchenware,

hunting items and so on. So I am excited to get that up and running.

Hopefully it will do something for me until I can get work on a regular

basis and become more stable. So feel free to email me whenever you think

of something <smile>

Dale....thanks a bunch for all of your love and support. I really

appreciate it all. Gosh, I love you guys!

Lots of hugs and love....Nola

Dear Nola,

You have been on my mind and in my prayers all this week, and longer

it seems. I really think you'd be a wiz at the kind of

transcription I do as we have similar backgrounds. I had only a

smattering of legal experience as a word processor for Air Canada

(corporate headquarters in Montreal); and before that secretarial

experience in a bank i.e., no formal training in legal until I

started at McCarthy Tétrault LLP in Toronto. But I managed to

convince them that I had enough " legal " experience for them to hire

me, which they did on a temp basis at first from an agency. The

large law firms (at least in Toronto) all have glorified secretarial

pools where we do oodles of transcription for agreements; leases,

etc. (if you're in corporate dept.) and pleadings (fancy name for

statements of claim and defence and all that follows that in

litigation dept.) This pool is called " Secretarial Services " and

they call us " Technical Assistants " . Basically all they are looking

for is an accurate, computer savvy person who can handle a lot of

transcription (they test you first, but you'd have no problem

passing -- this is where age is a plus as we've been typing for

years, right??)

I have been thinking you love this until something better comes

along, I guess you are not near a large downtown area, are you?

This kind of job is not so readily available in smaller firms where

the gals do the dockets, accounting, phones, etc. I prefer to just

do the straight transcription. There is some compilation, sorting,

putting briefs together, but you learn all of that as you go. I am

still learning. The nice thing is that law firms pay really well

and they don't screw you re benefits -- they don't dare.

There are even legal transcription services that hire and

subcontract for the law firms, but here they tend not to pay as much

as the law firms would pay you directly. There is a huge demand for

typing of examinations for discovery, where the lawyers from each

side interview the opposite side's guy(s) and record all the

questions and answers and this becomes an official court document

and part of the pleadings later on (goes into factums for trial).

One examination on one interview on one day can be the side of a

manual, so multiply that and you get the picture. Sometimes they

are so badly done at the subcontractor's service that the typos are

incredible. So sometimes the law firms do their own.

Also, being a bona fide employee of the law firm (even p/t) gives

one all the benefits of full-time (eg medications, dental, vision,

disability, sick days at 12 per year).

There are some excellent online legal dictionaries which would be

useful to browse while you are waiting for interviews just you can

get a bit of confidence there, but honestly, the terms are really

few and far between, it is mostly facts, figures, names and dates!!!

We also have personnel agencies here. I found many temp jobs

through them and would often register with 3 at a time. At one

point, I was refusing jobs (but not the first year- ack!!!! that was

hell!!!)

So, I feel I am going through this with you -- it was pretty black

for a while as hubby's salary couldn't pay the bills and we were

(are still) seriously in debt.

So my heart goes out to you and know that I will be praying for you

this evening while at work instead of complaining about the

tediousness of it, I will " offer it up " for your success.

Love and {{{{hugs}}}}}

Thanks Charlene, I will look into that. I guess that never crossed my mind

Hugs...Nola

Well....Nola...if you are looking into Information Technology, you need to

increase your marketability

by looking into the HIPAA Security Regulations!!! The deadline is February

25, 2005, but many companies

are in a frenzy trying to determine what is needed and how to go about

getting it started. This is the ruling to

make sure electronic information is private and secure. We have been looking

at email encyrption, firewalls, etc.

The more you know, the better opportunities come your way! Charlene

[Guest guest]

PJ,

I had never heard of such a thing. Of course I wouldn't know much about it as

I've only interviewed

once in my life and that was almost 30 years ago.........lol.

Have a super Sat.,

Hugs,

Susie

Susie, I agree with you for the most part. But, I was also taught to send a

follow-up thank you note for their taking time to interview and meet with me. It

has always helped me out in the long run! a (pj)

[Guest guest]

PJ, Isn't she great? Lots of good information and very helpful, I was so

happy her and I had the chance to speak.

I knew something good would happen from my horrible day yesterday. Seemed

like everything was going so wrong

until the water turned cold on me....I sat and cried...then realized that it

had to be for a better reason and Dale came

into my life. Many good things have happened since...Lots of Hugs...Nola

Charlene, very good idea. Nola, this is a whole new field in information

more....Hugs...Nola

Nola, you can email me personally and ask me whatever you need. I will be

more than happy to help you out! I am the Privacy Officer which is sort of

the same as the Security Officer...just two different regulations. But, it's

good that you know about this now because it's not only in Healthcare, it's

in any type of banking/credit and education. I am sure everyone gets

inundated with Privacy Notices in their credit card bills, their doctor's

offices, etc....that's what this is all about. Blessings, Charlene

[Guest guest]

Awwww LOL this is so true Charlene, I find this to be true all the time.

Sometimes I don't heed the signs though and I wish I had....Nola

When things all seem to go wrong and it seems like I have to work harder and

harder to get what I want and I keep running into roadblocks, I have to just

stop and realize that it is just not suppose to happen. It can be the way

the stars are in alignment, or which house Neptune is in, or a higher power

trying to let me know that is not the route to go. If I don't listen and

keep pushing to get my way, I later find out I am miserable and shouldn't

have gone that route. When I just let it be and accept that things happen

and ride out the storm, I find not only am I much happier and less stressed

out, I end up being just where I need to be! Blessings, Charlene

[Guest guest]

I love it! Great idea, I just may try that on my next important interview.

Well, not like they aren't all important but you know. Great idea though,

wish I would have thought of that when I was going through my third

interview with Medtronics up here. I really wanted that job bad. Hugs and

Love...Nola

Yeah, customarily, as a job applicant you thank the person interviewing you for

their time and consideration. It's job hunting etiquette. Many times it sets you

apart from the other people interviewing. For one job that I really wanted, I

even sent a small bouquet of flowers to the person who interviewed me in

HR...that definitely put my name out in front...I got the job. I even know

someone who was going for a high-level job and he Federal Expressed his thank

you noted to the person. Something that someone would take note of because 1) it

had to be signed for and 2) the extra expense it took to mail it. These are just

some of those things they teach at those job hunting places and charge thousands

of dollars...and you are getting it free! Another benefit brought to you by

Affirmations De-Stress! Blessings!Charlene

Susie and !

You will not believe this...I am so excited that I can hardly type. Ok here

goes. I just got a call from a company that I wanted to interview with long

ago. I sent them a resume some time ago and never heard anything for awhile

Finally I got a call last week and the guy told me he would be calling me

back. Well, he never did so I figured he found someone else right? The

OWNER Himself JUST called me and said :Nola, Tell me you haven't found a job

yet! " I was soooo excited, he wants me in tomorrow to interview with him

directly for a whole different position as HIS " Executive Assistant "

Whoa!!!! I would be taking a ton of his work and doing it myself. He says

he has been looking for months for someone with my experience in the Food

industry and when he saw my resume he told his associate to call me right

away. Well, the associate called me for another position not this one. So

the owner calls me and tells me " Nola, donot make a decision yet on any

other position because I think you and I will work well together " He said

this AFTER talking to me right now. AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW I am so excited. I

really hope this works out. It's quite the drive from here though but I can

move over there in that area also. I would say it would be an hour one way

and in the winter months when there is snow on the ground our rush hours

around here it would take an hour and a half then one way. So, I told him

that I would move into the area so that I would be accessible to his

business whenever needed. He LOVED it and told me he has went through 150

resumes in the last couple weeks looking for someone like me. Gosh I need

to calm down LOL LOL Many Hugs.....Nola

Nola, we told you today and tomorrow would be your lucky days!!!! I just

knew it, I even felt it today!! We've all been praying for you and doing

affirmations and you know, it just had to happen. Keep thinking positive

thoughts and believe that it is already true, and believe " that your highest

good will be done " . (Then, if for some reason, it does fall through, then you

will know it wasn't right, and something else better is just around the corner).

I just hope the guy isn't a pervert. Be careful, as when someone wants you or

anyone that much, I always get a little suspicious. There I go again, with the

fear. Maybe I shouldn't have said that. But, just watch your back, and be aware!

Are your brakes getting fixed today?! I'm so very thrilled for you. Leave way

early tomorrow for the interview and do everything you can so that things will

go very smoothly and with no stress. So VERY happy for you!! Girl, you deserve

it!! Let us know how it goes!
