You look great! Such tremendous progress from your 1st pics.
Awwww thanks hun!!!! Appreciate the compliment but again, I think you have done an OUTSTANDING job!ck2006 said:Not as nice as your back, but it is getting there! thank youI seem to remember a avi that you put up last night and you were looking mighty fine, hmmmmm, what happened to it, hmmmmm?
And I know I've just been one of your many cheerleaders along the way 
Hope the interviews went well....
Sorry they didn't go good, ck. There is amazing double standards in industry when it comes to women. A couple women I went to trade school with got railroaded out because they were women & the old Millwrights in the factories were out to prove they couldn't hack it. Their loss, 'cause the one woman was just about one of the smartest people I'd ever met.ck2006 said:

Next place: Was for a welding apprentice position sooo the fucking advertisement said. I get there and it is a fucking chop shop and he said "Oh we have enough welders here but you can be a get this..... a fucking metal carpentar, what the fuck is a metal carpentar??? It is a person that takes pieces of metal and bolts them together, for how much money???? 14 bucks an hour. Then he has the fucking nerve to say to me "you know you are going to get dirty", AAHHHHHHH
shoulda grabbed his hand and shook it "OMG I've officially met CAPTAIN OBVIOUS!!
Then my mother in law, bless her fucking heart (no really I do love her) but she says to me "why don't you become a teller, a fucking bank teller??????
My fucking goal now is to either apprentice in carpentry or welding and some way some fucking how I will do it, then I am going to go to the apprentice board and every other fucking company that won't hire a person because she is a fucking woman and educate them on the fact that there are people here that want to work and are willing to get fucking "Dirty" to get the fucking job done, and if a man doesn't have to go to a fucking pre-trade school to fucking apprentice then why should I????
OMG I think I love you.
Kay I am (well I a might as well say it again) fucking done.
and I have another interview tomorrow.
take your welding helmet & gloves with you...."I'm ready to start now." You should get one of the specialty helmets like this: http://store.weldingdepot.com/cgi/weldingdepot/3011005.html
My ex that passed away earlier this year worked in a welding supply store for the entire time we were together 12+ yrs.
Now I am going to the gym.

see answers listed above.
I have a ton of experience in carpentry but I can't get an interview. anyway.... not going to start again.
Yes ... please no more RANTSck2006 said:LMAO! I love you too! when they asked me what experienced I have I was going to say I leap tall buildings and pull a rabbit out of my ass
Love your answers I am going to keep them in mind for tomorrows! hee hee
like you LOL with all those F bombs I bout had to run and hide 
hehe
treilin said:Sounds like the interviews went well
I would tell them what experience you do have with welding... Let them know what other factors you can contribute to their company. Tell them you are a hard worker, you are organized, on time, meticulous, etc.. Any extra skills that you can bring to the table.. like book keeping, or clear driving record, or computer skills (obviously you have), teaching or traing you have doen in the past, ANYthing and everything why you can add to their company to make it 'more complete' and better to have you work for them.. You kinda have to sell yourself even if you don't technically fit the position you read what they are looking for and you craft what you are going to say as to what you can provide and why you can provide it better then anyone else they may have in mind to hire.... Etc...
Interviews go much better if you sit down and figure out what they want, answer everything they want in an ad, figure out how to negotiate salary, benefits, sign on bonus, gas for traveling, etc... You just have to play the game. I have never been turned away in a interview. You have to go in with confidence and a firm handshake and let them know you are the person they have been dreaming about.... I mean half the time once you get gired you won't be doing exactly what they say anyway, and they'll have to give you some sort of OJT... Don't let them no you are desperate for a job either. Always leave without accepting the offer but let them know you will get back to them with 24-48 hours with an answer that you need to talk it over with your husband. That's how you get salary increases. They will always low-ball you, but if you have done your homework as to what the cost of living is in the area, and what the going rate for a job in taht area is, then when you call them back you can say " I appreciate the offer and your time and after further discussing the position with my husband and paying for day care, looking at the average pay rates and statistics in the area (list the websites for them where you did your search) we feel that X may be a more suitabe salary." Then you can also say stuff if they are unwilling to budge to have a 3 month review so you can get a raise.. rather then waiting a year.
Ohh and always have a nice little paragraph memorized because this is my favorite questions they always ask:
Tell me about a time when a tough decision arose and how you handled it?
Tell me about a time in which you were recognized by a past employer?
Good luck
) I am glad you reminded me of that, it has been so long since I have done this, looks like I am going to get a lot of practice though, hee hee

Morning CK!!! Glad to hear it went well on the interviews.....
treilin said:Were you hyperextending your back??
I have a bad back and find it easier to do them on the ball because the surface is not as hard and forms more to the body.... Could be positioning on your part?! Just a thought.
Hop eyou have a great day today
Why not try the ab work-out then in the Shadow Programck2006 said:i know it probably is positioning, but i can't seem to get it right. Are they better than the other ones i have been doing?
I hope you have a great day as well
thanks
^^ Good lord CK if you haven't done these TRY THEM .. They burn. I remember seeing the wokrout from Shadow's Project for the following week (not that i think of it it may have been the following DAY or so) after 1st doing these, to add a super set... I wanted to crytreilin said:
Going for a walk later tonight for ya Clear skies , no thunder
sbt2082 said:Sure did... went to the gym, ate, the store, washed a car, ate, back to the gym, ate and hung out... FUN stuff of course!!!
How is the job search coming along????
Are you keeping track of everyone you sent resumes? Make sure you call them back if they don't call you within a week. That will let them know you're really interested, and sometimes they just forget to call back.
Will2BLean said:Good morning, CK!! Isn't job searching the worst? I hate waiting for callbacks.
Have a great day!

Atta gurlck2006 said:well, i though I was going to have two interviews but
one is for a construction boot camp - which is AWESOME, cause they place you with a company afterwards - good experience, so I go next week for an orientation.
the other one, thank god I researched, it is another scam!!!!! aHHHHHHH, didn't realize how many companies out there protray themselves as one thing and they aren't (it is to sell insurance) she made it seem like it was an HR position!!!!
oh well, staying positive, at least now I am getting wise and researching these companies (there is always a positive)
off to blow off some steam
HAPPY THOUGHTS, HAPPY THOUGHTS, HAPPY THOUGHTS
Scooby dooby doo!
Construction boot camp sounds kinda cool Have a blast darlin'
