I am a single mom of a teenager. I am in need of a job (As a lot of other Americans). I'm not here for handouts or to request money, I am here to ask for a job in the North Houston, The Woodlands, Spring, Conroe Montgomery County, Texas area. I am an Administrative Assistant/Cost Accountant. I have 16+ years experience. I have diligently been persuing employment since January 2009. I had a wonderful job, loved getting up in the morning to head to the office and assist four Financial Executives. I took pride in my accomplishments and my achievements in the short time I was there.Always eager to help out be a teamplayer, hardworker willing to be extra hours to get a job done if needed, always one if I was current on my workload would ask if there was something more I could do. That job ended December 23rd, 2008. This termination took a toll on me emotionally and on my confidence. My termination had nothing to do with my work performance, I had been working on a temp.to perm position through an agency for this company for 3 months until I was put on permanent hire June 2008. I was elated because I saw the potential to move up to a Manager position and they saw my potential going as far as paying for me to go to College to get my Accounting Degree.Then comes Xmas Party around the 1st week of December, everyone received their Xmas bonus at the party. I was shocked and very appreciative seeing that they recognized the hard work does pay off, they see I am a trustworthy, loyal, hardworking employee is how I felt at that moment when I saw the Xmas bonus I had received. Later that night we all met at another location where I ended up leaving my purse in my co-workers vehicle because I was going to get a ride back to my vehicle shortly there-after. What ended up happening is her leaving the place with my purse in her vehicle. When I realized she had left I called her to let her know ummm you left me and my purse is in your car by then she was almost home ( there was a split second when I realized my purse was there that my xmas bonus was there, I had left my purse open with xmas gift from my boss sticking out and she might see it, but immediately felt horrid for thinking such a thing, because my co-worker and I had become close friends, even introducing her to my daughter and hanging out. Well I ended up meeting her for breakfast and I got my purse where she joked she had looked in my purse immediately saying she was kidding. I believed her. Well the end result I got called into my head bosses office and terminated because everyone in the office had found out about my bonus and there was an upset because some had been there years and I had been there less then a year to have gotten that. It was a he said/she said type scenario and I was terminated December 23rd, 2008. It is so hard (I was devastated to say the least)to deal with something like that I was in bed feeling sorry for myself for a few days till I forced myself to get up brush it off and learn a lesson from it, Not to so easily trust people. I've lived my entire life proving myself through hard work, honesty, loyalty, never being a quitter, having integrity. Not being a college graduate you have to do that extra to compete, always eager to jump in and learn a new skill, new software program and mastering it to keep up the times. Taking notes and becoming a sponge taking full advantage that these CFO's, Comtrollers were willing to teach you. I do have great references of my work ethic and character. I have faith in Our Lord that he will not forget me and my family in this moment of dire need. I know he is with me and helping and guiding me as I get up every morning and get my day started in my job hunt. I won't go into my financial woes, because my soul purpose here is to seek employment and begin working again and I have faith and know that things will begin to turn around once I am back in the workforce. I am registered at 6 temp agencies calling them every Monday morning to let them know I am available as well as doing my own leg work, faxing, emailing new jobs that come up on different online job sites (Where I'm up by 5am searching if anything new was posted), You name it I've registered. I have also started to market my talents to do freelance work from my home office. No luck yet but like I said before I'm not a quitter! So if anyone knows of any office work (in my area) or job opening please drop me a line. Thank you and God Bless. Liz
